Actually it is more political than you imagine.
KDE was not pure (L)GPL, it had dual licencing for money etc. It was the biggest FUD ever pulled successfully, even Microsoft failed to do something in this scale.

All of this is now over 10y ago but that's what really created the GNOME project. And they won't be finished until all functionality of KDE is completely removed from your desktop, leaving you with a single mouse pointer, single mouse button and a single window, full screen.

Come on... KDE... It's not the old KDE 4.0.

Bollocks. I've got Dropbox running on my linux boxen, where's the SkyDrive equivalent from Microsoft?

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?
