Moderate this up! If the judge askes the lawyers how they figured it out, they'll have to say: "Well gee, it wasn't really protected too well". (You really should have copyrighted your post tho;)
Year versioning might be OK for "mature" products - products that have been around for awhile. But it would be very confusing for "young" software. Suppose I have a "new" killer app. Which is more informative to you? "Try speaksh 2000 Alpha today!" or "Try speaksh 0.0.1 today!"
Maybe they just banned these to quiet down the folks who must have something "external" to blame. Forcing retailers to remove these from the shelves probably didn't make many retailers too upset. They didn't make them do anything with Quake II, Quake III, Rainbow Six, Unreal, etc... This way, the gov't was able to do what gov'ts are good at. Satisfy the whining ignorant masses without upsetting the people with the bucks.
I do believe there *is* such a thing as mental illness, but I think 22% is rather high. Asocial behavior is one thing that many psychologists and psychiatrists would point to as a symptom of a possible mental "illness". Many slashdot readers might even appear to exhibit this symptom (I know I do). However, I consider it a very healthy, natural response to a lot of the external pressures that a lot of us face. In fact I consider a lot of people who are supposedly mentally healthy to be mentally ill. This is not to argue religion, but in my mind (I'm agnostic) I find people with strong religious beliefs to be a little mentally ill. I find people who believe in war to be a little mentally ill. Those two categories overlap quite a bit and where they do, I think you have a serious likelyhood of "mental illness". These are just opinions, but thats the point. My opinions are not widely held, therefore, my mind doesn't work like normal, therefore, I am mentally ill. An educated psychologist has the respect granted to those who complete such an education by those who have had their thinking trained to be more "mainstream". So this whole group defines mental health by "majority rule" - "the norm", which is perfectly understandable and arguably correct. After thinking about this some more, maybe 22% is too low. If not, I'd rather be mentally ill...
Come on. Hand sticking out of the dirt wrapped around an arm of the human (now a 45 year old man)? The plot thickens....hmm. Only way to save the world is to bury this alien and then lay on top of him so he can't get away. Arghh, he's reaching up. I'll just lay here till I die if I have to. Bye cruel world. ohahhh.....

You can get all three for only $5.00. That's about what three MCP's are worth....
I think so. Plastic head, no brains inside. Other vital parts missing as well. (Heart! I was thinking Heart!)

Yup, it works. Was it like fox.com before?
