I'm in the same boat, and setting the environment variable MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO to 1 also has no effect for me. So until my work machine gets changed from Redhat 9 to Ubuntu (I lack permissions to install libpangocairo-1.0.so.0), it's still version 2.0.0.15 for me at work.
Perhaps you're thinking of serendipity? Schadenfreude only applies to sadists.
Well, the border between serendipity and Schadenfreude can be very narrow. For example:
Leslie Arzt: Did you hear about the guy who invented nitroglycerin? He blew his freakin' face off! His lab assistant came in the next morning, found his boss' body, and said, "Huh. I guess this stuff works."
For that lab assistant, it would be both. (That is, if the story were true. In fact, Ascanio Sobrero and Théophile-Jules Pelouze both survived the discovery of nitroglycerin.)
For the viewers of Lost at the shortly-to-follow ironic death of Arzt, it's just schadenfreude.
(Anyway, my mixing up serendipity and schadenfreude was deliberate and intended as a joke. It kills with Mensans.)
In any case, assuming the story is legit, let's take this same logic one step further. A maid finds child porn while cleaning some guy's den. We should, therefore, obviously require that every illegal, undocumented maid working in the state of Texas have a PI license. Similarly, every maintenance crew working for a company, every IT employee, every office assistant who might potentially use his/her boss's computer, every school computer lab administrator, every plumber (child porn could be hidden under the sink, you know), every electrician (going to rewire somebody's entertainment center), and every employee at every hard drive refurbishing center.
And then effectively everyone becomes an agent of the government.

And not just the nuclear DNA, but also the mitochondrial DNA is replaced.
Still, if you could do the same to a plant cell which has a distinctly different cell structure, would you still consider the resulting cells human or not?

Damn. And here I thought the singular green "Friend of a Friend" capsule by your name meant you might have a compatible sense of humor. I'm more comfortable with people who can laugh at their own mistakes or at how they were misinterpreted rather than taking umbrage and trading insults. I did in fact catch your meaning, but "+/- a decade" more generally means literally plus-or-minus, not more-or-less. If instead you had said "a decade +/-" (with a standard deviation of years being implied) I probably wouldn't have said a thing.
And technologically speaking, 10 years in the future it may well be obsolete technology, so you may yet prove to be literally correct.
Don't think of the Foe flag as me saying you're my enemy; instead take it as a marker for me not to try to be funny in response to you in future. I still wish you a good day, sir and look forward to more critical if less humorous exchanges on other topics.

I feel compelled to purchase on DVD or better the movies I've taped in the past from television (typically HBO). I don't feel compelled to purchase on CD or buy a download of music I've recorded in the past from radio.
However, while I also don't download music, I would make my own DVD of some movies if they would just air somewhere. I'd still buy a copy if it came out (and have done), but I'm not interested in paying for a download unless I can burn it to common and compatible portable media. A short list:
Electric Dreams (1984)
Probably never released due to rights issues, wide sampling of television, commercials, and movies Moontrap (1989)
Walter Koenig and Bruce Campbell and orange pods on the Moon containing cannibalistic robots, effectively remade as Virus (1999) 10 years earlier TAG: The Assassination Game (1982)
Campus rubber-dart game (like the paintball in Gotcha! (1985)) where one player obsessed with winning decides to start killing for real Prime Risk (1985)
Two teenagers plotting to get back at a bank that wronged them by cloning ATM cards stumble across a terrorist plot to bankrupt the nation (currently only available in full-frame Region 2 PAL in German) The Squeeze (1987)
Poker player unable to bluff convincingly ("Did my eye twitch?") stumbles upon plot to rig the lottery when his ex-wife wins playing their divorce date Terminal Entry (1986)
Teenage kids stumble onto a network used by terrorists and think it is a game (3 years after WarGames (1983))
And yes, I realize that most of these are considered crap and not considered popular enough to warrant a pressing.
Yet still I can't bring myself to buy Tank (1984), Iceman (1984), or Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) due to them not being widescreen. Perhaps they think the latter two are too wide for DVD, unable to keep enough vertical resolution even as an anamorphic DVD (can I hope for a Blu-Ray release?), but they released Tank (1984) twice at 1.33:1 (4:3) when the movie is 1.85:1 (16.65:9). an almost perfect fit.
I'm not running Firefox 3 at work because setting the environment variable MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO to 1 appears to have no effect on my "error while loading shared libraries: libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" and I lack the permissions to install the necessary RPM (Redhat 9).

Someone has been watching the movie Prime Risk (currently available only as a German-only Region 2 PAL full-screen DVD).
Cop: You know, you shouldn't write your pin number on the back of your card like this. If you lose it and someone finds it they can rob you blind.
Julie: I thought you said you knew how to fly! Michael: I do know how to fly! [pause] Michael: It's just landing I've never done before. Julie: Oh, shit.

Sweden has one of the best networking, if not best, in the world.
All the better to net-tap you, my dear.
Reasonable limits aren't.

Meet the web server you won't use in 2008.
Indeed, the whole site appears to be 403 Forbidden now. It looks like freehostia.com has yanked it for being too popular.
Just wait 'til they come up with something like GNW's Not WINE.

There's a word for that, just on the tip of my mind, meaning happy accident... ah yes: schadenfreude.

But it'd be incredibly difficult to get wires under the ground w/all these trees. And it'd cost money too
Have you considered putting them at ground level, perhaps encased in a pipeline? It seems to work for oil and for cabling across the ocean floor.

Just noting....
Negative. Linux can do this in practice.
How about a Mac Pro? It already has the two Gigabit Ethernet ports.
That hasn't been true for +/- a decade.
Are you saying it will be true again in 2018?

I wonder when they're going to open up the registry for it and where to go, 'cause there's going to be a big name-space rush to get prime speculative TLDs.
.invalid is reserved, so no bedridden.invalid domain.
They'll likely hold back .example as well, but I wonder if they can enforce there being no example.tld domains.
I thought I was clear that GIS == Google Image Search.
