I am a parent and literally incapable of imagining the loss of my child. The thought is too painful for my mind to conjure. However, you should not assume that all parents care for their children. Look around and you will find plenty of examples of parents who could not care less about their kids. Regardless, remorse does not absolve either the step-father or the mother from responsibility for their negligent acts.

It should be noted that this is not some crazy technological feat. Internet Explorer is already uninstallable via the Control Panel in Windows 7. To comply with this all they have to do is not have it installed by default. I would imagine that they could even leave it in as an optional component to be installed later (like IIS or any other module). So all of you folks worrying about not having your massive Firefox download kit shouldn't.

Some others have also wondered how manual updates would be performed without Internet Explorer. Starting in Windows Vista this functionality was moved to a Control Panel applet. It was the same in Windows Server 2008 and is the same in Windows 7. So, no need for IE at all.

cheers, lost

While there are definitely a deluge of teens in WoW my experience during 2 years of play was that there were far more non-showering adults.

Mogwai has apparently been doing this since 1997.
