Pretty idiotic way to write an editor, to be used for programming, isn't it.

Could it be because Microsoft has a 20-year history of lying
and committing fraud, black mail, extortion, and other criminal
behavior, and also reserves the right to edit *ANY* statement
made by the holder of a Microsoft End User License so that even
the most unfavorable (for Microsoft) statement can be reworded
by Microsoft's lawyers to present Microsoft's products as the
superior product....and if they can't figure out a way to do
it, then to legally PREVENT the EULA holder from publishing
the statement?
Naaaaaaah, couldn't be something so simple as that.

Bullshit, been outside America lately, our (NZ and AUS) plugs are like so:
/ \ / \
/ \ /
\
|

For plugs with the earth thingy. Plugs without earth
and yes, like America, the earth thingy is connected to a ground pole or
metal waterpipe.
and your phase "the US is the ONLY country that has properly designed
electrical
equipment" is very simplistic and "Claire Lynn" like to say the least.
Ever used a New Zealand made product? probably not! so don't make sweaping
statements without facts.

1970s NZ moved from imperial measurements, pounds and shillings, to Metric,
dollars and cents. imperial measurement is no-longer taught in schools, and
now we have a generation of metric aware students.

Country of origin is has nothing to do my comparision. The fact remains,
America ALWAYS has to be different. The latest NZ and Aussie vs. United
States at the WTO is a prime example of this arrogance. The US has chucked
a hissey fit because they can't put tarrifs on lamb inports...tough
luck...this is the free market...get used to it! You could use the example
of 10 years of US economies expansion, however, this has been mainly driven
by internel demand, now that there is an over supply internally, companies,
now have to export, but they can't because the value of the US dollar is too
high! hence, the reason for the economic slow down.

As far as I know, that's a myth.
They were looking at 60Hz as leading to leukemia for those who live
near high-tension lines, but the statistics didn't show any higher
incidence for those living under them than for those living far, far
away in low electric-field environments.
The danger of 240V vs 120V is that 240V can more easily "tunnel"
through the body's electrically insulating layer (i.e. the outer
layers of skin), enough to blast through a conductive pathway
with a low-enough resistance to reach the lethel current of 100mA
( 0.1 A)
Voltage (Volts) = Resistance (Ohms) x Current (Amps)
At 120V, 100ma corresponds to 1200 Ohms (1.2 kOhms)
At 240V, 100ma corresponds to 2400 Ohms (2.4 kOhms)
120V will usually only give you a nasty shock, unless you stick the
leads through dead, dry skin to get to the very electrically conductive
electrolytes that permeate your entire body.
But in some instances where a 120V line current will only give
you a shock, 240V has just enough more Electromotive force
to create a conductive pathway through the skin to reach the
lethal-to-cellular-tissue threshold of 0.1 Amp.
If the pathway between the two contact point happens to go
through your heart (say, holding one lead in one hand, and
the other lead in the other hand), you're at REALLY high risk
for the heart fibrillating, at nearly any frequency....even
if conductive tunnelling through the skin never occurs.
(For this reason, when working with live electrical wires
around the house, always make sure that you either:
(a)
1) use one hand ONLY or
2) wear heavy insulating gloves
and
(b) insulated shoes (new rubber-soled shoes are good,
but worn soles are bad)

did you ever watch "The Young Ones" episode in which they're
up late enough one night that the witness the BBC channel
going off the air for the night....and they're just sitting
their watching "the dot" in the center of the screen.
Eventually, Rick decides to go to bed, but Vivian says he's

Unix -> Minix (stripped down Unix for 80286) -> Linux
Linus's main reason for coming up with a successor for Minix was
because the 80286 didn't have a supervisor (kernel) mode like
