    2. McDonalds couldn't claim against McSomething, but that's not parallel. What's more similar here is McDonalds suing over MCDONALDS. Which I think is perfectly reasonable provided we all agree that it's okay to sue over McDonalds (which, maybe not, because that's a name so it's kind of weird in the first place)

    From Wikipedia: In one noteworthy case, McDonald's sued a Scottish café owner called McDonald, even though the business in question dated back over a century

    Weird it is, okay it is not, as I remarked yesterday to my buddy Ipad.

    True. OTOH both VLC and mplayer have been getting away with it for almost a decade. Then again, Firefox is a pretty big target.

    As it is, the ratio of Iraqis vs. Americans killed is around 1000:1 If you still want to improve on that, you're a genocidal maniac with an extremely provincial outlook in my book.

    ADHD is aneurodevelopmental disorder.

    Yes it is. It is also very rare and extremely overdiagnosed. As is the case with Aspergers and clinical depression, this trivializes the condition and ultimately hurts those who do have a real problem.

    "Bird killers" makes it sound so evil. Call them "Automated Dinosaur Culling Devices" and public acceptance will soar. Open a KFC underneath preferably with a large net on the roof and the natural cycle will be complete.
