No. No, it really isn't.

Point of information: it also applies to things said within the House of Lords as well. In fact to anything said within the chambers of the Houses of Parliament by members of those houses (hence the term).

stry_cat sounds highly principled and I for one applaud him for it. It's not an easy step to take but it certainly can be the right one. If I were stry_cat I would look to get the new job sorted before quitting the old one, of course. Hopefully that's what they're doing.

As to the question of where to look, why not start with the big players? RedHat, Canonical, IBM, Google all (clearly) make serious use of open source technologies. Outside of pure IT there are plenty of others who do the same: Amazon, eBay, CERN, NASA, etc.

If you have a skill in a particular area (a language, an application, a protocol), most of those will have their own job board or similar and you probably know already where to look for that. Good luck in the search.

Yeah, it's those stenographers and their suspicious-looking keyboards. They're bound to be up to no good. It seems like they've infiltrated every court in the land, too.

No need.

Does he also travel everywhere by jet-powered luge because he thinks cars are so dangerous?

Agreed. Also I would have a very different life if not for dmr. His contribution to the field simply cannot be overstated.

I hate to break it to you, but Bing has a very long way to go to make it that far up the list.

Except that the Trans-Siberian Railway already exists and has done so for decades.

I'm slightly surprised at that assertion, mostly because the very first thing I have to change when using a vanilla WM is the focus behaviour to focus-follows-mouse (or pointer). Clicking to focus seems a waste of a click - the pointer is already in the window, why should I click just to get focus? And in doing so, I've got to watch what I click on - if it's a browser I would have to take care that I'm not clicking on a link, etc.

Am I so much in the minority here?

And, just to keep this vaguely on topic, I like the MWD and have no plans to enable single window mode in GIMP.
