Perhaps the class overrode certain operators, such as array access []? Although I don't know if overriding operators is technically a feature of an object-oriented programming language. It's really a robust, orthogonality thing, which is tangentially related.
But one of the features of OO programming is you could, in theory, swap in a completely different class and, as long as it had the same interface, it would be used seamlessly with just a recompile. No changing of any caller's code anywhere. Of course, that could be done with a non-OO language, too, presuming the developer did some reasonable amount of modularization of the feature, so again it's not technically an OO-specific feature. OO does, however, if used properly, enforce development of things like public interfaces vs. private, that are easy to mess up in a non-OO language.
So the reintroduction of (normal) oxygen (molecules) to oxygen-starved cells, produces side products that actually kill the cell?
Lemme write that down.

Dana Carvey as The Geezer: Back in my day, we deedn't need no steenking dij-it-al compootors. No, you plugged the wires and gears together, tied it up with string, and let it run smoking for six days just to add three plus seven. The smoke filled the room, you choked, and died, and you liked it!

Funny, that. If the company loses money, suddenly it's cost-effective to do it.
Reminds me of EverQuest, and why I will never again play another Sony MMORPG. They make a mistake that hurts the customer, say, necromancer pets are suddenly all being cast 3 levels lower than they should be, well, that can wait for the next update in two weeks.
But if something is to the advantage of players, like necros can suddenly cast 2 pets simultaneously, the servers are ripped down that afternoon.
Speaking of this kind of filthy behavior, anyone realize banks and credit card companies want you to get into financial trouble so that they can charge you outrageous interest rates and/or "overdraft" fees. "Oh, we'll cover your $7.50 lunch charge on your debit card, but we'll charge you $36 as an overdraft fee."
I hear Apple is going to make a fuel-efficient automobile, too, though you'll have to pay a mechanic to torch off the soldered-on gas cap in order to refill it with gas, then weld it back on.
Loaner cars will be $139 per day, minimum 5 days rental (though, in practice, the repair will take about 18 weeks), and the day "ticks" at noon, so even if they repaired it in 1 day, and you returned the car that afternoon, it would count as two days.

Holy crap! The video games industry was gonna collapse and it might be decades, if ever, before some other corporation created another video game console?

Don't forget comics have an extra stage of grief: unbridled joy!
That's when the dead guy's path crosses The Beyonder or The Molecule Man or someone with a time machine or someone with an Infinity Glove or someone threatens Death or strikes a deal with Death so Death barfs them up or Reed Richards invents a resurrection machine or Doctor Doom invents a similar machine or The Leader dabbles where he shouldn't or the dead guy's body takes an accidental beam of Gamma radiation while a radioactive spider bites him on his left ass cheek's infected pimple while the moon is in the second house and Jupiter aligns with Mars.
And if that fails, a retcon (retroactive continuity change) always works.
And if that fails, a reboot always works.
And if that fails, a realization they can earn cash resurrecting them, as was done with Captain Marvel, killed thirty years ago by cancer, untouchable by resurrection for ethical reasons by writers all these years.
I fully expect the dead Robin to be resurrected, preferrably by a bad guy who makes him p00p all over Jesus like South Park does. Ahhh, the joys of stomping all over something good for quick profits.

That is correct. It's precisely not about formatting. It's up to the browser to format things. That's what tags are all about -- to let you know what something should be, not the exact details of the rendering.
I've always claimed this issue is a failure of browser renderers. The same argument that applied to typewriters -- the extra space is easier on the eye -- also applies to web browsers. With slender, closely-grouped proportional fonts, the extra spacing is even more important
I really should make a web page to try to get people on board for this change.
What's wrong with just taxing things at the point of sale, just like any other industry?
It's like two kids trading Pokemon cards, then someone wants to tax that because some 34 year old wants to sell the ultra-rare Ripuoff-chu card for $30.
I suggest we pay attention to who, in Congress, is leading this charge, then have a chat with them at the next election.

EverQuest should run fine on it, too, even if WoW doesn't.
Great. Only on Slashdot would you see arguments about the first derivative of a story.

One of the things the government likes to add to the list of charges are that you didn't buy your marijuana tax stamps.
And, ironically, you are supposed to be able to go down to the post office (or somewhere) and be able to buy them, no questions asked.

Microsoft care about competition from Linux?

Toshiba plans on releasing a laptop in six months, complete with 448MB of RAM (512 - 64MB for shared video RAM).
Looks like there's a flaw in God's plan to kill gay people with Aids. Sweet!
Today, Satan and the Demons sing, and the angels cry.
If only Yahweh had designed his murderous bug with a little more forethought.
I was a member of The Syndicate way back in EQ days. I assume this is the same Syndicate with "Draagons" as the guild leader.
LLTS! And so on and so forth.

Especially knowing, as He did, that people would then go on to treat it literally, and slaughter anyone who doubted it.

Good. Hit the elected bastards right where it hurts, in their election balls.
It works. See the US two weeks ago re: immigration "reform". Or the US 15 years ago re: nationalization of health care.
