Bought a CD for the first time in ages, and it arrived today. Instead of a jewel case, it came in a cardboard sleeve. Is that standard these days? Makes me feel a bit wistful.

Every once in a while we receive a CD even in a mere paper sleeve, but we do get them occasionally in cardboard sheaths. More than half still come in jewel cases however, when they do come.

MP3s come way more often though.

Only if you're doing it right.

Depends on the sample rate.

It's not standard, but it is increasingly common.

The Perfect Jazz Collection box sets have the CDs in sleeves replicating the original LP covers. Right down to this...

Well, Kati's grandpa does call 'em "those little silver records," so I guess it makes sense.

I don't understand why DVD, BluRay, video game cases, etc, etc, aren't all the same size as CDs. What a waste. GameCube was particularly offensive in this arena.[DOUBLEPOST=1413695862,1413695806][/DOUBLEPOST]

I will find who made this

And I will kill them

And no jury* in the world will convict me

It's worth noting that the vocal sites that pushed the anti comic sans movement didn't actually hate the font. They just thought it was used far too often in inappropriate settings.

My boss uses it all the time, but a couple of teachers at our school are dyslexic. I like to think she believes it's helpful.

You know, that one's borderline. A clear, simple, friendly looking font being used in a school isn't altogether inappropriate, even if it is a bit unprofessional or unpolished.

 

[Cajungal]

Sometimes it's appropriate--sometimes it seems a bit silly

 

[Officer_Charon]

There’s nothing wrong with Comic Sans, in my opinion… If I had the option, I might even turn in reports written in it.

Well, it's not like he murdered an unarmed black man with Comic Sans.

I do have an irrational hatred for the font: I find it so stupid and ugly. I realise that also, yes, you can choose a bad font for a situation, but no, my hatred for it has no bearing in fact or reasonable argumentation: I am a font racist.

 

[fade]

It's mildly funny, then, that fonts come in blackface.
