Call it hypothesis or theory, by definition both are testable, you can think of experiments that prove them wrong or right ( a theory is just a collection of hypothesis (what's the plural of it again?), with some already proven, roughly speaking)
ID isn't a theory nor a hypothesis, because you can not test it.
Therefore, talk about it in religion, fine.
But exclude it from any scientific education, no matter where!
I guess that is the big differences. Just to make the point again:
1. The big bang is a theory based on observations that tries to explain the genesis of our univers
2. The evolution is a theory, that tries to explain the origin of species.
Both scientific theories can be tested and maybe proven wrong, but they can be tested experimentally
3. Intelligent design can be called a theory, but than a religious or philosophical theory.
This theory can neither been proven wrong nor right, therefore it is called BELIEF
is obviously something the parents neither have nor are they willing to build and teach it to their own kids, if that's all they can think of.
What a brave new world.
or more precise in germany you dial 110 for the police and 112 for emergency/fire.
than you have to answer three question
Who is calling?
Where are you?
What happened?
In this sequence, if you can't, you must be dead.
Or will be soon...
There are some jolly good jokes here, and as a german i can't say that there was any racism. Sure if you insist on PC some comments weren't that nice, but how boring is life if you are always political correct...

I think that is something that heavily depends on the size of the company! So you have more than 50+ employees...well than you probably wont use Excel for your payroll, but if you do, you should have an IT-user-whatever (user service/support) which should do that job for you. Every company above this size is probably using something from SAP or peoplesoft or oracle.
I agree to your statement if you talk about VERY small companys, but than it all depends how you start your comapny.
And a powerpoint pressentation? the multi-megabyte graphics are embedded and thus are independent from the presentation software. The change in the layout of the presentation is , I fully agree, an issue but only once. Once you use a different software within the company there is no need for conversion anymore.
Access is certainly the most critical, but is this an enduser problem, if not I would expect my IT people taking care of it.
I have used MS Office and OOO for nearly 10 years now and I don't see the big differences once you start using the alternatives. Beside, writing a letter or anything similiar you could even use a simple text editor.
What most people forget when they write is the simple rule; it's the content that counts and not the form!
And I remember crashes/reinterpretations of layout by MS Word once I tried to assemble a PhD-thesis. Export to OpenOffice of the 100+ page document and the printer start printing 10 sec later exactly what I saw on the screen ( yes, with all the pictures exactly where I put them).
Oh well, at least you have some plugs (4 per waggon), which helps at least. But if you consider that Siemens is also building the trains, you wonder why they can't manage to estabish a repeater or a amplifier in the trains, particular the new ICE are really bad if it come to a mobile connections.
"It surely can't be long now before we're all streaming the latest blockbuster movies to our laptops on the commuter train home?"
If you have ever used a german train you wouldn't have made this comment. Although there are relieable and fast, a mobile connection is the last thing you can hope for. It feels a bit like no longer being in germany once you entered a train. So no matter what connection speed, expect gaps from 5 sec to 15 min in your movie... wait than a David Hasselhoff movie can even be fun...
If you compare the form of the Space shuttle, which has to fly and land later on, and the re-entry vehicle, you probably notice that it is a kind of inverse parachute and thus by design slower. Afer all it doesn't have to land on wheels.
What? We have a lot of rules (which you don't HAVE to follow, but you can;-) ), but I never heart about that one, and I broke some in the last 30+ years
Well, I haven't seen a country splitting an atom, but done was it for the first type in Europe, by some bright individuals.
What was it again you were looking for on the moon, cheese or crackers?
the USA may be a good place to live, but dangerous to visit in these days; you never know were you end up if you talk to the wrong people and can't see a lawyer for some years.

Would you upgrade to a no longer maintained OS, like ...mmmh DOS

God, may be less rules and more parking space, but... BAVARIANS! Die können, ja was eigentlich?
