What about the really obnoxious APL? (Who names something "a programming language"...) I used it off and on at university in 1974-1976 for programming statistical analyses. I was happy to move on to stat analysis packages such as BMDP and SAS.

Speaking as a Californian, we are both a blue state (coastal areas from San Francisco south) and red state (everywhere else). Does this make us a purple state? And if we seceeded, we'd be the California Republic, which we were for 26 days in 1846. We already have that on our flag, so we wouldn't have to make new ones!

Yes, but I wasn't planning on buying a car anytime soon and then I went and had an accident which totaled my car (but not me!) But if you don't want to deal with Onstar, buy a car that isn't Onstar capable (e.g., Toyota or Nissan).
