I'm hoping that with the ballot screen gone I'll see fewer computers from technically illiterate people with with every browser choice installed and unused.

That's interesting. These comments make a lot more sense in IE11.

For others without that specific font or what have you: "Unicode Text Converter"

On my windows box with chrome all i see are empty boxes.

Looking for another name IS the appropriate resolution.

I was watching the iphone6 one and I had the same experience as you. I'm not sure why you're being downvoted.

I didn't click the link, it sounds too much like an advert.

Re:Memory – Part 4: Intersec’s custom allocators on Tuesday October 01, 2013 @10:34AM (#6476419)

I didn't have a paypal account before last night. After signing up I found the payment gateway quite broken (paypal have sent me several emails now saying i have successfully added a card ending in 0000). So now I have Β£800 floating around somewhere in cyberspace, accounts on two websites that I don't care to give any business to and most key to the issue; no pledge to this project.

Screw Paypal!
