IME, at least within North America, the farther south you go, the bigger assholes people are.
I think this is true in most countries, at least in the northern hemisphere. It may work the other way round in the southern hemisphere, at least it appears to in Australia, but I don't have enough experience of other southern hemisphere countries to comment.
Libre (pron.:/libr/) is a loan word in English borrowed from French. As it does in that language, "libre" in English denotes "the state of being free", as in "having freedom" or "liberty".
Well that's your problem right there. Who wants to use a piece of software that might have been written by cheese-eating surrender monkeys? Now, call it Liberty Office and you've got an office suite that a red-blooded, patriotic Murikan can use to defeat the terrists.
On a recent trip to Shandong province, my wife brought back a box of the local delicacy - scorpions. We fried them up at home and they made a very nice crunchy, savoury snack. If you closed your eyes, it wasn't a whole lot different to eating any other bag of crisps (chips, for those non-British among you).
We gave my son a bag of them to take to school and he shared them with his classmates at the international school. These were 9-year-old kids from all over the world, US, Europe and Asia included and I believe almost all the kids in his class tried them and were agreeably surprised. Even his (British, female) teacher tried one. These things are a lot less gross than you might think.
I have also had deep-fried bees in Yunnan, and they were very good too. Don't knock it till you've tried it.
Hey, if one guy in New Zealand can call himself Kim Dotcom, what's wrong with the Commerce Minister calling himself Craig Foss? I understand that other members of the NZ government are already planning to change their names to Nathan Gnu, Nikki KayeDE, Hekia Pirate and that the Prime Minister will in future use his middle name in official business so that he will be called John Control Key.
The reason they were stripped of their launch authority is that they had discovered an international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
My 5yo niece picked up windows 8 in a month coming from XP.
I'm not sure whether I missed your sarcasm tags. Do you honestly think a month is an acceptable time for anyone to invest in learning a new OS? I would expect to be using most new OSes within one or possibly two days. I've watched kids and old ladies pick up iPads and be comfortable using them within minutes. Sorry, but life's too short to learn to use Win 8.
The Windows user was a short, balding man wearing a Harris tweed sports jacket, who had been married for a long time and had spent several years in India. He did not smoke, and drank only a little, but walked with a slight limp.

In Soviet Russia (USSR) political prisoners were treated much worse than criminal.
I don't think you've quite got the hang of this meme.

Yes, in my experience, most Japanese are very decent.
But personally, I prefer the indecent ones.
I just hope they aren't keep track of all the tin foil I've been buying.
India is more like Greece than China ...
... and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. (Groucho Marx)
Oh, come on. That's enough of the corny jokes.
Problem solved then! They can simply amend it again to include the cocktail of chemicals from the fracking.
I'm really looking forward to beer that I can set on fire.
At least it's a better strategy than Oracle's policy of only employing paranoid megalomaniacs.
Parents are going to love this if they can walk into their kid's room and just say "Turn that Xbox off". Gamers maybe less so.
It's incredibly difficult and time-consuming to eat well.
No it's not. See Jamie's 15-minute Meals http://www.jamieoliver.com/books-and-media/#revolution_of_food_bg
Lop off his arm and he's not likely to do anyone harm.
It's just a flesh wound.
who knows where the OP came up with newts...
Astronewts?
Just to make things clear for everyone, I suggest they call this new system the Suspicious Terrorist Activity Special Intelligence line.
Just call 1-888-FL-STASI
Hmm, fembots. I suppose the Apple model will be prettier, but much more expensive?
I just hope it doesn't tell me I'm holding it wrong.

Yes, but we don't dissect our children to figure out how to better parent them.
Oops, looks like I owe my wife an apology then.
You are already trapped inside the computer. To make matters worse, that computer is not very reliable, and cannot be repaired.
But does it run Linux?
Well if the earth Poles have moved, the government of Poland is going to be out of a job soon.

I personally always vote third party or if no third party is available, for my cat ...
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your cat's newsletter.
Middle finger for 1s
That's truly digital communication
