... and that's just the beginning. So much for MediaWiki, which is the only thing that needed PHP anyway. No wonder even the lead developer eventually said good riddance.
I'm also happy to unleash red-hot hate against emacs (which I use anyway) and "asm-alpha" screwing up my tab-complete for "asm-arm"
From TFA: According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHA), excavation for the interstate system has moved enough material to bury the State of Connecticut knee-deep in dirt.
Please stop comparing our size to the size of other things; please stop covering us to a certain thickness in material; please stop laying our women end to end (and remarking that no one would be surprised); please stop filling in other places or events with multiples of our population. Enough is enough!

We are an online pharmaceutical company. We provide Cialis, Levitra, HGH, and various other medications to help our customers lose weight and/or enjoy better performance.
Our primary means of business is acquiring new satisfied customers through email. We work hard to gather new prospects through combing Usenet posts, guestbook entries and mailto tags. Having so many emails to AOL addresses falsely reported as spam not only increases the workload for us, but deprives the AOL users of the benefits we can provide.
We can only hope that cooler heads prevail, and that AOL corrects its spam reporting facility. And that we are quickly removed from MAPS, ORB, Spamhaus, SpamAssassin, SPEWS, and all your.procmailrc files.

Broken cut/copy/paste. Please, just give up the obsolete X'ey way of "select is copy". That war is over, and X lost. Just let go.
We can't do the common task of "select text A, copy to clipboard, select text B, paste to replace with text A"... because the second select copies text B. An explicit copy operation (Ctrl-C, easy to do), fixes this problem. Notice that Mozilla and some other apps handle this correctly themselves.
Backspace key aphasia. I can't believe that in 2003, I'm still having to dick with Ctrl-H/Ctrl-? issues in certain terminal/telnet/ssh situations. It's a simple key, and it should just work.
The terminal bell aka beep. Bash, xterm, etc. beep at me far too often: when I've backspaced too far, when a tab-completion is ambiguous, etc. etc. One of my first tasks at a new system is figuring out how to shut it off.
Emacs. It's still the best out there for me: syntax highlighting, auto-indent, mouse support, tab completion, etc. But it comes out of the box configured for colorblind epileptic monkeys, with horrid colors, broken select and replace, menus full of commands you'll never use, and common ones buried under M-x something something.
It's full of obsolete jargon that should be thrown off the lifeboat: "kill" a "buffer" to close a document, "minibuffers", "window" meaning pane, "frame" meaning window, and so on. It claims to be configurable (if you want to learn Lisp), but the keys modern people want to use (Ctrl-S, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C) are so tightly bound to fundamental operations that they can't be changed. "Cut" in the menu claims to be bound to F20. Where the fuck is that key on any keyboard built after 1978 and/or found outside a university computer lab.
Why does the "Completions" buffer stick around after you've used it? Even if you try it later, it doesn't work. Why doesn't it go away?
Changing the text font in Emacs should be simple, but the "faces" interface is useless, and you end up editing X resources.
Man still lets you down too many times, but it's still better than info, and GNU's jihad isn't helping.
How come when I'm in Workspace 4, and launch a program that takes a long time to come up, and move to Workspace 1 to do some other work, the program pops up in WS 1 instead of 4? CDE and KDE do this.
Time and time zones are still screwed up. You think you have it set, but you really don't, because there are several places apps look in.
Our local Whorehouse (oops) had a similar Out of Business sale. Starting with 10% (!!!) off the regular $18.99 sticker. I walked back out; these guys just weren't serious.
This was the same place that offered one new CD for every _five_ used CD's you brought in; a deal I never took advantage of.
The Store Closing!! sale dragged on like a World War I campaign. Finally they're gone. Good riddance. All these $18.99 chain/mall stores with limited selection and no local artists can just dry up and blow away.

I misplaced the hyphen and got www.expert-sexchange.com - different sort of popup.

Well, first you propose that the joy of pure math is second to something other than the joy of self-mutilation. Then you try to find a contradiction.
