They are making great inroads into educational and some business markets for the same reasons, low acquisition and support costs.

Not this shit again....

The GIF begs the question, why, i.e., what causes the hexagonal pattern, but there's nothing in TFA that explains it. Can any of you astronomer types shed light on this???

...let's kill all the lawyers...

"Accidently" = Was trying to get an IT job, but was told they only "hired from within". Took a non-IT job, but found that most of the IT positions were "filled" by General Foremen and higher friends/girlfriends who actually did nothing...
