Nah, lotion and sanitizer don't cause problems. I have a bottle of hand sanitizer at my desk, and as far as the lotion goes, well, I gotta use that awesome screen for something...
For that matter, we could just do SaskTel, too. It's actually just my old Telus phone from when I was on contract with them, and it matters so little that it's not worth the trouble to switch.
Also, if I could just tether my iPhone when I make a trip down to Climax, that would be *awesome*. None of my family left down there has internet service.
True, but around here as far as quality goes, Shaw is way ahead. And it's nice to have a real phone to use around the house. Skype is just way too inconvenient.
We dropped Telus almost completely, and this is in Alberta! Vonage, Shaw, and Rogers now. The only Telus phone we have is a PAYG that we use when traveling because of back-asswards SaskTel, and crappy Rogers coverage in Sask.
Yeah, but why would an educational institution restrict itself to also-ran tools when it can afford the most popular ones?
I mean, I'll dick with the levels on my pictures in the Gimp, and maybe do a budget spreadsheet in OpenOffice, but if I wanted to get a job diddling pixels or pushing numbers there's almost no chance that I'll run into either of those applications.
"Running Linux" isn't necessarily the reason. It's most likely that your system is properly set up. I used to work as a developer at a Linux shop that went cheap on everything, and DAMN was that a lot of coming in in the evenings.

Wow. This has to be the best AC post that I've ever seen.
Mind if I steal this and use it elsewhere on the site?
Sure you do. The only difference is that with TCP/IP, you have to cut another ear off once you realize the first one was lost.
The early stories on itgrunt.com were really, really entertaining to read. I had to stop reading when his site became... well... that.
She's a pilot now.
That's not a TLA, it's an ETLA (Extended Three Letter Acronym).
Yikes, I think you hit a nerve there!
Even better, TFA is a page for a C++ web toolkit. It's just spam.
Interesting. I even have mod points, so I'm giving you a +1 in spirit.
I really wish I had mod points. :(
If you're fat? Yes.
It's pretty hilarious watching someone try to fingernail-tap on an iPhone.
*tap*...*TAP*.....*TAPTAPTAPTAPTAP* It's broken!

Let me guess. She tries to use her fingernail and tap, right?
I'm sure your reviews are righteen well.

Never said slashdot wasn't. Maybe I should have said "Internet users", or possibly just "people".
I'd consider this one "Insightful" myself.
Probably because Twitter users are pretty vitriolic and easy to whip into a frenzy.
You mean TwiddleNiplr was rejected? How am I going to tweet my tweeps while I'm tweeking my teats now?!?!
The one they settled, or another one?

Yeah, let's make the art students use GIMP and econ students use OpenOffice and and and... The less enrollment, the less stuff we have to buy, right?
Something like... 36.
