I'm somewhere in the middle on this.

Yes, AC, that's _exactly_ what you would do. This is in beta, where you choose a prime sub-section of your market to run tests with. That is literally part of the definition of beta testing.

With Windows running only 27% of the Internet's web servers*, calling it "severely limit[ing]" is more than a little hyperbolic.

Read your post and this really encapsulated it all:
"THIS IS NOT HOW YOU UNIX"
Well said.

I had a bowl of Insensitive Clods this morning.

Not to mention that they allege this was the case six months ago. Curious--albeit not enough to RTFA--as to why they sat on such a golden nugget of PR for so long. My inner cynic is tempted to envision this:

Hrm... Okay, next security vulnerability. This one was submitted 2011/09/29.
(several minutes of analysis pass)
Hey! We fixed this one already. Hey boss! Come here! I GOT ONE!!!

actually... being nerds, we avoid the clap without all that much effort.

Fergie has had an artificial windpipe for years...

that reminds me. tell your mom to also quit emailing *me*

Causal Reductionism
Affirming The Consequent
Argument From Complexity
Argument By Prestigious Jargon
Argument From Outdated Information
Argument From Personal Astonishment

Take your pick... as we fall prey to Argument From Authority because it's Penrose, a man who knows mathematical physics but not necessarily neuroscience, making the argument.

For me, neither a physicist nor a neuroscientist, complex adaptive systems theories seem more than adequate to explain us without having to invoke spooky physics. Each little addition to our overall intelligence creates a more and more complex system that develops and adapts and, as in our case, might eventually begin to notice itself and have its thoughts (which we just call 'cognition' in animals) then turn to considering itself. Ergo... consciousness. Penrose seems to need a still more 'mystical' answer (and not just on this subject...) and, without quite going so far as to invoke a deity, chooses the most mysterious and currently least-understood science to hang his god hat on.

You've also been exposed to the sun for decades, but [presumably] don't have skin cancer.

Horowitz is working on the new revision as we speak. Should be out fairly soon (and possibly will be cheaper). I've seen some of it. It'll be well worth the wait.

I should note that I will soon remove the link containing copyrighted material. If you don't own the CD (Eric Johnson's Ah Via Musicom), buy it. The sound/production is decidedly late 80s/early 90s, but it is a must for every guitarist's collection.

Next time don't post this anonomous. Good job.
