In this economy that's 3 weeks. I'd rather call in sick.

Because of work. I'm a software developer and one in a while I'm forced to develop stuff using Google software. Also developers search the internet a lot to speed things up, you can use an alternative for Google but usually not getting the best results. Now I can live with that, but my boss doesn't like it if I take more time to finish my work just because I refuse to use Google :p

Yep, pure evil. Trying to use as less of Google's stuff as possible, which is easier said then done.

Used be the Chinese government.

Is Linux meant for the average user then?
