    Who would be stupid enough to check for the OS version that way? It should have been something like:

    if ( ( MajorVersion * 10 ) + MinorVersion >= 51 )
    {
    }

    Oh, a different meaning for an acronym that's been in use for over 50 years. That will sure help with the confusion!

    There was a translation problem when the order came in,

    "We want a smart, flip-phone" got translated to "We want a smart, flopped-phone".

    And boy, did HTC deliver!

    Ethical vegetarians will eat this but still won't eat meat from animals. They would still be vegetarians. This wouldn't be "meat" to them.

    Some people don't eat meat and animal products for health reasons, others for ethical reasons. So I think this will split the vegetarians and vegans into four groups:
    - health issues vegetarian
    - health issues vegan
    - ethical vegetarian
    - ethical vegan

    Because some businesses don't want to lose even 1% of potential customers. That's why you see Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc. everywhere.

    I just wish companies would put up pages for their own products on their own website instead of telling us to learn more at "facebook.com/product/".
