This article (free, not like $trait$ Time$) reports on the call for Solitaire to be removed from North Carolina's offices PCs. The crux of this debate is whether non-work relating computing should be allowed in a firm.

It's my guess that Singapore will be facing such problems in the years to come. Personally, Solitaire doesn't hold my attention for long. Not when there's this and other small, responsive emulators that can be hidden away within a matter of split seconds (alt-tab!). Solitaire is so outdated.

In related news, this new relevation from UK has pretty much doomed my aspirations to ubergeekdom, as it appears I have stunted levels of literacy and math. It's Solitaire I tell you. There's a conspiracy to lower the IQ of all PC users, school kids included, so Microsoft can take over the world.
