Quite. I've switched desktops quite a bit over the years - currently on Gnome as that's the default for Mint - but I can honestly say that in the years that I was happily using KDE, I hardly ever touched Koffice at all. I either used OpenOffice or Vi - and I still do.
Possibly the contrary: The VM the employer's stuff runs in is not only standardized hardware, but they can also reasonably expect to manage that virtual hardware to the fullest extent, including firewall-like features, and the above-mentioned ability to guilt-free nuke the VM from orbit without worrying about lawsuits about personal data.
People keep assuming Amazon gains nothing from hosting Wikileaks. Kindly provide citation, because as far as I know Amazon is providing hostings FOR MONEY.
This will change everything *in scientific circles*. It will change exactly nothing at all in real life.
Fuck, if we were to find not bacteria, but fully-fledged intelligent lifeforms, nothing would change. The vatican and a half-dozen other religions would send missionaries, and half of the world's population would look down at them because they don't have "the right DNA" and that's "against nature".
I honestly don't know what it would take to get those admittedly very natural but in this day and age a bit undesirable instincts out of the majority of the population. Wish I knew.
Oh, and if you've only had Belle-Vue, you've never had kriek at all. The LKW is about the real thing, smalltime breweries and manual labour. Belle-vue is, well, think of it as McKriek.
Academia doesn't start spouting "look what a great tablet we're developing OMGPONIES" two weeks before Apple is rumoured to be presenting the iPad, though.

Yeah, alright, but dogs already love beer, so why go through the bother, and even make it meat-flavoured ? Just give your dog a bowl of N/A. Probably a lot cheaper, too.
And, funnily enough, that frequently gets them the label of vaporware company. They are, of course, but that is because their marketing are asshats, and has nothing to do with the quality of their research.
Quite right. In other words: survival of the fittest; cleaning of the gene pool.
I'm not advocating reintroducing the black plague, but being the remote offspring from ancestors who survived the black plague and other hardhoods is *exactly* what has let us increase our average life span.

So do plenty of people, and precisely therein lies the problem. Too many people have forgotten what it is to be young and how much fun can be had getting dirty.
Stop locking your kids up in cleanrooms, dammit. Let them out, let them play, and let them get dirty. Also, let them run into a tree from time to time - pain teaches important lessons about endurance and perseverance, not to mention about stupid.
So Germany didn't bother to hush it up and told their citizens what the US was pulling. It may not have been necessarily straight from the government, but the citizens knew. How many US citizens would you say knew what shit their government was pulling in other countries ?
Only because the christians did a pretty good job of forcibly and/or sneakily converting the world. Who knows, maybe we'll all be having ramadam in fifty years.
As I said, each to his own fairy tail, just don't stick the "uniquely christian" bit to me.

Shame that they're mostly concerned about the wealthy minority these days.

I'll damn well vote for that.
I just had a bowl of wokked soja sprouts - yeah, really - but your post is so inspiring that I may actually stop by the hamburger place later tonight.

Uhh... If it's a genuine sale (as in, not a loss leader), I suspect the small competitor doesn't much care where the products go.
Please define "simple".

Then show up, won't you :-p

You'll be finding very soon that your Abraham Lincoln is really Vlad Tepes with a stovepipe hat and a fake beard.
*sigh*
Yes, the birth of your personal savior is something that only you celebrate, thus making it a "uniquely christian" holiday.
Actually it's the result of doctors over-prescribing what they see as an easy fix-all.
Note that that doesn't necessarily invalidate your statement, though.

If that's the way you usually approach them, it's no wonder you don't get any.

Oh come, on, this is ancient stuff.
> olks who object to wind farms surely have their own reasons
I wish some of them would elucidate them, then, and preferably beyond "they're ruining the view".
I wouldn't mind wind power one bit, I like watching the things spin. It calms me right down.
