Bollocks, nothing beat being a dwarf.
Well, apart from the hairy sex. And not knowing if the other person in bed is the right sex until the undies were gone...
Apart from that, yeah, dwarf priests do it with hammers!

When you're dead, you can't tell your end of the story. Then it's always the person who killed you makes the story and that's the story that will count during the court hearings.

Kill a pig or an ex-pig, you will NOT get a fair hearing, even if you're right. All around the world, the system is riggest against you, the prosecutors and the pigs will do everything to blacken your reputation and ruin you. End of story. No happy ending.

Unlikely, even so-called knife crime craze is extremely rare. It doesn't stop Daily Scaremail claiming the opposite, of course but when was the last time they told the actual truth? Their original owner, Rothermere, used to go wet talking about Nazis.

Leave alone the blinding light coming back from the screen... Those new iPhones are so bright, you can use to project a movie. Right? Right?

Fuck, not right. Damn, I thought I was onto something.

You're absolutely right. Popcorn's already marked as a WMD so pulling your gun and shooting someone just because there were some popcorn flying is sooo justified...

NOT!

Are you fucking insane?

Not only that, SpaceX carries more while charging NASA for less, and Orbital still gets a contract. Why? Because they have always been a NASA contractor.

Pork barrels all the way down, all the way...

Or go for a Free software and get something better than the lot...
(Linux on Desktop had arrived on mine mid-previous decade and I haven't turned back since then).

If it's between funding a thousand MSL-style probes and funding ISS, I'd vote for shutting down ISS. I was never a big fan, it sucks research cash but doesn't actually do much science. It's so bad, ISS people need to find people doing very stupid experiments on it when you can't get time on any of the scientific probes since they're so crowded with research. Just a comparison of the papers released from experiments from ISS vs experiments from any other probe (say, a fringe experiment) like Galex, I'm not even counting the papers from the real telescopes like Hubble show how useless IIS for science.

Even medical science... There's really not a lot of research coming out of it.

You mean we could have banged up Dickie Nixon into a prison cell for war crimes after he was pardoned by his best mate? Damn! That was a missed opportunity.

I think you'll find pardons don't work the way you think they do.

Way to totally miss the point. If you bought any movies from Amazon, you didn't actually buy the media, you only bought the licence to watch them. See the recent case of Disney preventing movies already bought from being watched just because they don't feel like it.

Hence, you don't store any real media in the cloud.

What is wrong with a nice VM?
Who dedicates real hardware to test these days?

Ditto with previous versions experience. I started using 6 when it was in beta and I only had one stupid deadlock issue which there was no way of fixing easily and one quota issue (it appears to be broken at the moment, even when my 40GB quota was less than half used, it was reporting full). Allegedly fixed but I just removed my quotas.

Dupe issue appears to have been fixed, that was what made me stop it using last time.

And so what, what has happened to Sun Open Office? Abandoned, rotting in Apache's abandonware collection. The alternative was complete bitrot so I applaud Apache for taking it on board, just for the sake of it.

Libreoffice, on the other hand, is getting a lot more submissions and features.

I find Kensington Orbits work just like you've described, plenty simple and cheap machines and they last a while. I've got a logitech thinking it would be smaller hence easier to take it around (it wasn't), I find it extremely painful after a couple of hours. The problem with the Orbit is the ball is very loose so if you don't take the ball out , you might find yourself on all fours trying to reach the ball under some office fuzz under a desk and that really doesn't look good in front of customers.
