CP: The accused has distorted the billboard area without my client's permission.
CD: My client has agreed to re-edit the film to remove all shots of the Times Square Billboard area, thus resolving the plantiff's grievance. Does my Learned Friend concur?
>> You can never keep up with MS changing and adding to the API all the time. You have to change with every new release of popular programs (e.g. Office).
But even Microsoft application products have to be able to run on older OS's. OfficeXP will run on Windows 98
I've just figured it out. By exposing us to more and more annoying forms of advertising they are conditioning us into considering banner ads, which were similarly reviled when they first started appearing, as being not so bad after all.
Pretty soon we'll actually be begging for their return. End result - Advertisers win by a psychological knockout.

>> "But again there's lots of "I believe" and practically no "I've observed."
It's another facet of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle:

There's nothing like empirical observation for highlighting the flaws in a hypothesis.
I think I can still redeem it though. How about if I pretend that it was a humorous comment. Phew, good save.
If it's not the playing of games that gives rise to a more dexterous thumb, but the other way round, then we have the following scenario:
Mutated gene gives rise to a more dexterous thumb.
A more dexterous thumb grants the host improved console gaming skills.
A host with improved console gaming skills has more opportunities to procreate than those without the improved skill.
Leading to:
An increase in the proportion of the population with the mutated gene.
Ergo, evolution by Natural Selection.

From what height was he dropped? And was he still working afterwards?
