Apart from me believing HTML in emails is *still pure evil*, maybe this argument helps to come to a decision: whenever my boss sent out HTML emails (mostly real information wanted by the recipients, no advertisments), an intolerable percentage of recipients didn't receive anything because HTML in emails makes spam filters such as Spam Assassin increase the probability of that particular email being classified as spam. When I told her "send it as plain text", it *magically* reached everyone. Now we don't send HTML emails anymore.
You might want to have a look at CapiSuite - I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for, but it sure is easily customizable using Python. From the project description: "CapiSuite is an ISDN telecommunication suite providing easy to use telecommunication functions which can be controlled from Python scripts. Currently, mainly voice functions and fax sending/receiving are supported. It uses a CAPI-compatible driver for accessing the ISDN-hardware, so you'll need an Eicon or AVM card with the according driver. "
Besides which, kilobyte and megabyte and gigabyte is not jargon. It is a computer term. Sorry but your attempt to revise history has failed.
Jargon. Specialized technical terminology characteristic of a particular subject.
Not being jargon but a computer term sounds not so right. Just a thought.
The problem in your argumentation, imho, is, patents were not made for small or middle-sized companies, but for the big ones. Patents are expensive both in terms of time and money. And software patents thus only help the mega corporations becoming larger and larger and pushing all small businesses out of - well, business.
So our solar system is one of the last guests coming to the party, and by the time we enjoy ourselves, everyone else is leaving again.
Gee, we must have missed a shitload of fun. Whatever that may look like.

The article says the game's been rated 18 and above. So I guess it should be clear and obvious whose fault it is. Cowboy Neal's!
