Yep, 2010 and 2007 are rated Silver, which is very good. But I was talking from my personal experience (I use an Ubuntu - WINE - MS Office combo as my main computer) and I have found it too be extremely stable. (especially compared to the alternatives)
Really, does your usage include docx? My principle OS is Linux (Ubuntu) and both LibreOffice and OpenOffice would consistently crash when editing that format, (as well as at least once a fortnight when not editing that format) I waited through a number of major updates over quite a large amount of time, but eventually I gave up and started using MS Office on WINE instead which I found to be more stable and had a more modern UI as well as opening docx documents correctly.
Most older.NET apps work, but you have to use the WINE tricks patch to install the.NET runtime first. I find for very common apps like Office and Photoshop WINE works very well.
As someone else quoted from the what-if, which you didn't read:
Our Cessna 172 isn’t up to the challenge. Launched from 1 km, it doesn’t build up enough speed to pull out of a dive, and plows into the Martian terrain at over 60 m/s (135 mph). If dropped from four or five kilometers, it could gain enough speed to pull up into a glide—at over half the speed of sound.
At no point does he claim the plane achieves propulsion, in fact he says exactly the opposite. Remember that the word glide means that the cesna does not achieve powered flight, and "launched from 1 km" means that it is already in the air when it falls and hits the ground, completely realistic given the terms of the scenario and detailed enough for the context.
Um, did you read the what-if it takes atmosphere into account and on each planet the plane is magically launched from a reasonable height (it does not take off)
Yeah, but you where asking about different desktop environments of ubuntu (kubuntu, xubuntu, etc) which all use the same reppos. Probably Mint will work, and debian unstable will remain as unstable as it ever is, different distros will probably not work correctly without working out tonnes of dependencies, but some posters are saying there is packages for Arch and Fedora. Most debian packages usually work with newer updates of libraries, but not new major releases, so I assume this will be the same.
You don't even need libreoffice and gimp, office actually runs with more stability (using WINE) then libreoffice does and photoshop is quite stable under WINE. I can't afford illustrator, but I would imagine that if photoshop works in WINE that would as well.
As a linux user, I have had seriouse compatibility and stability issues with libreoffice, but Word, Powerpoint and Excel all run briliantly in WINE - in fact I use this as my primary production system. I haven't tried outlook or acces so I don't know if they do. Onenote dosen't work though.
BSD is far less popular on desktops then linux, and as Steam is using a.deb package to distribute its software it probably will work on all of the DEs, it might however depend on lots of bloat from a diffrent DE to do it similar to how installing KDE apps in a Gnome environment requires you to install all the qt and kde libs.
ubuntu usually uses a standard VGA driver in that case, and does display a desktop (or it did before unity, I haven't been in that situation since) it then ask you if you want to download the proprietary nvidia or amd driver.
Most countries have laws about taking photos of people that require there consent both at the time the photo was taken and again to publish it. A good lawyer could probably argued that such consent was implied though.
Depends if they took the photo with consent at the time (not retroactivly) if the answer is yes then yes they have the right to post it. There are all ready laws about publishing photos without peoples consent in most countries, reposting an already posted photo is a copyright infringment (unless permision is granted). N.b. I don't count pressing the "share" button on Facebook as an infingment in this case because the orginial poster can still remove it.
Quoting someone is far use (for the type of posts you get on facebook), so that is ok; and defermation laws cover posts about people.
The main problem is if the op or subject of the photo couldn't legally consent for it be posted at the time that is was posted (due to age and/or intoxication), then its a bit of a grey area but they should have the right to have it removed. This is the only part that needs new legislation to clarify, in fact this one situation where copyright law actually works well.
BTW I live in NSW. Your example is a bit extreme, but yes it would be good to start qualifying US states like in your Minnesota example, your Massachusetts example is a bit over the top, Massachusetts, USA would be good though. However most people know the names of the larger US states due to films and literature.
In fact environmentalists actively support backburning in Australia because a large part of our native trees and plant are dependent on being burnt every few years

Isn't that what PlayOnLinux does?

Um WINE is extreamly stable for MS Office, more stable then native LibreOffice in my experience.
I can't imagine any computer experience worse, then using Photoshop without a mouse, it is far to fidely. Office on the other hand...

If you want MS Office on your phone though this would be great (for obviouse reason MS Office is extreamly stable on Wine)

It's case sensitive.

Don't put it in quotation marks google dosen't use searches with quotation marks in autocomplete.

An extinction is one species, an extinction event is a significant number of species.

Yeah but ubuntu will automatically install security updates by default and you usually don't need to reboot.

Actually from someone who has been researching the topic, the only free service that comes close to that amount of data is Microsoft's Skydrive.
He's offering by far the largest storage space of any the companies that you listed and quite a few others, it depends how you can access it though.
