This should halt all other questions regarding when the patch will be released and stop al commentary about how upset individuals are about the delay. Please feel free to sticky this as it is scientific-programatic proof of when the 1.4 patch will be released and how the community will respond to it:

Using the above calculations the following proofs are obtained:
Regardless of when the patch is released, people will remain upset both before and after the release.
We will not know, until EA makes the official announcement on their primary site, not the UK, Spain, Phillipines, Korean, Japan, or any other country's EA site, when the patch is going to be release.
Please refrain from posting more "When is the patch coming?" or the classic, albeit old, "I heard from a guy at the Gas Station that his brother's former Yale classmate heard from Josh, the guy who once knew the lead packager at EA's shipping department the release date is tomorrow" thread. These are simply....
Thanks for your time and consideration.

It's true though that people will still whine about 1.4 even if it is totally amazing [assuming it even is released!]
