This. More specifically, I have heard that the "Southern Bell" accent is the closest accent to the original, proper 18th century English, and that "ain't" was a desirable word by the upper class.
For those not familiar, the Southern Bell accent is the kind of accent you might here from upper class white folk in the Deep South. It's almost gone, now, but maybe still exists sparsely. Most commonly, you hear it in movies set in the old South.
And who is to say that the "Southern Bell" accent is the original original? It might have evolved from something else. Like you rightly said, change is not new. Just accept it.
Mankind posses technology to divert the asteroid, OR we have already died horribly by some great disaster.
And by then we personally may or may not have died depending on speed of life sciences research and our living habits.
But, as Seinfeld might ask, then what's the deal with the pending Google patent that describes capturing wireless data packets
The deal is that the patent describes capturing and analysing wireless data packets to extract the IP adress alongside GPS coordinates in order to enhance Google's IP geolocation accuracy. The "mistake" that they owned up to is actually dumping and storing all packets, not just the external IP address. Those are two different things.
In fact, when the story broke out about wi-fi, I suspected it as much. They are sinifing all the IP packaets! To those who say, if you don't want it sniffed, then encypt it or it's on public property and everyone can sniff it or whatever, lets face it, not everyone has the ability to do that. And even if it's not encrypted, does not mean everyone has a right to read it. It's supposed to be my traffic. It's akin to llistening to my wireless calls by capturing wireless traffic that is supposed to be meant for me!
By the way, crying foul when someone captures your unencrypted data is not like getting watched by someone when you stand naked in your window. There is a difference. The watching someone naked bit does not require effort on the part of you eyes. It just happens naturally when you are just wondering around (unintentionally). On the other hand, Google actively drove around the country, intentionally to capture data. It's shady to say the least. And EVIL.
I think we are at a point where we cannot really distinguish between virus or spyware or scareware or whatever. Virus have already started doing what spyware doing a couple years ago. I mean, it sounds just pointless that we distinguish them. Bad program is a bad program. It does not matter what we call it. Guys at StopBadware came up with a good term a few years ago. It's a badware. It does not matter to the end user what it does!
The summary is just stupid. I mean when you use a botnet to collect all that credentials, wont you naturally use the same botnet to check them? All that blabber about options was just pointless on so many levels.

I am going to patent "x days and x hours and x minutes off"
oh wait...I can go even further to seconds...damnnn
He was an expert on virtually everything in the world. He has written numerous books to prove that.
Imagine if it were illegal to change the engine of your car, or the wheels.
Hey, someone had to do the car analogy.
I really don't want the option of being able to run Apache on my phone and being able to SSH into it so I could configure it right.
But does it run Crysis?
HI I AM BILLY MAYS...
oh wait, I actually liked it.
If I ever hear it again, it will be hi, i am billy mays. Would be lame.

If we continue on this path, I would expect them to have voting rights pretty soon. If that happens, who decides a corporations vote?
I am going out on a limb and say that it is not running on Windows!

You could of given us some examples there.
Apparantly, could of and could have are new your and you're.

Can't wait for the TV show of this! Those Japanese have crazy shows.

Symantec (and McAfee) is much worse. For starters, it's not inobtrusive like other scareware.
