Governments tend to become tyrannical. That's just a fact and has been a repeating pattern throughout history. Does that mean we just give up and submit to tyranny? No. It means we need constant vigilence.
Government elected by people who believe governments are evil, become evil. It's people like you who are the problem, no, the disease. Of all possible things, this is a discussion about suicide, and it just happens that the best thing you can do for everyone else is to kill yourself.
You sir, have delivered a sliver of calm rationalization into a festering pit of rage.
This is one of the situations where if you are not outraged, you are not paying attention.
Nowhere in the article any justification was given to description of a person as a "jerk", other than that author believes, company must grow indefinitely and accumulate internal bureaucracy such as himself instead of providing any kind of service. Inventing scenarios where stupid manager is right, does not make a useful contribution to a discussion.
He means that he is a dumb manager who antagonized a valuable employee for no reason, was slapped with a lawsuit, and now is writing stupid blog posts calling people jerks.
Because the "jerk" in the article wasn't a jerk at all. Author of the article was desperately trying to rationalize his idiotic decisions and bad management style by calling people names.

KDE greatly improved since the infamous 4.0 switch. I run KDE 4.9.1 (from ppa, regular Ubuntu packages are somewhere at 4.8.x), and it's perfectly usable. I have changed the layout to the GNOME-ish two panels, replaced fancy menu with traditional one, moved applets around and configured compiz as a window manager. compiz did not start properly in 4.8.x, I had to include it in startup, so first kwin started, then compiz replaced it, however in 4.9.1 just selecting compiz as a window manager works without any problems.
Only in the context of this whole "article" about opposition trying to attack Putin in hope that someone will support them.
I didn't even said anything about Putin - he is not as much a person as a... natural phenomenon. Like a fungus in a warm and moist place. Take him down, there will be someone like him - from Sechin and Ivanov to Medvedev-like faux-president. No, to make something right in this country there has to be a much more drastic change in people's minds, and that's not going to happen anytime soon.
You don't get it.
Politicians, possibly with few insignificant exceptions, are either psychopaths, bureaucrats, combinations of those two, or mouthpieces of aforementioned three. For example, Reagan was a mouthpiece (actor) of psychopaths (Social Conservative leaders), the worst kind of politician. Putin and Zyuganov are both nearly pure bureaucrats, the best ("best" as applied to "turd sandwich") kind.
Now, please look at your whole opposition, including your Prokhorov and the whole crowd of performance art celebrities, and try to find the closest of categories for each of their leaders. No bureaucrats, plenty of psychopaths, a whole fucking enormous crowd of mouthpieces.
So do you prefer them or United Russia? There is also #3 (clowns with Nazi tendencies), #4 (more or less Socialists), and the rest are pretty much hated by everyone.
Except in Russia the only "problem" opposition politicians can name is, "We can't win elections, so something must be wrong!". In reality, everyone (or almost everyone) in Russia simply hates them, and mildly dislikes Putin.
It's a matter of security in depth, i.e., if someone is able to penetrate one application that shouldn't mean they get access to the entire machine.
Or exploit one of the numerous vulnerabilities in hypervisors, VM management, or pseudo-networking between VMs. Like any additional software, virtualization reduces security.
I have a strong suspicion that New Zealand does not have much of "loony groups running all around the world killing people" or other things you have mentioned. Not that it's an excuse for co-operating with US while breaking local laws, but I am sure, it's better than sending people abroad to hunt terrists, run overblown war on drugs, or helping organized crime by fighting other organized crime.

Same reason why Sparta was at some point.
Oh, look, another Libertarian defender of his glorious corporate masters!
Go to Hell, hairyfeet! The important part is, their analysis is bogus, and you only post it as a part of your "social marketing" of Windows.
If you can't fix that fast, you get rid of those guys.
No, if you can't fix that, you resign and sell used cars for the rest of your life.

Perhaps they are teaching MS Office because people are very likely to use it in whatever office environment they might work in.
And if you are a black guy from a poor part of the city, they will teach you how to sell drugs, right?
Sorry, are you replying to my comment?

But can you, guys, at least stop pretending that you would have your Utopia if only Putin stepped down and let aforementioned clowns take his place?
So is Andrei Chikatilo, except he is more popular in Russia than current "opposition".
So do you prefer them or United Russia? There is also #3 (clowns with Nazi tendencies), #4 (more or less Socialists), and the rest are pretty much hated by everyone.
I mean, in more general sense -- as in, compared to "opposition".
Congratulations, you are an idiot!
Just use Kubuntu (or install KDE packages on regular Ubuntu).
Perhaps enough people will hear so that Putin won't win the next election
You know which party is consistently #2 in recent Russian elections, right?
If the first thing you learn about computers is Office, then your whole understanding of computers is ruined forever.

"Russians don't have any problems with Putin".

In the law, they mention doing so only after arrested for something else.
No.
