Astrology is old as hell (we're talking bce here). So no, there was never a point when it was mostly about science as we see it today. Predictions of human lives and even medicine were always part of it. The point where it relates to astronomy is that "the better your observations of celestial objects were, the better you could decide how to treat your patient". So modern astronomy is basically a fortunate byproduc of human idiocy (mostly idiocy because of Aristotle and Plato, fuck I hate those guys).
One crash every three days... wtf! I'm running two to four instances of opera every day with each one having 20+ open pages at the same time and can't remember the time when one of them crashed.
Actually, the whole point of Copyright is to benefit the publishers and distributors. You see, in the days before copyright in the US, books and such were brought from GB or other foreign countries and then outright copied and distributed without a worry, but when there started to be local creators of content in the US, the publishers and distributors came to realization that 'Wait a minute. If we pay this guy to write a book, anyone can still buy it, copy it and start printing and distributing their own copy with lower price. What's that, there's something called copyright in GB... that sounds like a swell idea, let's introduce that here too.' And such is the story of importing copyright from GB to US.
A great summarization, but sadly not possible in the US because of the great commie fright. Anything that even smells like social legistlation is automatically used as a slander against the person who suggests it... at least that's what it looks like from here where I live (Finland) and sadly the legistlation from US is starting to spill over to here.
Have you ever tried to program a complex web application (with heavy amounts of data displaying and processing going on) with AJAX/PHP and then do a similar type of application with Flex/Flash, because I have and I'd sooner hack my arms off than do it again with AJAX/PHP.

If you have so much frustration when working with Windows, it just means that you are doing it wrong and fail.
The problem with that analogy is that monkies don't hit keys at random.

That, or like any other 19 year old you just wanted to annoy the hell out of anyone else with an infernal bass bounding.
