I enjoyed the ending to the Battlestar Galactica series. I know there were some missed opportunities but the writer's strike had an impact.

This was always what he intended. Get people to quit instead of paying redundancy when he has to reduce the work force. Classic stuff done by many big orgs over the years. Make the place shit to work at and people quit for you.

Bingo. I also suspect they're gambling on it being a failure. Hard ball behaviour if true but a failure of such a privatisation would be very high profile and likely put a stop to anything similar for a long time.

Also note that failures to meet agreed standards will have penalties so it might be possible for labour to force them out that way.

These are great, but there is a surprising lack of dicks.

You know, there was a much shorter range version of this that was predominantly used in offices and college computer rooms. It was called FrisbeeNet.

Ok so I just watched that with the audio off cos I'm in a waiting room. I was confused by the commentary. The words sort of fit, then I realised the subs were song lyrics. Arguably made it even more fun to watch.

What you need is a metal rod suspended by magnets. You can put all the chokers on it like hoops on a pole. Then you can just take from one end and put back at the other. Or sort through them I suppose.

Go look at the northern ireland troubles. There are other similar situations in history but that's a good example. Essentially you have to get people talking until they agree to peace. Violence of any type just fuels more conflict.

I suspect Israel just wants to wipe out its enemies. That can't be done so they will have to stop one way or another.

What an image. But explains the penis level dents I see in toilet door frames sometimes.

Interesting. That's not what happens on mine. I have to actually click into the password box on the primary screen if I want to use that one. Password entry works on both screens so doesn't really matter which I use, it is just a cosmetic thing that bothers me.

The prompt screen is the same on both monitors. But the typing cursor is in the password box on the secondary monitor.

I had a go at setting the kwin primary using another method but I'll have a look at copying the settings across like you said.
