You're making claims that are untrue and short sighted. I call FUD.
First, to release a patch to a commercial application used by millions of people is inherently troublesome. You've got to make sure you test it thoroughly...because unlike Open Source, the liability is on YOU if people can't get their work done.
You must have different version of MS's disclaim-all-EULA.
So... In everyday speech it is acceptable to be illiterate. Got it.

YES! This is just the thing for restaurants, movie theatres, shows and other places where people with cell phones act like assholes. No need for the active jammers that the FCC frowns on now....
Are implying that all the electronics you are using are manufactured to the same gasoline safety standards as the pumps? Somehow I doubt that is the case....
The point of the matter is that christians for thousands of years now have been trying to snuff out competing religions / beliefs and substitute their own.
well heck, if they can believe that he was raised from the dead on a day that varies year to year - "co-incidentally" to overlap a certain Pagan holiday, then they can believe anything.
The least they could have done is picked their own holidays instead of attempting to smother pre-existing pagan ones. Like Christmas for example....
Why is it so interesting about watching a bunch of dumbasses living there lives
Unfortunately, the networks are carrying this kind of dreck because the majority of the audience wants it. Of course, this is that same majority that needs warning labels on hairdryers so they don't use them in the bathtub.
Having "CE" stand for "Christian Era" would sort of defeat the whole purpose for getting away from the archaic "AD" and "BC" designations in the first place.
This sounds rather self centered to me, what about the people on life support in hospitals as an example of someone whod would rather not do w/out power for a week. Not everyone sits in front of the TV watching "reality" shows until their eyes glaze over.
Surely - the author of this article means "Adventure International" ???
Though Infocom was the most successful company producing IF, they were not the only one; other notables include Adventure House, founded by Scott Adams, and Sierra On-Line, cofounded by Roberta Williams
United States but was big in England. And, I was surprised no one protested that I hadn't mentioned France's MiniTel, a device that was part of one of the first public computer networks, presaging the Internet.
I believe the MiniTel was setup in the late 70s, which of course IS long before Microsoft invented the internet with the introduction of Windows 95....
The last thing people should be concerned about is some fictitious mark - what should be triggering flashing lights and warning sirens is the incredible potential for abuse!
The heck with some sort selling rfid enabled clothing, with implantable rfid chips the government would finally have a dream come true - allowing them to track the populations movements.
Years ago, before AIDS was all over the news, Chapstick Lip Balm used to say something on their label that began with "Aids prevention...." I believe it continued with "of chapped lips" or something like that, but I'd bet a lawyer saw those two words together and demanded they re-do the label.
Why is it the attitude that those signs along the highways with posted speeds are the speed MINIMUM signs - a rate of speed you have to strive to achieve at all times? I get so tired of hearing people complaining about others who will not at least drive the speed limit. If they would ONLY listen to themselves sometime. Here in the states, in 55mph zones the minimum is 40mph, and I was told back in 1987 when the 65MPH speed limit was enacted in my state that the minimum (40MPH) would not change - but I don't know if it has since been revised.
People just need to lose this blasted "Me First" attitude they learned as a little kid, and leave for their destination a little earlier.
Please enlighten us with the source of your statistics.
If everyone drove the exact same speed, you wouldn't have the people weaving in and out of traffic just to get slightly ahead of where they were - it would accomplish nothing since they would not gain on the car ahead of them.
Actually, having everyone drive the exact same speed (yes, I know that is ludicrous unless you hook cars together in a trainlike fashion) would result in the opposite of what you state, complete ORDER. What we have now IS chaos.

The earth isn't flat and the sun doesn't orbit us either, yet somehow world religions go on
Hmmm - religions kinda remind me of a virus...
So does that make them a lifeform?

I'm sure you think it is just a co-incidence that it overlaps a pre-existing PAGAN holiday.
If you are not entirely close-minded and completely brainwashed, take a look at this page:

CE = "Common Era"
BCE = "Before Common Era"

1984 is paradise compared to this nightmare.
Makes me wonder what the best selling NON-FICTION book is....

Someone needs to switch the channel from MTV....
Speaking of Frazz, he's always looked to me how I'd envision Calvin to look at that age. The drawing is very similar.
Co-incidence?
Sounds like packet radio, which HAM radio operators have been doing for over 20 years....

Slow drivers cause more fatal accidents than fast ones. That's why there's a 40MPH minimum.
