So do it the other way.

Install OpenOffice demonstrate the files aren't necessarily in Word and uninstall OO.org

Nah, while some kids will follow right up to the goody two shoes path* , there is just as often children who will follow all the way down to the bad to the bone at the end of the character continuum.

Take a look at my very scientific behaviour scale.

Goody Two Shoes

^point of annoyance

^roughly middle
most people about here

^hard work from here on in.

Bad to the Bone.

It isn't that people are inherently evil. I believe that it is easier to be bad and/or difficult without reason, at the very least it is easier to be selfish; it takes effort for most people to be exceptional, well behaved and a pleasure to be around*.

Hence, most efforts to turn children into the metaphorical angels only results in fairly good people. Hardly anyone actively tries to turn (their own) children in to their own definition of evil, because it generally doesn't take much effort.

Of course this only relates to behaviour, not to intentions. The scale doesn't measure the evilness of excessive subservience or other alleged character defaults that may result in an evil outcome. It does assume that people can be 'too good'# just as people can be too happy**

* Would nominating myself as an example of an exception be evil?
** Just thinking of every aerobics instructor I ever knew... *shudder*
# It is scientifically doubtful that their intentions align with their actions

Please ignore the following.

Tested this theory and it doesn't work. (Tested on wife and girlfriends; none reciprocated in any appreciable manner. 'Treat them mean keep them keen' works much better on a universal basis.

Not at the cost per megabytes that is charged here.

I've used a Win Mobile (5) and it did everything I wanted a phone to do and more. I've anecdotally found the iphone to be more stable, quicker and easier to use. Why is it koolaid chugging to decide one product does what you want it to better than another?

Bring on the joysticks. Why are we still using a primitive (yet complex) mechanism to do when we have had other means are simpler, more reliable (we aren't talking gaming joysticks), and less intrusive for a reasonable amount of time?

There are plenty of very smart people that would agree that stupid people did see the potential of computers and the stupid people were geeks.

Potential to change is not always improvement, just different.

hmmm, no, still not finding any keepass app in itunes. I must be in a bad nation. (Okay, really I can't be bothered getting an account in another nation.)

I've been waiting for a few of the keepass compatible apps to be finished with 'coming soon' for a while...

Regarding the keeping of passwords on a computer via a manager; I agree that it is inherently less secure to have a db storing passwords. However, I decided it to be a acceptable risk. I also have a long random passphrase and a key file to enter the database. Sure it is possible to be cracked but it is not likely to be down easily.

I do believe that Mozilla is not the only one auditing and compiling Firefox. I'm pretty sure that at least Debian audits, compiles and cross-checks code. A similar situation occurs re Chrome and Chromium (SRWare Iron) So we have a situation where there are at least two manufacturers of the essentially same product, using different production methods and conditions. I'm pretty sure that RH and Novel would do the same, and I'm positive that there are privacy and security pedantic individuals out there that can, and do, do the same on a myriad of systems including the venerable Windows systems.

We could perhaps argue that the NSA and China do that wrt IE, but both of those aren't well known for sharing secrets, unlike the former groups.

Open Source isn't infallible, and it does require a critical mass+ to have the advantages often claimed. But when the conditions are right++, then it has a higher probability of being better *security wise* for the average user than comparable other software. And it often relies on subjective factors for defining security.

+ I've never heard of this factor being defined.
++ This is a huge caveat.

I disagree with the gp, but why is keepass being denied? I've found it to be a reliable application, doesn't appear to duplicate any function (of Apple's products) and even just being able to read keepass db would be valuable to me. Tempted by the other password managers, but no bites yet.

I love my iphone, just as I'm sure I would had I been able to purchase an Android phone for the same price. The iphone works perfectly for me where perfectly means does everything I purchased it to do. (It actually does more than I purchased it for, so bonus for me.)

Well, this is why everyone needs to become a financial member of the ROA. Accuracy comes first, people!

Bloke you have the wrong person to be throwing that accusation at. Mr Eric Schmidt is the person to be aiming at.

Remember I was asking for a lower IQ rendition? You may need to spell out what is it about exhibit 1 that demonstrates Randians tendency to:

stamp their feet when anyone points out that eventually, at the end of the day, you have to work and get along with other people.

I'm also amazed you conclude that Totenglocke is a sad lonely miserable bastard. Totenglocke doesn't seem entirely objective(ist) either; rather a passionate person frustrated in the attempt to persuade other biases.

Totenglocke makes an anecdotal claim that counters your definition of Objectivists. Is it possible for you to rationalise your claim why Objectivists are so pathetic?*

* Thats my summary of your characterisation.

Ah, is there a starting point to obtaining knowledge of the philosophies of Ayn Rand? I've done a precursory search at google/wikipedia and it seems a little like I'd need to study her first to get an idea of where to start. Is there a Dummies Guide to Ayn Rand? Dibs if there isn't... There is a Beginners guide, but I was hoping for something at a lower IQ level.
