speed of everything is limited by c as per Special Relativity
Huh. I read that theory. Didn't seem that "Special" to me.
Also isn't it time the universe upgraded to c++, given that c is so limited?
So would JPL pioneer Jack Parsons (It is occasionally joked that JPL stands for "Jack Parsons Lives"). Parsons was a devotee of Aleister Crowley, lead the Californian branch of the Ordo Templi Orientis, openly practiced occultism, and prayed to Pan before each rocket launch.
He won prizes at school for his maths prowess, and went to university on a scholarship. He lost the scholarhip due to his obsessive inability to do other aspects of the curiculum that were not maths related, or which were offensive to his Brahman beliefs. There was never any doubt that he was mathematically gifted, and his mother promoted him intensively.
There seems to be a myth that he was an illiterate peasant who happened to stumble on a maths book came from, but I don't know where it came from.
I agree I've never had any trouble getting an activation key out of MS. What has bugged me, though, is that more often than not, I've had to go through this procedure after a simple re-install, when I haven't made any changes to my PC whatsoever. I was under the impression that re-activation was only not automatic when you had made a major hardware change.

Because Phillip Adams is a highly public figure in Australia, who is hardly likely to be knowingly involved in a "scam". Nor would he need to be.
That is not to say that he cannot be foolish or mislead, or taken in by bad physics, or the victim of a scam himself.
Oops, you're right - it's Kellogs. I was confusing it with another court case involving Sanitarium here (Australia).
However, there is a reason for my confusion - John and Will Kellog founded the Battle Creek Sanitarium - that's where the rival food company gets its name from, and why Kellogs and Sanitarium tend to get linked in my memory. And hopefully that answers your question.
By the way, it isn't "Fruity Loops" anymore - it's "FL Studio", and has been for a number of years. Sanitarium objected to the original name.
The software designers thought it was unlikely that anyone would confuse their sequencing software with a breakfast cereal, but apparently Sanitarium had in mind a situation in which they might want to give away CDs with cereal.
Also, they discovered that IT executives tended to fall about laughing when they told them the name of the software.
How can you tell, since the differences between Middle and Modern English are largely a matter of pronunciation? Just try reading it in a 14th century accent.
I think we should adopt a general rule that any linguistic misconception, no matter how grating to those who know its correct usage, no matter how much its misuse is the result of pseudo-intellectual pretension, becomes correct when enough people go along with it like the mindless lemmings they are. That way, the more education standards decline, the more educated people will be.
We did it before (with the meaning of "paradigm" and the plural form of "octopus"), we'll do it again.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
I've found out where all my black ballpoints have gone to.
It's a space station ...
That would explain why you can't order a Quarter Pounder with Cheese there.
But just imagine how funny it would be if it were narrated by Pete Smith.
Just as long as it's one of the Elder Gods of H. P. Lovecraft.
That's rubbish. It might be a good way, but no way is it a great way.

To lose the intergalactic mass once might be considered a misfortune. To lose it twice begins to look like carelessness.
Personally, I just want to know who this Scott guy is, and how he keeps getting away with stuff.
Have you seen the standard of our freedoms lately?

I assume this isn't the "Plan 9" that involves the conquest of the Earth by reanimating the dead.
In fact, I think we should be pro-active about it.
I propose that from now on, "paradoxically" means "juggling my Aunt Edna's collection of jelly molds". It's up to you to get out there and make it so.
As Humpty Dumpty said regarding the meaning of words, "the question is, who's boss?"
