"Why do you want to run a SQL server that has NO SQL support??"
That was certainly my first question.

So which of these is Godzilla, and which is Gamera?
This isn't about greater justice. It's about greater revenge. Not the same thing.

I use OS X, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, so exceptions/substitutions are made when an app isn't available for a given platform.
DropBox - Because that's where all the stuff I'm working on at any given time is.
Firefox - Because I'm a same-browser-on-everything kinda guy, and I'm too stuck in my ways for that to be Chrome.
LibreOffice - Because I'm a same-wp-on-everything kinda guy, but not so stuck in my ways that it has be OpenOffice.
Manga Studio - Because I create comics as a hobby, and even on the machines that don't have stylus input, I like to be able to open the projects I'm working on, and work on lettering or coloring. I don't use the GIMP because I think it's worth buying myself nice software sometimes, and I don't use Adobe Creative Shite anymore because that doesn't have to mean wasting money.
CyberDuck - Because a simple drag-and-drop ftp client is handy for getting my stuff where it's going.

I don't see it happening. The US military has become the federal government's most dependable jobs program. It's like the Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps... but not civilian (and not doing conservation work). In an economy where "defense" has become an important sector, budget cuts mean layoffs.
The only thing I know about WhatsApp is that for a while I was getting a lot of mail that was either spam from it or from scammers pretending to be it.

"E-sport" is an attempt to apply the macho-associated word "sport" (usually understood to be a physical activity) to gaming. Competitive video gaming (even for an audience) is really no different from competitive chess or poker. You sit down and you match your ability to play a game against other people playing the same game. Something one can reasonably be proud of being good at, so the pretending-it's-something-else aspect is a bit childish.
Which might help explain the lack of appeal to female participants: childishness in adult males is really, really off-putting. Combined with the aggressiveness of a competitive activity... it's worse.
Lots and lots of people don't consider hunting or fishing "sports". Those are effectively a whole different sense of the word "sporting".
