With a monopoly everybody know where they stand. You either with them - or against them. And if the monopolist is really bad, then opposition would form in the industry.
Duopoly creates illusion of competition.
Oh, you mean like the REPUBLICANS and the DEMOCRATS? Now I get it---Thanks!
It sure has. Ten years ago, I actually still used Windows. About 6 months after that, I switched to Linux, and since then, I mostly get to ignore Microsoft and its scabby products. And when work obliges me to test something on Windows, it's in a VM.
MY principal beef with Microsoft is their incredible "we already know what's best for you" arrogance and their chronic inability to discern that a computer I've bought and paid for with my own money is MY computer and not theirs. When that attitude changes, you might see mine do so also. In the meantime, I am grateful to FOSS for making it possible mostly just to ignore them.
You've not looked at a Chinese flag lately, I'm guessing?
The Chinese word for "red" (hóng ) also means "favourite", "popular", "bonus", and "revolutionary". The colour itself is associated with expansion, coming into bloom, energy, and good fortune.
It's also traditional in China to give people presents of money in red envelopes on occasions such as birthdays and weddings.
Oh, I first heard of it years ago, and even have some ISOs lurking around on a spare drive somewhere.
Never have had a spare machine to try it out on at the same time I had time and inclination, and I never could get it to install in a VM (I tried Qemu and VirtualBox).
Sorry, for most schools in the US, the cutoff date is in September or October, so your twins would still be in the same grade.
Even taking that into account, there's no way you could conduct such an experiment and control for environmental factors across school years like that.

Pretend for just a moment that we're not talking about an argument's logical or ethical impact, or even the effects of charisma.
Pretend instead that we're talking about gaming the system.
Why should corporate shills get all the good times? Those in the public sector deserve their fair share.
Use ——and you'll be golden.
Here ya go, buddy.
Dingdingdingding... We have a winner. Alas, I'm fresh out of mod points today.
Comparing genocide with doing business? Only on the Internet!
You seem to have missed the fact that it was the MS point man who invited the comparisons with the WW2 era to begin with.
Nice try, though.

The original was just fine. Don't quit your day job.

Good to see that somebody's sarcasm detector is actually functional, I guess.

Nope, that should be 'tvoyu'---2nd person singular plural possessive, accusative case, feminine.
Unless you're telling your own mother to fuck off, that is. ('Tyebya' is the 2nd person singular accusative.)
I wonder if they had publicly accessible sources? I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't - security through state secrets and all.
They still do. (Sorry to disappoint you.)
... has produced less original content than its neighbour Sun Wah Linux.
That's no surprise since he was very likely the most-recorded artist of the 20th Century.
And if you play Pleiades backwards on your PC, it'll offer to install Yggdrasil.
I have a number of Chinese colleagues. They tend to do excellent work.
It wasn't just the female students.

It sounds like you have something to hide.
Let me be the first to say, "Fuck you. (And you're an idiot.)"
My mom says your troll is about 20 years out of date. (She's a retired public library director.)
You don't require a university degree to be a nutjob, and having such a degree is no proof against being a nutjob.
Duncan is a nutjob who (nevertheless!) happens to hold degrees from Harvard and Dartmouth.
Put another way, Duncan has degrees from Harvard and Dartmouth, and is (nevertheless!) a nutjob.
Are we done now?
If you're using a typewriter, it's not a blog. Perhaps you meant "diary" or "journal".
I have nothing to hide; therefore, you've no reason to want to look.
I have 7 very special words I get to pull out every so often. This is one of those times.
"You must be great fun at parties."
