    Yes, it is a service pack by definition.

    Enjoy that new "fade-in highlight effect" on your Start menu, dude ...

    Though to be fair Tony's not the only one calling it a service pack. (and I edit to point out that I don't care either way, but that I had read the linked to article yesterday)

    The are isn't a very common unit with which area is measured.

    And that makes for a very strange sentence. So I can assume "area" is derived from "are" (or vice versa)

    The only that disappointed me was unlike last year the food was only overpriced as opposed to overpriced and varied as it was last year.

    I agree, the bratwursts were good, but not great. As I bought it a friend's father was in front of me and refused the tomato sauce saying "I know what goes into that". The attendant and I looked confused so I had to ask "like what?" "Loads of dead flies".

    I just had mustard on mine.

  • Hard News: Dead Elephant Frenzy,

    I removed voicemail from my phone service ages ago.

    Both my work and personal phone messages are: "I'm not here, don't leave a message, I won't check it. Text or email me instead for an immediate response"

    In the first week I got four messages, all of which said "What an odd message..." Since then it's died away

    And on the first page, someone asks for... an edit button! Heh.

    And the reply is that it's "in the works" :)

    why youse all hatin' on her?

    Because they spent a lot of money getting her to play in Auckland when they could've got someone really good (well maybe not really good but better than Kournikova).

    I suppose I should be a little bit nicer, she is often used as the example of non-success despite fame and there are much better examples.

    Oh, hang on. Kournikova won two doubles grand slams.

    I'm willing to bet that Martina Hingis won two doubles grand slams and Kournikova was also there

  • Field Theory: Testosterone and the…,

    "If your body is fueled by testosterone from an early age, you're going to develop a skeleton and a muscle mass and a type of muscle that is different from that of a normal woman -..."

    Like the IAAF rules state:

    5. Reconstructive surgery and sex reassignment

    * if sex change operations as well as appropriate hormone replacement therapy are performed before puberty then the athlete is allowed to compete as a female
    * if the sex change and hormone therapy is done after puberty then the athlete has to wait two years after gonadectomy before a physical and endocrinological evaluation is conducted

    (The crux of the matter is that the athlete should not be enjoying the benefits of natural testosterone predominance normally seen in a male)
