Having spent some time in rural Northern Germany, I believe Neanderthals are still alive.

That explains the crap UI. For Win 9 they should try working with their heads instead of their asses.

I have long admired the Brit beer louts for getting their system of measurements changed to Imperial to enlarge their beer pints.

No, we here in the Colonies aren't using the Imperial system. The Imperial system was standardized in the early 19th century. We aren't that up to date. We use a variation of the British system that preceded the Imperial system. For instance, the Imperial system uses a gallon that was defined in 1824, while the US gallon is the Queen Anne's Wine Gallon of 1707.

Unless the robber is after guns.

Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how was the play?

Some people will need to see mass starvation from massive failures of overspecialized crops before they realize there is a problem. Just as some people won't believe there is global warming problem until the Washington DC K Street lobbyists offices get flooded and they tell their bought and paid for politicians that it's real.

That is an extremely self centered, selfish view of the world.

Overpopulation is a problem that is getting worse, the selfish ones are the ones that have lots of children.

I would rather pay $50 every other year and skip the bad releases.

In a Corporatocricy such as the US, committing a crime against a corporation is like committing a crime against the King in a monarchy. We are just seeing the start of this. In the eyes of our corporate overlords and their bought and paid for legislators and judges, this was a fitting punishment.

It has always been that way, it's just that it's getting a lot more blatant lately.

I don't find it hard to believe at all.

When I hear crap like that I am reminded that "If fleas could talk, they would tell you how they benefit dogs."

Like most Apple iproducts the ibox it came in looks OK. When are they going to take the iyacht out of the box?
