Yeah, just like with computer and modeling languages. Computer science hasn't actually changed in the last 20 years, it is just the nomenclature that keep changing.
Well, since research showed that 92% of Americans are religious, that confirms the gullibility part of the article, but Cellcos are not against Wifi. WiFi is a short range, spotty coverage service - Cellcos provide full coverage long range service. WiFi is no threat to them.
No amount of Sunday school could corrupt me. I was even confirmed in the Dutch Reformed Church - I still played along at that point, but once they wanted to draft me into the church as a Daeken, I balked and moved to another town. For a decade or so after that I was still careful about expressing my views, then I called myself an agnostic, but since I have gained some grey hair, I state openly that I am atheist and don't believe in ghosts...
Well, most people eventually mature and don't need religion anymore. Some however, like domesticated animals, never mature and always need to blame others/deities for whatever goes wrong in their lives.
You can take the US statistics and turn it all around: Only 3 out of 10 Canadians are religious. Therefore the 40th parallel must be a religious inversion layer.

The states can tell the Feds that they will collect all taxes themselves and then go slow on handing it over to the Feds - Two years later: Yeah, yeah, cool down, the cheque is in the mail...
That is what Alberta threatened to do a few years ago during a Federal spat and the Canadian government backtracked very quickly. Of course it helps that Alberta is just about the only province that actually pays anything.
Another Alberta trick is to threaten to replace the RCMP with a provincial police force, which will throw thousands of Mounties out of work. Any state with a semi-intelligent governor can do things like this to force the Fed's hand. The Washington burocrats only have as much power as the states allow them to have.
The scanner is only as good as its update system. I use ClamAV - a fast update response, means a small window of vulnerability. Also, most importantly, ClamAV doesn't fsck up your system. It just works.
An outdated, fscked up Norton doesn't provide any protection...
I've been using ClamAV for 4 years on a busy mail server and no virus got through it in this time. So, these guy's tests are rather suspect in my book.
The whole calculated MTBF thing is a sham. It is based on figures compiled by large telcos 20 or 30 years ago. The result of a calculated MTBF bears zero relationship to reality and the university is calling the bluff of the manufacturers.
The only use of a calculated MTBF, is to call attention to potentially stressed components during the design cycle, but even that is dubious. The actual figures are totally meaningless actually and is really just a number, where greater numbers usually means better, but not necessarily.
Hmm, the good news is that Quicken and older versions of Quickbooks, work perfectly well on CxOffice on Linux. I was the first person to get Quickbooks to run on Wine, way back in 2002. It is now 5 years later and getting better all the time.

New species heh? So I take it that the tales of the dinosaur extinction were much over hyped?
A gash? Well, now really, can't they afford the old girl some privacy?

Well, the good news is that you are on the right track. Give it another 10 years or so, and you will have matured into a true atheist. :)
Only one third are atheist? Amazing. I always expected Germans to be more enlightened than that.

are very small. That is why miniature helicopters suddenly became popular. Certainly not 10cm on a side anymore.

Yup, use ClamWin - it costs nothing and it works the way it should: http://www.clamwin.com/
So, you are roughly $100 out of pocket and you still haven't discovered ClamWin: http://www.clamwin.com/
