Unfortunately, in my opinion, that makes sense.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I am oddly reminded of STNG and Data trying to tell a joke:
"A man goes to a store to buy some kidneys. He says to the shopkeeper, "I'd like a pound of kiddillies, please." The shopkeeper says to him, "You mean kidneys, don't you?" The man says, "I said kiddillies, diddle I?"

It irks me too, but I generally ignore it. I have no issue with marketers calling a 1MB capacity 1.2MB to make it seem larger than it really is, that really doesn't matter and they've been doing that since computers became consumer commodities (and megabytes became affordable by the Great Unwashed Public), but there is just no need for some stupid new term, and if they want a new term then they should apply it to their meaning, not the existing one.

800 years since Magna Carta which embodied British Law and moved us away from the French Code.
600 Years since Agincourt where 5000 English Soldiers defeated the 36,000 soldier of France.
200 Years since Waterloo where our great commander The Duke of Wellington kicked Napolean's arse.
70 Years since VE Day when we won the war and Saved France's arse.
50 Years since Winston Churchill died, the man that stood up to the Hun and in the course of doing so embarrassed the French and sunk their entire navy.
Apparently Paris is doing very little by way of celebrating these momentous occasions.

Rubbish. The Brits got kicked out of USA because of assistance from the French, just to mention one.

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

I made a few abortive attempts at a Paris Hilton joke, but my head is thick with cold, none of them were working, and I cannot be bothered now.

He actually meant Paris Hilton, not the town.
