Wait, Faux News is discredited? Who woulda thought!

Yeah that Google company hasn't been able to make it work at all. I mean I'm constantly having to wait _microseconds_ for my search results. That's just unacceptable.

Seems like every day there's a story about AT&T, Verizon, "cable" and "digital switchovers". It's just one country, right?

I swear my first thought when reading this summary was "Of course, NHS dentistry!"

Hmmm, I can't seem to find Google Voice in that list.

Sounds a whole lot like how another book reads to me. Except its adherents feel that it's okay to pick and choose which bits they adhere to. You know, gays bad, pork good.

In Australia, and I'm sure most other democracies, we have a position known as a "scrutineer", appointed by the candidates who are allowed appoint one per polling place. The scrutineer watches the voting process and watches the counting process after the polls close.

I've been a scrutineer, so yes I have tracked the paper votes and how they are counted.

WTF are you doing riding in the door zone? If some idiot road designer has painted some bike logos within a metre of car doors, that doesn't mean you should ride on it!

I've never been doored because I don't ride anywhere near doors.

It's not different because it's from Google, it's different because Google is behind it. Remember "nobody ever got sacked for choosing IBM"? Well that's Microsoft's biggest lock-in method now. It's not like Office is good at word processing, spreadsheets or presentations. In fact it's lousy at all three and hasn't improved in nearly ten years.

But try getting your boss to move the company across to a platform from Gee Whizz Inc, market cap $20,000. But he's heard of Google. His business magazines constantly gush about them, so they must be good.

Too bad Logitech canned the best one they ever made: Logitech Trackman Marble FX. I owned four of them, but they all eventually died. Now trying the Kensington Expert Mouse (which is, actually, a trackball) but because it's flat, I find it makes my wrist and shoulder sore.

The beauty of the Trackman Marble FX was that it didn't use the thumb on the ball, and the whole thing was tilted at an angle so your hand sat flat, no tilt in the wrist. I'm thinking of putting an angled block under the Kensington device to do the same thing.

As we all know, the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution covers the United States and the United Kingdom. Hell, their names are similar.

You don't get it. No, you charge $5,000 because nobody in their right mind would buy the cheap and nasty version. Oh no, your version is CERTIFIED. (includes certificate on fancy paper)

Yeah because FreeBSD really has an enormously valuable and well-known brand out there in the consumer marketplace. I'm sure Asus have been getting calls all the time from grandmas saying "I'd buy your Eee laptop if it came with FreeBSD."

All your points comparing FreeBSD to Debian are completely bogus. There are very good reasons why Debian decided on the design it uses.

Methinks you don't know what you're talking about. Java is nothing to do with JavaScript, beyond the name which was something that came from Sun's marketing department.
