Yes, destroy this over inflated bubble once and for all and of course tear it to shreds so that it never grows again.

At least one of the above is open source. As for replacements for Microsoft Office and its ribbon interface, Google is your friend if you want to find proprietary or free version and if you are really lazy then I will list two open source alternatives for Office suites.
For the record I use Microsoft Office, because where I teach that is the default software, however, I install open office and now libre office on my family's and friends computers. You should see there eyes when I tell them its free.
For the record I use opens source software and operating systems and if something gets up my nose like the current Gnome 3 issue then I just change.
Kind regards

This is not surprising because in mathematics there is a law called Benford’s law after one of its main founders, Frank Benford, who discovered it in 1935 as a physicist at General Electric. The law tells how often each number (from 1 to 9) appears as the first significant digit in a very diverse range of data sets.
So in other words there is nothing unusual about this because the four digit pin number is just a another data set. This law tends to be more accurate when values are distributed across multiple orders of magnitude. Because the 4 digit pin number spans several orders of magnitude, the 4 digit pin number is therefore following Benford's law.

There are other programs and if you do not want others knowing what "traffic" you carry then you would be wise to use them.
I want to see research papers that have been conducted using Double Blind Studies, why? Because of the constant, he said, she said, they said, we said. In addition to statements like, you are being paid by, an individual, corporation or even government body so you must be beholding to your masters, so therefore you must be corrupt or biased.
Until Double Blinded Studies are carried I will remain highly skeptical of any article or even peer reviewed articles. One last point, did I mention that this is just an outline of what can and probably will be done (rebuttal, critique or constructive criticism) of the real submitted paper when it does appear.

For instance it is reported from the article that "Sellers are reporting that eBay is systematically deleting auction listings from sellers who state in their item descriptions that they "prefer" to be paid with non-PayPal methods, such as bank deposit."
This sordid story is not over and us Aussies can be 'Real Right Bastards' when we are not given a fair go.
