      Vicky and myself have said this before, but I'll say it again. For the top
      man in the Church of England, the current <a
      href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archbishops_of_Canterbury">Archbishop
      of Canterbury</a> Rowan Williams is surprisingly moderate, progressive and
      possibly even cool (via <a
      href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/religion/Story/0,,1735730,00.html">The
      Guardian</a>):
    </p>
    <blockquote>
      <p>
        The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has stepped into the
        controversy between religious fundamentalists and scientists by saying
        that he does not believe that creationism - the Bible-based account of the
        origins of the world - should be taught in schools.
      </p>
      <p>&hellip;</p>
      <p>
        Dr Williams spoke of his determination to hold the third-largest
        Christian denomination together in its row over the place of gay
        clergy. He was also highly critical of parts of the church in Africa and
        said he did not wish to be seen as "comic vicar to the nation", speaking
        out on issues where he can make no difference.
      </p>

      Recently I had to reboot my laptop into Windows so that Vicky could use
      iTunes.  After a few minutes, this little dialog popped up.
    </p>

    </p>
    <p>
      Some automatic updates had been downloaded once I'd logged in, and I now
      <strong>had</strong> to restart.  The day before I had a similar dialog
      which had disabled the <cite>Restart Later</cite> but didn't have a
      countdown, so I moved the dialog to the side and carried on (luckily it
      wasn't system modal).  However a five minute timer is just amazingly bad:
      did installing the security fix break the system so much that it has to be
      rebooted now, and applications will start to crash and die shortly?
