    Had you Conservative and/or Libertarian fuckwits not screamed OMGSOCIALISMOMGLENINOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG every five fucking seconds for the past three years, perhaps we'd have some of the fucking controls in place to prevent this shit from happening. Instead, your whining and bitching has resulted in exactly zero of the legislative fixes necessary to prevent insurance companies from dicking everyone over.

    I see... And requiring people by law to buy from these insurance companies, while making sure that the insurance companies and doctors lose money for every policy sold (all 6 of em so far!) so that eventually they have to go out of business, and the omnipotent and ever efficient government can then take over. Brilliant!

    What, dealing with legalized embezzlement by making the taxpayers pick up the bill is the wrong thing to do?

    On top of it all, it's the tea party's fault.

    Looking at the billboard picture, my eyes involutarily strayed upwards from the mac screen. And I saw the url. And I read "chica go the musical". And thought: "well, that English is a wtf as well"... patterns and the brain, always good for a strange moment or two :-)
    That's funny. Anybody can see it's meant to be read as "Chica got he, mus' I cal?"

    Replacing the law with a roll of toilet paper would be an improvement. If you had not failed the Turing Test you would admit this.

    The Congress you and your ilk elected had plenty of time to pass a law that wasn't effed up from the word go, a year after that to fix the law, and three more years' opportunity to cooperate with those who wanted to fix it.

    Instead, they ignored the protests, ignored the majority opposition to the law, accused all critics of racism and of wanting to throw grandma off of a cliff, and did not even bother to read the legislation (which of course proves that they will believe what other people say without any evidence to back it up). Since the law's passage they have reacted with knee-jerk, jackass stubbornness to any suggestion of fixing the law and have doubled down on the hallucinatory accusations leveled against the law's critics. The only leeway they have allowed is to grant waivers to cronies.

    Only in that malfunctioning lump between your ears are the ongoing problems with the law and its implementation the fault of anybody but the current administration and its supporters.

    TRWTF is that Youtube allows a maximum number of plays for a video. What the hell's the point of that?

    Ohhhhh, so you like how the big pharma / medical corporations can charge eye-watering markups on their services because they know the customer is over a barrel? You rednecks are hysterical!

    Oh God! Everyone is going to start using Mac for everything, aren't they.
    In defense: it's not OSX that crashed, but the application.
    In more defense: Neither the OS nor the application crashed. Someone tried to restart the computer. When MacOS X restarts the computer, it first asks all running applications to quit. The "Presentation Player" application refused to quit - probably because it is supposed to play some presentation forever. When that happens, the user will get this exact error message and can then choose to manually quit the application in order to restart.

    The real problem is most likely that someone tried to restart the computer when they shouldn't have done so.

    TRWTF is that restarting the computer doesn't work because shipping software can't perform simple tasks like "stop" and "start" reliably.

    "penrhyndeudraeth" != "penrhyndeudraeth " (notice the space before the full stop). Still, I suppose you would think google can handle whitespace

    Does Google Earth normally leave a suspicious looking blank space between the search term and period in the error message?

    Well, based on the look of that user interface I'd say the screenshot is from around 1997. We should be a little forgiving of an alpha version from 4 years before the first stable release.

    I would hope that the ability to search for a text string, in a manner that handles spurious whitespace and is case insensitive was built in to revision 0.0.0.0.0.1 ! (incidentally the spurious space is not in the original search term, and GE decapitalised it automatically)

    It was captured on Google Earth 5.0.11337.1968 (beta) running on Ubuntu 8.04.

    Chris.

    Bore-da.
