Open office won't work without Java. Maybe some day I'll be convinced that they have their stuff together again and I'll reinstall it.

I think the person that started this should be called what they were, a government censor and the Chinese government should realize corruption is an inevitable result of censorship.
 

Faux news. Easy spelling mistake to make.

Better than that is the system that was present in Louisville KY back in the 70s and 80s that if you stuck to a speed, clearly marked on major streets you could proceed at 30, 40, or 45 mph without being stopped by a traffic light. If you went too fast or too slow you would get stopped. If you went the correct, also legal, speed you could usually go 20 to 30 blocks without being stopped by a light.

This can be a symptom of some eye conditions. Seriously get yourself to a good Ophthalmologist, someone that knows eye conditions, not just someone that sells eye glasses.
Personally I just had a cornea transplant and I can see much better.

Nope I'm saying that you saw a cop car coming down the street and decided not to swing.
For whatever reason none of the predictions of the world ending have ever come true.

Well it hasn't happened yet and that would tend to make people think that all of the idiots yelling "THE END IS COMING!!! "THE END IS COMING!!! "THE END IS COMING!!! "THE END IS COMING!!! have, so far by the available evidence been wrong.

I guess that I am looking at this from the lens of someone that has been seeing predictions of "THE END OF THE WORLD" since the 60s. That was when I first saw a preacher toss a piece of sodium into a decanter of water and declare that this was what was going to happen to the world. He was wrong and not very bright for carrying around metallic sodium too.
  Various and numerous other writers, preachers, scientists, historians and hysterics have since then claimed that something or the other was going to end the world as we know it. They were all wrong.
I've seen scientists declare that oil burning was going to cause an ice age, ending mankind by burying it in ice and other predictions, in some cases the same scientists saying that oil burning was going to end mankind by temperature rising and it may still. We still don't know enough to make climate predictions with any real success.
I'm just tired of people trying to get attention for themselves and whatever they want publicity for by claiming "THE END IS NEAR."

Darn, there's no +1 agree.

I don't think I said that the world was NOT going to end.
What I said was that all of the predictions of the end have been wrong. A very long and consistent record of failure. It is almost always "stupid", your word, not mine, to attribute words not said to someone else.

If a turkey makes it to Thanksgiving it will get served on Christmas, not Thanksgiving.

I guess the point is that they have all been wrong but people keep making them. They never seem to learn about predictions not working.

I've been seeing reports of this so called clock for a long time and I can't help pointing out that so far, for thousands of years, every single prediction of the end of the world and humanity has been wrong.

Farewell Dell. I feel sorry for any employees with retirement there.

Big rigs are what damage the roads. If they pay for the damage they do it gets spread around to all of us and doesn't penalize all of us who try to drive efficient cars.
