TBH I have no idea anymore (gray beard here), I have created so many over time, AIM, Yahoo, Google (what ever it was that week), etc....I honestly have no idea now.

That is not actual government debt and is based on the GERS figures that have one heck of a lot of guess work. As I have said the Scottish Gov isn't allowed to have any debt.

Um...the Scottish government has no debt, it wasn't allowed to get any until the last Scotland bill (even then it is very constrained), the only debt it ,arguably, has is the PFI crap that the labour signed up to. The EU has not said no to an independent Scotland joining (even spain has not said that). What happened to the price of oil (now climbing again) can hardly be blamed on the SNP.

Oh as for the healthier scotland crap...why are the unionist parties and friends doing all they can to block minimum pricing of booze?

But facts never get in the way of a good yoon rant.

Scotland bought into Blairism?!?!? Since when? Scotland was the last bastion of old labour until too many Blairites got into power in the rotten "Scottish" Labour party, then well...They now have one MP and some how managed to be less popular than the tories in SCOTLAND!!!

TL;DR

Um the n900 (phone...well more kinda a pocket computer that made phone calls) was basically debian, nice bit of kit, shame nokia killed it. The Neo 900 showed promise, but that project seems to have stalled.

I still don't get the problem with the SNP, they are a leftwing progressive party and would be a good fit with labour (might even remind them that they are suposed to care about people who are worse off). They might also have made the UK less so utterly london centric.

My what a objective scale. For me anything over 30 C is a hotday and anything below 3 C is a cold day. So 86 F is hot and 37.4 F is cold, doesn't quite work, does it?

They will be sending the letter to the person who's name appears on the bill. If your that person and didn't do it, the point is for you to have words with the person doing it or have the name changed on the bill to thiers. Basically it's saying "Hey your name is being associated with dodgy activity, you might want to stop this, but over to you about what you do."

Which NHS? The rules for NHS Scotland I believe are different, different legal system and all (there is no such thing as a UK wide NHS).

Only applies to NHS England as there is no UK NHS, and never has been, for those confused (mostly in better together), the Scottish NHS is septate and always has been :-D. Thank god(dess) for our septate legal system. Out of interest does this mean all the UK police forces can have a nose about NHS England’s records?

The problem is MS current ad campiagn that pushes windows everywhere. This does not help the hardware bods, they can get stuff free (android) rather than paying MS. This does not help MS with an OS that sucks on anything other than a touch machine. MS is ignoring it;s corp customers, It thinks it can get off with it, and it will for now (one release of the OS) but is now on trial with the corps who are now concered about ms's comitment to them. I work in a SME (the core market for MS) and we are likely to nuke our last MS server and machine when XP support ends. Apple in some places and linux everywhere else. They play well with each other.

Erm, sorry to bust your bubble but MS wants apps they control. MS doesn't want to be open anymore if they can help it.

Erm...ever herd of apt,yum,etc?

What version of linux were you using...LVS or slackware, really you must be one of the few people on the planet that has a problem with linux due to packet management ever herd of a package manager.

Even base debian, hell gentoo, looks after the system intergration side if you use the package manager rather than tar balls.

Work: fedora/centos, totally open source other than the inhouse apps/scripts...That is what drops my percentage the most.

Home: debian and me android phone (used to have a n900 until some git broke in and nicked it, best geek phone ever) which does a few rarely used close source apps.

Not counting inhouse apps I would be about 98% open source.

But I am almost zero on ms except for the one MS server I have to maintain that gets looked at when it falls over at work.
