  1. Re:To be clear, this isn't "bad" news... on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    And I bet the waste was on wars, bailing out banks and insurance companies and other forms of corporate welfare, plus money thrown at the "right" kind of dictator with very little, relatively speaking, "wasted" on increasing our knowledge of how the universe works. I'm glad that your government and mine "wastes" money on this kind of thing because mankind would never have gone to space if all that was important was the $5 (warning - number pulled out of arse) a person it would cost.

    The earth has moved around a lot in those 700 million years. How do you know that no-one did and the evidence has been obliterated or buried so deep that we haven't found it yet.

    And would you be running VMWare on Android or a Windows 8 Phone? Why would you want this behaviour on a desktop where you want multitasking to work like it always has?

    I am a heavy user of Word and Excel and the ribbon was very annoying for me as a lot of the things that I was used to in Office 2003 were very difficult to find. I don't want to spend time on Google I want to do my job. I am getting used to it now, but a transition stage would have been nice for those of us who use the advanced features.

    Like police, courts, affordable medical care, an army to defend our borders, someone to enforce minimum driving standards, minimum safety standards in the workplace, no child labour, no slave labour and all the million other things the free market has never and will never provide. We need better government, not a free for all that will take us back to feudalism. By the way TfL has APPLIED for this ridiculous thing. They haven't been GRANTED it. See the all important difference. Come back in a few months when the judge has told them to fuck off.

    Apart from all the Muzzies in Afghanistan and Iraq who were killed by the liberal elite's war machine. Something the EDL and BNP seem to conveniently forget every time they pretend Muslims rule the UK.
