You bring up an interesting point about which I've always wondered; how is it legal for a company to change the ToS, and still claim that a customer "signed" it? Are all contracts "update-able" in the same manner? What language would I have to use when writing a contract to reflect that property?

IANAL, but I think the language would be something like "subject to change without notice" although I'm not really sure how that would hold up in court

In this case, it's probably going to be the tea-lady (who will have no idea as to what a database even is)

There, fixed that for you ;)

Sorry I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in...I can't find an article with the exact details, but I believe they paid off their debt in 2004. Here's an article about them paying off all their debt: http://macdailynews.com/index.php/weblog/comments/2622/

Submission + - Philosophies and programming languages (blogspot.com)

evariste.galois writes: In Wikipedia, in every article for a programming language, there is a special section "Language Philosophy", in which the motivation and the basic principles of the language design are being analyzed. The author is investigating much further than that, the deeper connections between philosophies and programming languages, by considering most influential thinkers of all time (e.g. Plato, Descartes, Kant) and trying to figure out which programming language fits best with most aspects of their own philosophy (Did you know that Kant was the first Python programmer?). The list is not exhaustive, but this is a funny and educative start.
