I've been on each 787 model once (787-8 ANA TSA-HND, 787-9 ANZ SYD-AKL); my first 787 long-haul is next month (UAL SFO-TPE)

Two rounds is a pretty broken system too. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French… . Should have Prime Minister as head of gov't.

People thinking that Bush and Gore were equally bad, and voting for Nader, was how we ended up with Bush as president.

Reminds me of bugzil.la/391321 . But I thought the Windows stack walking API required using SuspendThread?
