A simple search on the Web shows French-speakers themselves until now aren't generally agreeing to use it that way. Myself, I have never yet. As for decades ago, both uses remain up to 2000. Since then, history remains to be seen for it to become of any significant usage. The form e.g. 'dix-neuf cent cinquante' is widespread when talking about history and tends to be used more while getting older - quite curiously. For 'vingt-cents' = 2000, it's not yet been accepted as natural by French-speakers. Probably because a sense of styling, linked with history and oldening. While the years are not far off, they're said the more modern and rational manner. Wouldn't it be the same, though in English? English-speakers have only recently felt a need to protect their language as has been an habit since long for French. http://teacherweb.com/MA/WatertownHigh/MrsHayes/NUMBERS-revised.pdf http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nombres_en_français#Centaines_vig.C3.A9simales

Thanks for the clarification guys + gals :) Funny how things sound 'right' or 'wrong', isn't it? I wonder why…

It does look pretty good. I would be tweaking the UI if I was going to use it — particularly on the address book, I think. But overall quite well done.

I'm a happy user of owncloud. Currently it offers a solid experience on hosting for personal files and public/restricted sharing of files. Other features like music player, PIM features are still a inmature from my point of view. But I'm very happy with it!!

Perhaps, but in terms of energy usage per user, I'm willing to bet that iCloud is more energy efficient than if each of those millions of users was to set up their own server. Even if each family/whatever did it, there is still an advantage to real 'cloud' clouds.
With the advent of the Raspberry Pi that could change, however. Which is one of the reasons I'm looking at personal cloud servers. Bring on the Pi in the Sky! :)

Interesting. I'm used to acoustics with neck joints at the 12th or 14th fret -- not the 13th. Is the top sitka spruce? On some of my acoustics, I've improved the tone with a bone saddle and nut (denser than some of the plastics). Does the guitar intonate correctly? Have you checked with a strobe? I'm assuming it does; I noticed what looks like a compensated saddle. - Any chance of adding fret markers? Got a Baby Taylor recently- Great guitar, except it goes out of tune easily.

Hi Barnady. Fantastic looking guitar. 000-shapes are my favorite, actually. Do you sell these? ...I should probably Email you. Anyway, guitar looks great.

Okay, I finished all of that course, except for Lesson 4 #8 UpperLowerCase. It keeps telling me "TypeError: Object has no method 'toUppercase'". I must be missing something fairly simple here ..?

Whoops, those should have been substring() all lower case.

Thanks, but I meant OpenCV as in the Computer Vision library! I should have been more clear.
BTW, those tutorials cleared up some stuff I wasn't sure about, so were worth watching for sure!

Having a catch all will get a lot of spam with many copies of the same message. The good news is you can use this behavior to filter it out.

I asked the same question here: https://diasp.org/posts/411899 and got quite a few responses.
