Seriously. To do any serious task requires state, and the problem with a minimal shell is that it can't remember much. The major scripting languages where all written to solve this problem, as well as integrate with embedded code in C. I'm a fan of Tcl myself, but virtually any scripting engine would be an improvement to a network enabled Pseudo-BASH with a whitespace delimited language.

Really? People are getting all worked up over paragraph formatting when there's an emergency going on?

Still better than JonKatz. At least there are SOME facts here (the beta driver doesn't list XP as supported), instead of an axe-grinding opinion piece about how some sicko's psychopathic acts are understandable because he is really a victim of the bugbear du jour.

Based on several movie clips I ran across on the Internet, there's a probably a big market in Germany for disposal of the used devices.

Windows Vista was the set-up to make Windows 7 look good. Now, they are switching things up so that there is no obvious continuation of the "Bad Word Version saved by Good Numbered Version" pattern followed by ME/2000, Vista/7.

Windows 8 is clearly lowering the bar and defecating on the playing field to make sure that Windows Chasm is a savior-success story.

There are people out the smoking cigarettes, for crying out loud. Not to mention saving injured woodpeckers and selling fresh milk.

Seems like there are more important things for the government to be doing rather than changing speed limit signs.

Something Austin Powers wouldn't go near or attempt to save, I expect.

"Shit happened, how can I exploit it to force other people to stop doing things I dislike?" would be closer.

The ghouls of all stripes are dancing in the blood of these children to push their own personal political agendas, whether it is banning video games, goths, guns or "loners".
