It should also be noted that hay isn't a completely sustainable resource. Most agricultural products require large amounts of fertilizers to produce. And where does fertilizer come from? Fossil fuels naturally.
Software makes changes to system settings all the time. Sometimes it's nice enough to tell you (like when you install CD burning software and it asks if you want to disable autoplay), but I'm sure often times it never tells you, and you'll never know because whatever it changed didn't have any noticeably negative affects. So I give AOL props for fixing an annoying feature. And as long as it doesn't install Gator on my computer, I'm not complaining.
You can't go wrong with Eclipse. Of course it only supports Java out of the box, and real men naturally use vi. But it still kicks ass for when you need to throw together a Java app.
It would be much cheaper to pay workers from sweat shops to piece it back together. Sure it might take a little bit longer, but for ten grand you can afford to higher a lot of kids for a long time. Or even better, have monkeys to do the job for free : )
I'm anxious to see demolition derbies in a couple decades. The green flag goes down, all the cars start racing towards each other, and then the computer kicks in and they all slow to a halt. Fortunately, people will still be driving their 20-year-old Hondas on the road, so you won't see many at the derby. Let's hope Chevy doesn't start using this system : )

Over 50 years after it was introduced, it's still in use...with a few slight changes of course.
