Given the prevalence and the amount of corruption going on in the Czech Republic these days, at all levels of society, the only reason from switching to YES from NO is bribery and/or chicanery of some sort.

A pile of cr*p shaped like a brick and painted gold does not make it a gold brick - even if it has 'Microsoft' stamped on it.
In other news, Investigators found that screw drivers, hammers, screws, nails, chunks of wood, bits of metal and fabric, memory chips, CPUs, hard drives and computers cases with windows, now retired by the military, could easily be purchased and transferred to the Iranian military, which is seeking these components, the report said.
Oil companies do not calude with each other, they compete. As a consumer, I see the complete opposite of this statement happening in reality. When the local Esso raises the gas price to $1.12 CDN a litre, then the local Sunoco, Petro Canada and others raise it to the same price within minutes. Competition would keep the price down. Calusion drives the price up.
Of course, then there is the fact that a 10 minute drive outside of town, all the gas stations, under the same brand names as above, have the price at $1.06 a litre. Talk about calusion and ripping the customer off.
dreamhost.com... bandwidth and disk space grows every week for free Just try and actually use all that bandwidth and disk space. See what happens then. Purely marketing bull crap.

Someone should tell the various social cliques that Zardoz was first at putting 'z' after words (like "needz" from that screen cap). The cliques are copying something that is over 33 years old... Narf!

Why should we type? Because, you [bleep], typing on a keyboard is the fastest and most efficient way to get stuff into a computer.
then you draw them You can type any letter or number far faster than you can draw it.
hand writing Even if hand writing, or drawing recognition was 100%, you can still type a lot faster than you can write. Not to mention you can type for far longer than you can write without tiring.
All of these alternate input ideas are bottom line stupid. You can type stuff faster into a computer than you could speak it. If voice recognition was 100%, then the computer would need to understand what you are saying.

POOXML is much more appropriate here.

Pay nothing, get nothing.
Pay little, get little.
Start up your own domain registrar. Offer reasonable pricing with DNS services.
The first four letters of 'Twitter' are "Twit", which is British slang for "insignificant, foolish or annoying person" (wikipedia).
As well, TWIT can be the acronym for Totally Without Intelligence.
So, there you go.
