    Surely taxi prices are, by definition, the market price?

    Uber is making transportation accessible in cities to the average person.

  17. you'll probably find yourself spending so much time cleaning up your documents after converting to from .docx and .xlsx format to .odf's that you'll wish that you just paid the damn license fee.

    One necdote doesn't make a spring, but personally I've spent less time on that from OO/libre to Office (and back again) than I have between different versions of the latter.

  18. 7's UI is like a dumbed down version of XP. There are add-ons to make it tolerable, but without them it's shite.
