A windows machine can get flaky for little or no apparent reason, and therefore need a lot more fidgeting and rebooting to stay healthy. The *nix machines are more time consuming for initial configuration, but need a lot less nurse-maiding later.
In a recent study of the top 140 corporations in America, 12 were using OpenOffice. That's not exactly much.
I read as 12 of the top 140 admitting they use OO, how many consider OO a confidential competitive advantage? I've installed OO on a computer for an office worker in my shop, she doesn't have a clue what she's using and doesn't care because it works for her. Mostly they are fill-in-the blank forms saved as PDF's, if OO crashes and burns so what, they are usually printed from acrobat anyways.
Yes they might have been better off if they had, the time and effort spent on legacy support work could have been spent on making the new stuff rock solid stable and usable.
One problem is the different jurisdictions and cultures have wildly varying views on breast nudity; for example in NY, an equal rights states it perfectly legal for men to walk in public with their aureoles and nipples exposed and therefore it's also legal for women. This means the networks can get fined from the FCC for broadcasting a perfectly legal street scene outside their studios.
Actually they were supposed to use the fleet of school and municipal Buses to assist the evacuation per their local emergency plans, but they kept the buses locked up until they flooded.

True but during a power-grid failure you have to drop off the grid; when the grid comes back up you then can sync with the grid phase and supply power. If you stay online when the grid drops out, you can easily electrocute someone who thinks the line is dead, overload and burn-out your equipment when it tries to keep suppling 3 KWs into a 100 MW demand, or do some serious Hollywood class fireworks when the grid comes up and is 180 degrees out of phase with your little toy.
Inhalation: Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath. Ingestion: Not considered toxic although aluminum chloride may form slowly in the digestive tract with nausea, vomiting, other gastrointestinal effects in extreme cases. Skin Contact: May cause irritation with redness and pain. Eye Contact: Causes irritation, redness, and pain. Chronic Exposure: Pulmonary fibrosis from chronic inhalation has been reported. Chronic exposure has also produced numbness in fingers and (in one case) brain effects. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.

I've had the same idea myself but didn't write it down, I'm smart but not that smart so there will likely be others who did. I suspected it didn't have enough novelty to be patented anyway, how do you patent what's basically a power-plant cooling tower?
They're also intelligent and very arrogant, one walked past where I was bar-be-queing, not more than 3m away; he looked me dead into the eye, threw his nose up into the air, arched his back, curled his tail and began prancing to taunt me!
TFA mentioned that there was a large amount of HSV1 DNA in the specific lesions and less found elsewhere, not conclusive proof in it's self but highly suggestive.
I think he was refering to a population of one, the infected person,
In epidemiology, an infection is said to be endemic (from Greek en- in or within + demos people) in a population when that infection is maintained in the population without the need for external inputs Endemic (epidemiology)
Such as the infected remains infected without symptoms which may periodicaly reocure without addition external exposure to the HSV.
I've seen some really interesting well designed experiments on homeopathy in a BBC show; the results is homeopathy invariably worked in single-blind experiments and invariably failed in double-blind experiments. Both series of experiments had data gathered by automated cell scanners measuring invitro changes caused by the experimental substances. The experiments were conducted by the British Royal Academy of Science, and the experimenters were cleary biased toward finding no effect for the homeopathic remedies; very curious.
We don't necessarily want Our MD's playing "lets see what happens when...", frankly I don't care if he even knows what's wrong as long as he keeps something major and catastrophic from happening. I don't care if he doesn't know if I have a really bad cold or the flu as long as I don't get rheumatic heart disease along with it. 94% of the people coming into a physician's office will either stay the same or get better no matter what the Dr. does, it's the 6% that he makes a difference with that he worries about.
I knew what MMR was but followed the link and found this interesting
In the UK, the MMR vaccine was the subject of controversy after publication of a 1998 paper by Andrew Wakefield et al. reporting a study of twelve children who had autism spectrum disorders and bowel symptoms, in many cases with onset observed soon after administration of MMR vaccine.... Wakefield became the subject of a General Medical Council disciplinary hearing over allegations that his research had received funding related to litigation against MMR-vaccine manufacturers, and had concealed this fact from the editors of The Lancet. MMR vaccine
sounds like its possibly another case of payola punditry to me. Even Wakefield didn't say not to get the imunizations, just to not get themas a combination shot.
Personally I'd be more suspisious of the Thiomersal bacteriostatic used in the multidose package than the active immunization agents, yet studies don't even seem to point that way either.
I'm not an expert on all things google, but it wouldn't surprise me if google actually owned as much bandwidth as they bought. If ATandT and Verizon's consumer ISP had to buy their bandwidth at the competitive rates other ISPs pay from their parent companies, it might be cheaper for them to plug into google at the IPX and cut their parent companies out of the equation.

icarly uses firefox, they'll be dead in a generation!
I'm a strong supporter of state's rights too, but that time what was really needed was just the opposite.
Somehow I find the idea of unmarried Monks, Priests and Alter-boys more disconcerting than breastfeeding in public.

...then the ice breaks loose jams and dams until it pushes the river above the 100 year flood datum about once a decade
not too outrageous for an industrial chemical.
You say that like the replacement will be better than the replaced; most likely the only change will be the methods of malfeasance.
There are allegations that some judges in California are Scientologists; so it not necessarily as cut and dried as you might think.

Of course they could have been driving around lost on bad route info with an automated camera happily snapping photos and videos.
I don't think that a programmer with a screwdriver, or a a salesman with an install disc ever walked 30 people into a friendly fire incident.

Subsidies frequently run afoul of trade agreements and treaties, and generally piss people who aren't getting them off.
