If this is going to happen at a company, it will happen regardless of whether showers are available. Also, if you're in a position/career where you're able to choose an employer based on such perks, their work/life track record should also play into your decision. If I had to regularly live at the office, I'd quit.

It's nice to be able to hit the gym and/or bike into work. I've been lucky enough to work for a couple of companies that have showers, and it's a perk I'd hate to go without.

Excellent. Just in time for nobody to give a rat's ass any more.

From the Deseret News, no less.

Please mod this person -1 without delay

That's not what the mod system is for.

not post them on the internet to encourage vigilantism.

It may encourage vigilance (different from vigilantism), and even result in a credible tip. Why assume the worst?

Such anger.

The assertion AC made (along with other "religious" types) is based on the the acceptance that the singularity was "just there", and that abiogenesis "just happened". Many call this acceptance faith.

I don't think I would actually call it faith, but something more along the lines of, "We don't know. We're fine with that right now. Some day, we hope to discover the answers for the origin of the singularity and the facility of abiogenesis. But, whatever the case, we're sure it's not God."

This is CAPITALISM?

Sony's offering in Japan is... also capitalism.

There is free market capitalism in the US. The problem is, most of it is in the fast food business. The few ISPs that have the go-ahead from the cities aren't interested in improving their offerings, and the small WISPs that fill in the gaps are either unable to do any better, or only willing to match the status quo.

Bullshit

James Bond, nothin'. It's time for Psy to kick some ass. :)

Don't rush him. Kim Jong Jr. has the muscle shirt on, and the Def Leppard cranked -- phych-ing himself up for the right moment.

(Or, maybe he's waiting for a phone call with the go-ahead)

More likely Windows CE.

If we're all going 120 down the highway, each car monitoring its proximity to its neighbors and continually making adjustments, why would you want to?

What the hell are they going to do when we're all in autonomous vehicles that always obey the speed limit and their revenue stream dries up?

(Actually, I don't even think we'll need speed limits once autonomous cars are commonplace -- at least, not on highways)

Right there with you. I ))HATE(( KIO for samba and end up just using mount.cifs for anything serious.

What difference does it make? I use KDE (this week), and all my GTK programs still run fine. There are no compatibility issues to worry about.

You used the word "deploy", which makes it seem like you're concerned with having many systems with identical desktop configurations. In that case, just install the one you prefer to manage. There are many to choose from, including mate ('sudo apt-get install mate').
