    Quite. The "differing widely" bit should be unconstitutional much as the passing of vague laws are (theoretically).

    No / Yes / Maybe, but I've always found that ingesting enough cannibals improves my dsylexia and road awareness.

    So I get free online support for Vista SP1 then I still have to shell out for the bsod.dll module?

    It's OK. There'll be a sticker over the join saying "If you break this seal to lick internal terminals your warranty will be voided". That should keep the Iranians out.

    So "Open Source" / Bruce et al. are the front-end and "Free Software" / Richard et al. are the back-end in "our" business "presentations". No big deal here.

    I did. Apparently if a Ballmer is fired from a chimps' tea party chair at between 24 and 36 mph at 55 degrees it can clear a 33 foot moat and a 12.5 foot high fence and still kill one googler on impact ... before being shot-gunned.

  22. Re:Welcome on UK High Court Allows Software Patent Claims · · Score: 4, Funny

    It brings the UK back in line with the rest of Europe; for a while, we were the only place disallowing any form of software patent. "At least you can count on my support and that of the other millions of Daily Mail / Torygraph readers after they've finished choking on their dentures then. They won't be able to understand what a software patent is anymore than I do but "thought taxes" as you call them sound dreadful. No matter - anything that the EU is "forcing" on This England, *especially* if the Yanks are colluding with the French over it is as obviously un-British as ... and must be stopped on the beaches at all cost ... send for the Women's Institute ... Battle of Britain ... during the war ... " - continued on page 197 ...
