LMFAO....You have clearly never worked in that environment if you make that comment. They CAN'T manage their own machinery at home, and sure as shit they aint going to be left to install and manage whatever they like on the corporate network!

Mmmm....Yeah, just install version 5 and watch a bunch of mission critical plugins fall in a heap. Thanks for the advice.

Huh? Surely the the larger size and lower population density would have a significant impact.....Then again, once you take the difference in petrol/gas prices into account, you could probably drive from New York to LA for the same price as it takes my local Tesco van to get to my house, which is about 1KM away!

I have no idea what "Trader Joe's" is. Given the demographic of /. I would hazard a guess at some American outfit. However, am I the only person that doesn't care for employees that "actually talk to you" ? When I go to buy food, I generally want to get in and out quickly...Nothing p's me off more than hanging around waiting while the staff have a long chat with some customer at the checkout....

Seriously? You don't tip a guy delivering food to your door? The classic joke is that Scots are a bit cheap....I am in Scotland and we always chuck the guy delivering my pizza at least a couple of quid....Shame on you!
