In the UK, the Queen still sends people telegrams on their 100th birthday.

Actually you would have to extend the MP3 spec first. The highest sampling frequency it supports is 48kHz.

And even then, they're not always accurate. I'm listed in the developer credits for 6 minigames on a certain portal; for five of them, I was the sole developer, but in the 6th my contribution was a day or two integrating the final graphics.

It hasn't finished going through the Commons yet. That was only second reading.

You're making the mistake of taking the summary at face value. If you follow the link, the actual motion was "I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time." It's rare for anything not to get a second reading: it's only the second stage of 11 (not counting royal assent).
