I don't know, it may not be something they're immediately aware of.
A seating arrangement I've found works well is on the inside of a ring.
Have the desks setup with dividers so if someone needs to buckle down
and focus, they can, but if they need to confer, they can turn around.

I've tried cubes, offices, labs, and that setup, and I'd have to say,
for small groups, it seems to work out the nicest.

I think you're probably right on. I suspect frustration has a reasonable amount to do with it as well. Linux has grown unwieldy. It suffers one of the main issues with the C programming language: it's been around for so long, and the wheels have been reinvented so many times, that determining which APIs, applications, or packages to use in a given instance are, in themselves, an effort in yak shaving. This is the main reason I've avoided modifying the kernel code. I see the OS as having some systemic issues that, despite effort on my part, will not be resolved. And yes, my primary machine is a Linux box.

I drive a hybrid. This is going to have some lift, but frankly, trying one at a mac store, I felt it was clunky. Full points on the form factor, and the graphical transitions are very very very smooth, but they flip the screen direction after almost every click (rather than when you turn the device), and trying to use the web on it to access slashdot articles about the iPad, not pleasant. Some of that gets smoothed out with use, I'm sure, but for the price I'm not sold on it for now. Give me a laptop with a keypad.

Quantity matters too. You're not getting millions of tons of the gas in each livestock establishment. Granted the distribution across area could still be similar, but it may be easier if it's leaching from reservoirs in the ice...

You want to explain why you lose DLC functionality, even temporarily, when you can't connect to their servers and the date is messed up? You really think that their services will exist forever? Hate to break it to you, but for all the complaints about DRM and players rights on this site, this is an example of where it's significant.
