(Yes, I realize I used the passive voice there, but English is the only language I know where language teachers frown on the passive voice.)
This is probably because you don't know language teachers of other languages who frown on using passive voice in their respective languages. I, for one, know that teachers of the German language equally frown upon (excessive) use of passive voice.
Other cities like Munich (LibreOffice) and Leipzig (OpenOffice) are doing just fine with the same family of office software. Without further information it is moot to guess if a) the Freiburg admins were not willing or capable of installing and configuring OpenOffice in a way that was satisfying to users or b) the users were unwilling to use the software (something different? something new? no way!) or c) some city managers decided to rather put some money in Microsoft's purse for any number of reasons (similar things happened to other public offices in Germany before).
Considering how things usually go, this will only be an option for a limited time. And will not apply to ARM machines as for these MS requires UEFI to be obligatory.
Yeah, great. How are non-MS operating systems going to use this mechanism for remotely initiated booting, as in WOL?
Does that mean non-MS shops will have night shift "specialists" on-site to press the Any Key whenever required?
Seems to me that MS has finally given Linux the boot:-(
the driver as well. Which would basically mean they could print out a robot with a sufficiently strong computing unit inside. (Which would again mean I could print out my next laptop without UEFI built-in, yeah!).
It is 10+ years old but when I read it I thought it was pretty good. If there are newer books that are recommendable I would be interested, too.
Otherwise: keep moving. As others in this discussion have stated: we are not made to sit still for long periods (or stand still, come tho that). Just try to sit in a comfortable position for, let's say, 1 hour, without moving at all (breathing movements and heartbeat may be continued;-)

Nothing to see here, move along. I had to put something here by demand of the CMS, sorry.
it is YOU, the tax payers. So, in effect, you are all paying for being surveyed. Yes, me, too.
Why am i suddenly feeling all warm and cosy – not?
Dumbing down software to "help" the unexperienced users is a good idea? Oh my god! Will they ever learn?
why don't you try this again on Twitter.
Go ahead, give us another laugh. Please?

Shouldn't that be:
If humans are mostly water (70%), and beer is mostly water (95%), then beer consists of diluted humans, or does it? ;-)
would anyone want to jailbreak a paperweight?
