The only one I minded was the back to work legislation for Air Canada but I suspect that is more about keeping the government investments alive instead of instead of admitting they wasted money on Air Canada and letting the airline die like they should.
Government unions throw off the balance of power in favor of the union in unfortunate ways. In the private sector if the union goes on strike or drives costs up too much they risk the company going out of business and they lose their jobs and while they are on strike a competitor can come in and take up the business so the public isn't dragged into the fight. In the public sector there is no competing service to pick up the slack so the public suffers, to top it off it's easier for a politician to just throw money at the problem and leave the costs for future governments to worry about rather than fight the Union and take the heat for lost services. To top it off since government services are a monopoly covered by taxes the public is stuck paying whatever they are charging.
There is a reason that in Canada there are more Union members in the public sector than in the private and why the government has no choice but the play hardball and whip out the Essential Services legislation. The public gets this and it's why their popularity went up when they smacked down the Canada Post Union.
Exactly, I own a PC, laptop, Cell phone and a tablet (work supplied) and my desktop still gets most of my usage, aside from the difference in CPU/GPU power, both my work and home desktops have their monitor at proper ergonomic height so my neck doesn't cramp when I've been using it for hours. Even the office secretary has looked at my setup and purchsed monitor riser stands for half the office thinking it's better/ cheaper than physiotherapy.
The laptop only gets trotted out on trips and my cell has a keyboard so I can ssh if an emergency arises while I'm out of the office and away from home.
The work supplied tablet gets no work related use at all and instead gets used as a giant gameboy and portable picture/video viewer.
I have used those along with several forms of liquid and several forms in pill. One day I mentioned to my specialist that the compressed air version of my medication worked better than the same chemical in powered form (also inhaled) and he replied that I was correct: the most effective way to get something into the blood stream is through the lungs and the most effective way to do that with with the compressed air versions.
Any doctor pushing a bronchodilator for anything other than the rare emergency use is simply incompetent . Lifestyle changes don't work in all cases although they do help depending on what the triggers are and I have found that relaxation techniques are a great way to avoid a panic attack and passing out but aren't entirely effective. In my case the magic treatment that finally got me off daily Ventolin, along with making sure my house is clean and avoiding smokers (even when they aren't smoking), was Alvesco and that is compressed air inhaled.
As an aside, I really worry about the US when I find out that an Albuterol inhaler there costs $20. My CFC free version of Ventolin cost me $12 in Canada and in Spain I pay less than 10 Euros. The Americans are getting ripped off.
As I said: "will be interesting when it's out of beta". I make a good living on Linux and am not about to play games with client money.
You can't just lump all Linux users/advocates into a single group. There are several kinds of Linux user: 1. The tech. Makes money off Linux and prefers the command line when it makes life easier but would rather not touch it for things that require constant change such as setting a Wireless access point. 2: The newbie: Someone who installed Linux because they heard it was cool or because they bought some laptop that came with Vista but with borked drivers with no drivers available for XP(I've seriously seen this). This user will never EVER touch the command line and exists entirely on the default options while adding new software with Synaptic. 3. The tinkerer:These guys love the command line and like experimenting in general. 4: The 3133T: Likes the Linux because using something hard makes him feel superior to the masses. These guys annoy the techs to no end and risk turning the newbies off of Linux entirely. The annoying thing is that they don't mind that they turn people off Linux because it makes them feel even more superior. Next time you meet one just nudge them in the direction of something harder like one of the BSDs. The rest of us will thank you.
Actually the backend Unix stuff is not as fragile as you might think. Most of it is designed to be combined with other tools and even the tools that aren't defined by either Posix or the SUS tends to be slow to change and the writers are very paranoid about changing even command ling arguments. It is only the desktop related stuff that sees a high rate of churn.
Having said that, There are several Linux based Exchange replacements as and a Google search just showed me a couple for GPO and Sharepoint but Samba 4 is supposed to include the ability to work as an Active Directory server (will be interesting when it's out of beta).
That link is deceptive since it ignores ipad like designs before the ipad and ignores the fact that the other form factors still exist. Here is a better example.
It is a good way to get rid of the HTC sense UI but really the only reason to upgrade is to gain software updates that the phone companies didn't bother with. I have an HTC desire Z that came with android 2.2 so the upgrade was worth it just for the ~30% improvement in battery life.
I see your phone comes with android 2.3 already so you may find it's not worth it until the next version of Android for phones is released.
Linux has a framework for some sort of recovery on GFX crash but that would require NVidia port their drivers to work with KMS and they havn't bothered.
Evangelical Christians tend to take the bible literally so these are by definition not evangelical and on top of that they are removing the "fallen man" part of the story(central to most evangelical belief systems). They are trying to influence evangelicals but they themselves are not.
More likely is the fact that IE will often second guess the filetype, ignoring whatever the server says about it and, when fed a filetype it doesn't recognise, will spew the raw contents over the screen. It looks just like corruption to the average user but it's really.
I wouldn't know about that. We have had constant problems between the latest version of MS Office and the latest version of the MS PowerPoint viewer used by our display software. Every once and awhile MS Office will produce a PowerPoint slide that the PP viewer crashes on reading. When this happens the only thing that fixes it is to load it from LibreOffice and resave. MS Office might win out for complicated documents but for the basic stuff LO wins.
The good news is that a cyanogenmod install obliterates any forced Bing settings as well as any bundled apps, although you don't have to go that far a simple rooting (easier with Samsung phones than most others) and a Titanium Backup install will kill any preloaded apps.
It has to be pointed out that most countries where "Foreigners steal our jobs" is a complaint are countries where, if not for immigration, there wouldn't be enough people left to keep the system going as the population ages. That includes pretty much all of Europe and North America.
32 vs 64 bit isn't the only reason to want something like this. What about systems that happen to provide support for another binary format with hardware translation?
There is SNAT and at least one firewall app that lets you load balance multiple ipv6 links by keeping the lan on it's private address space and translating for outgoing traffic.
A lot of the manufacturers are sitting on IPv6 enabled firmware until the ISPs get farther along. I know Telefonica (Spain) is planning to remote reflash all of their customer side DSL modems with IPv6 capable firmware during their IPv6 rollout planned for later this year.

It's a tax on being compatible with Windows.

I just don't see tablets taking over the world.
For the rest of the world non CFC inhalers seem to be cheaper than what you Americans pay for the CFC version.

You are dealing with a touchscreen, most Windows apps are not designed for that and will be really annoying to use anyhow.

It's a doubling of raw bandwidth but in practice, it will be a lot more than that. TCP runs more efficiently at full duplex.

Forget time zones.. I'd be happy if they killed off daylight savings.
Well how is Windows 7 doing it then?
Linux has a framework for some sort of recovery on GFX crash but that would require NVidia port their drivers to work with KMS and they havn't bothered.
The NVidia driver is directly accessing the hardware so when it goes there isn't much X can do about it.

No need, you can install a VDSL DSLAM where all of those phone cables connect and get a reasonably decent data rate to the hotspots.
The good news is that a cyanogenmod install obliterates any forced Bing settings as well as any bundled apps, although you don't have to go that far a simple rooting (easier with Samsung phones than most others) and a Titanium Backup install will kill any preloaded apps.
I hear that a lot but then I don't meet very many people willing to do the work they are doing.
It has to be pointed out that most countries where "Foreigners steal our jobs" is a complaint are countries where, if not for immigration, there wouldn't be enough people left to keep the system going as the population ages. That includes pretty much all of Europe and North America.
Or it's due to the fact that China could bankrupt the US by simply refusing to buy any more treasury bonds.
