Considering there hasn't been a release since 2006 or a commit since 2009 I'd say no, they don't really.

I'm afraid we're fresh out of sharks, but perhaps I could interest you in an ill-tempered sea bass?
Oh so that's what "final" means. They're switching to the Final Fantasy versioning scheme.
Where's an illiterate when you need one?!
Fret not! I found one for you:
python's in particular
That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!
Oh come now. That could be anybody. I mean there must be any number of people who look like the lovechild of Dr. Evil and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
Lest anyone think he is kidding, let's have a look at the permissions for each app.
Obama for America
RECEIVE DATA FROM INTERNET
Allows apps to accept cloud to device messages sent by the app's service. Using this service will incur data usage. Malicious apps could cause excess data usage.
That's money out of your pocket my friends. Typical Democrat.
Romney-Ryan
CONTROL VIBRATOR
Allows the app to control the vibrator.
So it should be obvious that the Register has good reason to be up in arms.
Then we'll be right back where we started! Let's instead genetically engineer them to eat grizzlies and the problem will take care of itself the first time they try it.
Well, it's coming out at the end of September, so play that during November and pick the other two up for like a dollar during the Christmas sale in December. Take it from me: if you time things right you can afford all sorts of games that you'll never have time to actually play.
And there you have it folks. The reason that the Linux desktop has never taken off in just eight condescending little words.
I'm sure the comment I replied to was meant as a joke, but it's important to keep in mind that female circumcision does in fact exist. I'm not sure where you got the idea that I consider it to be the same operation when there's really nothing in that article that even suggests it has valid medical applications. In fact the tiny excerpt you quoted is probably the least ghastly description of the practice—the article frankly just gets more and more horrifying the further you read.
The argument here is that male circumcision, while obviously not as invasive and not done for the same despicable reasons, also has no medical value. You might disagree with that (which would be a reasonable position to take, since the American Academy of Pediatrics obviously holds the same opinion), but that doesn't make the comparison invalid.
Female circumcision is unfortunately a real thing.
I've got a HL-4070CDW I got around the same time and I wholeheartedly second this endorsement. Brother just makes solid, no-bullshit printers. I stuck it on my network and haven't had to mess with it since. The toner cartridges are about $50 each, and each color is independently replaceable, as is the drum unit. I think I've replaced them two or maybe three times. The drivers (assuming the OS doesn't have one already—it speaks PostScript and PCL) are 3MB, and there's versions that go all the way back to Windows 2000 and Mac OS 10.2, plus 64-bit drivers for Windows XP and later. There's apparently even one for Android.
Its only Achilles heel is that the paper doesn't feed straight through, so it mangles the crap out of envelopes. I would assume they fixed that in later models, but if I were in the market for a printer today it's something I'd look out for.
I'd vote for him just to see what the talking heads would do when he delivers the State of the Union address and then the Vice President shows up to deliver the same address again two hours later.
...confirming that nearly half of the previous staff had been offered positions at the new company.
I guess that sounds better than "we fired more than half of our employees".
Which in turn sounds better than "we fucked over all of our employees."
With your bare hands?!?
