No, I think the tobacco companies are worried about losing profits so are doing everything they can think of to try and prevent plain packaging. It wouldn't matter if they thought it was fair, they'd still react in the same way.
Given that the acid2 standards compliance test http://www.webstandards.org/action/acid2/ produces identical results in Browzar and IE (well, the version 6 I have installed anyway) I'd say it's a pretty good bet. It will be interesting to see how they go about producing a Mac or Linux version if they're just wrapping the IE renderer in some way.
Whilst I appreciate and admire the attention to detail that Ian has displayed regarding the epoch milestone I don't think that it really matters.
The way I see it, the milestone being celebrated is that the epoch is rolling over to 1000000000, not that it's been 1000000000 seconds since the epoch started. If we were celebrating the latter then Ian would have a good point and we'd all have to modify our alarms accordingly. But I think the rollover point is a more significant milestone than the true count of seconds.
All this really means though is that we have two celebrations within 22 seconds of each other. I certainly don't have a problem with that;-)

Yeah, cause no site has ever let you download a mp3/flac version of a CD when you buy the physical disc before. http://www.bandcamp.com
Actually, yes, the Parliament is spending time discussing iTunes and Amazon prices:

Yes but have they found any evidence of Elder Things yet? Or at the very least some Shoggoths?

# apt-get [upgrade | dist-upgrade]
I've now upgraded the entire system from debian 2.1 to debian 2.2.
That's why you use apt-get.
