Will be leaving the U.S. like rats from sinking ship.
I spent a lot of the past couple of weeks with folks from Sweden, Czech Republic, and Malaysia. Who would have thought that ten, short years ago, each of these would become a haven of free thought compared to the Wal-Mart Wonderland.
A forgery would almost certainly have been done in a courier typeface.

The next claim they will make is that the Memos originate with Hillaty Clinton.

It isn't just arbitrary changes to the display model, you foo'!
If you envied the work Apple did in the Quartz graphics layer, or are supportive of the work Keith Packard is doing for X.org, then Avalon is right up your alley. Goodbye, old GDI. (Well, almost. GDI will now be.dlls that can be called up by Avalon, to display GDI in a window for old apps.
I understand a modicum of cynicism - but claims that these changes are for arbitrary lack of compatibility betray an unalloyed ignorance.
