The important thing is that if OpenOffice goes belly-up, my documents are still perfectly accessible.
With MS Office, there is an incompatibility risk in merely updating to the latest version.
both parties are unethical, greedy weasels, and everyone knows it.
I doubt they themselves know it. And most of the rest of the country as well. Why else would they keep getting elected? (unless we have a HHGTTG presidency)
But what does it teach your child when you tell him that he's not allowed to even explore other beliefs and ways of looking at the world? In my view, it teaches him that you're not confident your beliefs will stand up to scrutiny, and it's going to encourage him to find out what you're trying to hide.
It seems to me not that the beliefs will fail to stand up to scrutiny, but rather that scrutiny will not take place. Parents fear that at that age their children will accept what the teacher says without comment.
Our probe farthest from earth(voyager 1) is a puny 14-15 lightours away from the sun. And it's been at it for 32 years. If my mathemagics are right that means those puny 4 lightyears will take roughly 75000 years to travel.
I doubt speed was high on the list of Voyager 1's priorities.
Secondly, exactly who is it who says (or can demonstrate) that cracking a Mac or Linux box is easier than a Windows box? My experience is exactly the opposite.
Cracking with a virus? Probably not very easy. However, I would imagine that it is much simpler to write a trojan script for *nix than for Windows (until PowerShell gains mindshare among Windows users). Education is the only defense against PEBKAC.
...or these clever new minds would be able to clearly evaluate which software is actually best, not merely which "is actually used", or which is already there, or which they are familiar with.
Excel databases, Screenshots in Word, GUIs on a server, IE for anything, Windows-based ATMs, emacs as a text editor...

Australia is predominantly female.
Obviously
Any Public Domain or CC links?
Cold? Yes.
If cold is a possibility, you don't have nearly enough servers.
Listen for werewolves.
It's an investment. Spending $100 now to save $10/year for the next 15 years means more money for the poor further down the road.
Perhaps the power plant is in the neighbouring country...
Fixed that for you.

? - Yet to see a _good_, visual, easy replacement for InDesign.
Scribus?
If you want support, you can get StarOffice for $80.

It's a good random number generator.

... unicode number for diameter.
Looks like an Asian language character to me.
What are my files doing on your PC!?!?
It's also the next unit up from "song" when referencing file sizes.
Next-Gen Nuclear Power Plant Breaks Ground In China
So... it was a surface detonation instead of a standard air detonation?

The ansible only provides faster than light communication.
True, but an AI on the ansible network can provide FTL travel.
No. It makes you Informative.
Obviously fake. A real Nigerian scam would have more capital letters and misspelled words.
A Secure OS For the Dalai Lama?
I have absolutely no idea what Slashdot will say to a question like that.

...they're training tens (hundreds?) of thousands of various kinds of soldiers each year, and they're aiming to train only 250 "cyberexperts"...
Everybody always points out that you need less *nix admins.
Imagine how hard it would have been if he had used lowercase letters!
