40 years ago when I was 15, I was an Explorer Scout (yeah, I was a bit of a nerd). Bell Labs (now Lucent) opened up their doors every week and taught teenagers how to program computers. I learned Basic, Fortran, some other obscure but similar languages, and even a bit of machine language. As I recall, the computers we used were PDP 11s with Teletype machines for consoles. We saved our work on paper tape. For those of you who have worked with punch cards and keypunch machines, punch cards are a step up from paper tape.
I had no idea at the time that it would later become my career.
Read the actual letter. They didn't demand anything. They requested a response. Soulskill also said "Google has until July 14th to respond", making it sound like an ultimatum with consequences if a deadline is not met. In reality the letter requested a response by that date. The letter was not in the demanding tone that Soulskill implies.
License suspended? No exception? Really, no exceptions?
Have you ever used Google Navigation? You don't even have to look at your phone - it speaks to you when you have to turn. And if you have a windshield mount, it is no different than a stand-alone GPS.
No exceptions, huh?

Weeds are also superior... from an evolutionary standpoint.
For a while in college we had 1 day turnaround; 2 runs in a day if you were lucky. And I thought that was bad. You got me beat.

They state right on their web site in the FAQs that the data may be fabricated... http://www.netmarketshare.com/faq.aspx
Does anyone remember back in 2000, Saddam Hussein bought 4,000 PS2s, presumably to build a missile-guidance system.
