UK Government Reports Linux is 'Viable'

CProgrammer98 writes "The Beeb is reporting that The UK Office of Government Commerce has published their final results following trials on the use of OSS and especially Linux and they conclude that Linux is a viable option for government use. From their summary: 'The report shows that Open Source software is rapidly maturing, offers significant potential benefits to government and should be actively considered alongside proprietary alternatives. It concludes that decisions should be based on a holistic assessment of future needs, taking into account total cost of ownership, with proper consideration of both proprietary and open source solutions.'"

Why do het men seem to like lesbians and not like gay men?

Being heterosexual, they're not going to like looking at gay men, are they? To a heterosexual man, 1 woman is good, 2 women is better.

And while I'm on the subject, why do women seem to think they are more likely to be raped by a man than a lesbian?

Maybe because a) there are more men that lesbians, and b) a man has a penis, which is pretty much required for raping someone.
