True story:
My mum bought one of those bread maker machines. (Why?) You know the
kind - you dump some flour and water and stuff into it, press a button
like it's a washing machine, and a few hours later it has delicious
fresh bread inside it.
Except when my mum first tried to work it for herself, all it produced
was a blackened little biscuit at the bottom. She couldn't figure out
what on earth the problem could be. So I had to diagnose it. [Obviously
I'm good with computers, so I'd know all about baking bread. Wait... WTF??]
Anyway, I managed to chizel a few crumbs out of the bottom of this
machine and taste them. Have you ever tried eating salt grains? That is
exactly what this tasted like.
"Jesus women, how much salt did you put in this thing?!"
"Half a table spoon like it says."
"No no - half a *tea* spoon!!"
Lord above, half a tablespoon of salt in a lump of dough that fits in
one hand? No wonder it went wrong - the yeast is dead, and the machine
blindly baked the inrisen dough to a concrete lump!
Blithering idiot. Even *I* know the difference between a teaspoon and a
tablespoon - and I wasn't raised 50 years ago when such measures were
commonplace! o_O

On my laptop (vista) I go through the patches and updates that are available
and install the ones I think that I need.
If you have update set to automatically download an install, then you've
effectivly made your choice, otherwise, sure you do.

Dunno. On SQL Server, SP2 was the problematic one. Previous version of SQL,
it was sp3 that had 'issues'
I've heard that advice applied to application versions as well, just for odd
numbers

Because like in every modern machine there is a microprocessor inside.
Obviously there was a bug in the program.

It could be because America has 16 fluid ounces to a pint whereas in
the UK there are 20 fluid ounces to a pint.
