"Funded a dozen urban farms" "Funding up to 50,000" 50,000*12=600,000 Not millions. Then it goes on to say it's specifically geared to urban farms and has put out 23,000 loans worth $518 million. If it's only given loans to 12 urban farms out of a total of 23,000 I wouldn't say it's geared to urban farms, nor does that $518 million number have anything to do with urban farms...

Have never read a single one of the comics, nor even read many comics in general, and I thought the movie was F#$%^^& awesome. Rorschach's lines felt kinda forced into the movie for the first 1/3 is the only complaint I can think of, but it didn't hurt the movie. Also although they do have sex scenes galore it felt like they belonged in the movie unlike most movies nowadays where they just suddenly go off plot for a gratuitous sex scene to help the movie sell. Although Dr. Manhattan didn't need to be showing off quite so much. [I saw it in the morning so I wouldn't have to deal with crowds, my work hours are flexible]

And as you install Windows XP you have the very same problem, and realize that activation is not something new, takes about 10 mins, and is not a big deal. In my computer repair job I was reinstalling XP on the exact same computer with no hardware changes and had to activate 90% of the time, but considering the amount of pirating out there I don't see a reason to blame them for making an attempt, though it fails horribly at stopping pirating. "(from memory)" I'm quite amazed if you recited the code from memory, but most users look at their screen and read it off from there.
