I do all of my word processing in OpenOffice, and only check the output in Word for compatibility with the rest of my lab. Oo.o has many of the strengths that you say are only found in Word...
It has the best/most complete offering for tables
I've made plenty of complex tables in Oo.o. The only problem I've found is that when a file is saved as a.doc and opened in Word, tables look horrendous. That's why I always save as.odt and use the ODT plugin for Word.
little things like line and paragraph numbering in the margin (you don't think about that until you need it--and only Word has it, as far as I know)
In Oo.o Writer, line numbers are as simple as Tools->Line Numbers. I've not needed paragraph numbering, but I'm sure it's possible...
Oh, and don't forget total control of keyboard shortcuts.
Tools->Customize->Keyboard. Customize to your heart's content...
As a scientest, I can assure you that science departments use mostly linux.
What type of science department are you talking about? What is your sample size? I'm also a scientist, and I can assure you that this is not the case, especially once you get out of the computer sciences and/or physics departments. Go into one of the life or other physical science departments (biology, chemistry, environmental sciences, geology), and you will likely find Windows as far as the eye can see, with the occasional Mac thrown in for good measure. I'm in my third biology department, and I'm the only person that I've known that uses Linux.
I'd like to see this guy to a BJ's or Costco in the US and try to walk past the person checking receipts, which is standard at those stores.
At warehouse stores you pay a membership fee and sign a contract in order to shop there. Part of that contract is that you agree to show your receipt. This is much different that BB/CC/any store without a membership fee and no up-front contract.
So why do no animals have radios? Not even primitive ones.
Both gymnotiformes (South American knifefishes) and mormyrids (African elephantfishes) produce electric fields that are used for electrolocation and electrocommunication. It's not as powerful as radio waves, but they still are generating and manipulating electric fields for communication.
Because Ubuntu is snapshot of unstable, isn't a LTS version somekind "snapshot" from the "Stable"?
Nope...it just means that they will support it longer (security updates for 3 years for desktop, 5 years for server) than the regular releases (18 months for server and desktop). Hence the Long Term Support moniker.

These pictures indicate that the architects have little to no idea of how top soil and nutrient cycles work.
And apparantly, neither does commercial agriculture if you look at the erosional rate of topsoil for most forms of tillage.
Mr. Flibble doesn't like it when you stop watching...
Do we really need to conserve a species that can kill us
From TFS
one of only two countries where this nocturnal, insect-eating animal (Solenodon paradoxus) can be found
Unless you're a large beetle, I don't think you have much to worry about...
and obviously isn't needed in the food chain
but with that attitude, maybe I spoke too soon....
How about an MLT, where the mutton is nice and lean....

I'm not supposed to get release-critical bugs in it!
Here you go.
Here's one: President of the USA.

You mean like Jamendo?

Seriously...won't someone think of the speeding tickets?!?!
No...in fact, the last data transmission received by the ESA ended with, "I think I'll go for a walk!"
irony?
Fuck everything, we're doing five blades.
