If the ranking mechanism FB used was any good, I wouldn't have installed FB Purity to override it...

I get sick of the permanent BST brigade here in the UK... if they want to live on European time, they should bleeping well move to Europe!
My second biggest annoyance with the keyboard this...

My job (partly) involves testing mobile apps - so I have to go through the registration process a lot... utter pain in the proverbials...

We have the boats... just not the planes (I assume the recent grounding will put back delivery another year or two)

Read this part again: "For commercial-level code... fair enough" - I agree with you entirely on that score.
I wasn't talking about that though - the whole point of demos WAS to use as many tricks as possible, to show off to your mates (and the wider world) for a few weeks, until the next bare-metal coder found a way to do something that blew yours away... If it ran on one specific variant only - so be it.
Actually, timing-dependent code is a gross violation of Commodore's published Amiga programming standards.

So if I were to gun down the entire US population - just to make defend myself from the possibility of being shot next time I'm there - is that OK?

There's an episode of Top Gear where Clarkson drove Hammond's vehicle away while it was parked, and the key was in Hammond's pocket (he was inside a diner at the time as I recall). The car got 100 feet or so before the system realised that the key was no longer nearby and shut off the engine.
If that's typical then the potential for theft is huge - by simply driving the car onto a tow truck before the system locks it down.
