I don't care where on the African continent Nigeria is, because it's trivial knowledge that does me no good.
That's pretty much the attitude I'm talking about right there. Nigeria has a population of 150 million people (in the top 10) and because the only thing you learned in geography class was where Colorado and Vermont are on the map, it doesn't matter to you.
Still, you missed the point of my post. The "ignorant American" jibe wasn't just for the lack of geography knowledge, but for the idea that Africa is filled with lions, tigers, bears and 419 scammers.
The difference is, I know there are well-informed Americans as well as ignorant ones, but I'm not going to lump all of them together, even though the subtleties of my post were lost on you.
Quick geography lesson: in that "country" called Africa (where all the lions, tigers and bears live), there is this place called Nigeria, which happens to be on the left side of the map - that means West Africa, not East.
Way to sum up an entire continent of a billion people.
Whle we're indulging in stereotypes, fuck you... you ignorant American tool.
How about fixing acroread too? This problem of 100% CPU usage has been around since Reader 8.1.1 and even presented in 7. One minor release later and no fix in sight. At least the public have come up with a workaround.
He's probably going to make a lot more from his 15 minutes of fame. Maybe even a bargain bin book?
I kid, but maybe Fossett's widow will give him some sort of reward?
Surely if we chose our number system from the number of fingers we have, we would use base 11?
Including "no fingers up" (or zero) we have 11 unique numbers, which would mean base 11.

Microsoft was right! Open source is a security risk!
Sure. It's just more easily found out in open source.
Fortunately, you can't afford enough blow on an engineers salary for nuclear plants to end up like our banks.

Nor are there bears. As an African, I'm quite aware of this. I was alluding to a Wizard of Oz quote and was just being facetious.

Double click Turn off Autoplay policy
Enable the policy
Change setting to 'All drives'
And no, being terminally seek doesn't give you free way to break the law.
What about if you're terminally Sikh?

Or just use the year!
You could release version 2009 today! Let's just hope none of the competitors get their version 2010 out any time soon.
