Back in the days of yore, a schizophrenic would be a prophet or an oracle, since some gods and daemons or dead souls are talking to him. These days, thanks to stabilizing medicine, they have more opportunities to excel.
Uhuh, similarly people with agoraphobia or anxiety can be used at night when it is quieter and the law assumes that a larger company can do more to accommodate someone than a small company can.
Yup, and the idea of 'reasonable accommodation' usually means that it only applies to companies with more than 50 employees, since it would be unreasonable to expect much from a smaller company. So if you have a disability of any kind that requires some level of support, then get a job at a large company.
"A couple of days ago I tried to install Linux on a 7 year old office machine which runs office apps just perfectly under XP, and my first experience on reboot was a login screen where you had to wait about half a second for each character to appear. Not good."
Note that the install program was Linux and it worked just fine - you installed the thing didn't you? So your problem is likely that you installed a desktop system that requires a modern graphical card. If you would choose LXDE or XFCE then it will be OK.
Well, at the very least you could make a WinXP virtual machine, then you can easily restore it when it screws up. You could also make WinXP into a BartPE CDROM and run it in an uncorruptable form.
It does f-all to the NSA spying outside the USA, which includes me. So I will continue to do my damndest to make things difficult for them. There is no law that commands a foreigner to submit to foreign gubmint spying.
You have not met my wife. She will walk into a room where I am sitting, change the thermostat or fan speed, then walk out. So I got to get up and set it back again. I have considered modifying things so it can't change, but that would be cruel.
The meta data is much, much, much more important than the contents of a message or phone call. It is the meta data that is used to gain your geo location used for the missile. Once the launch button is clicked, what you said, or whether you are guilty of anything at all, fades into insignificance rather rapidly...

The problem is that this therapy tends to erase all memories. It is a very blunt instrument, just slightly better than a lobotomy.

It is very easy to set up a motion capture alarm - Google for 'Linux Motion' for example.
Yup - pics or it didn't happen.

I take it that the IT idiots at your Dad's companies never heard of Virtualbox or VMWare?

Wire it in parallel you dum dum.
I think whoever makes a holographic Goatse lense cover will make a fortune.
In parallel, not series.
Yup, and as a consequence, Boeing just lost a 5 billion Dollar Brazillian aircraft order to the Swede SAAB.

So, when a cave couple divorced, were they still brother and sister?
You nearly made me snort my coffee.
Every biologist wants to discover a new species - so they grab onto every straw to find one - resulting in many bogus species.

Yup, it is mainly a backup service and they get to charge you for it too, both in your taxes and in your phone bills.
The NSA and CIA always spied on all non-Americans, so all it amounts to now, is equal treatment for everybody.
Artsy people usually don't want to be confused with facts. So no matter how much evidence there is, it won't make any difference to the publishers.
Abiword has been doing collaborative editing since the previous century.

You mean, like the last Iraq war?
Oh really? Theo said they took something from Linux...
