That OS hits end of life (no more security patches) April 2014; and new developer tools are only usable on Win7 or later, even if they can target earlier OS versions -- that's why I did a full hardware refresh this summer.

Exactly -- "challenged" and "special" get used by schoolkids these days where "cripple" or "spastic" were used in my time.

"Special" already became an insult when I was in grade school.

Somehow, i can't avoid finding that as an improvement in insults. Also, at least i still have around 2 years left with my XP. Not sure if i will update to another windows though, 7 was pretty good but somehow i didn't like it completely. Still, it's a good option.

If I was a raving Asuka fan, I would be calling hax on that Rei chart.... But indeed, it is to be expected of the blue-haired wonder. Here's one for Kaworu.

I was about to call hax until I saw that; think maybe Shinji got the best deal of the lot there.

People's deaths are to be mourned. The ability to save people should be celebrated. Life itself should be exalted. -- Volken Macmani, Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra
I hate myself. But maybe I can learn to love myself. Maybe it's okay for me to be here! That's right! I'm me, nothing more, nothing less! I'm me. I want to be me! I want to be here! And it's okay for me to be here! -- Shinji Ikari, Neon Genesis Evangelion
Yes, I know. You thought it would be something about Asuka. You're such idiots.

In all likelihood he won't go to jail at all. The sentence is already reduced by one year, and he still has to appeal.

I was thinking he would get a house arrest at some luxury estate.
