California Assemblyman Lloyd Levine proposed a ban on using incandescent lightbulbs in all comic strips. When a character has an idea, the proposed legislation would require cartoonists to instead draw a series of fluorescent tubes powered by a solar array.
The issue is that the world largely is unaware or ignores Linux. How many of your neighbors have ever heard of Linux? I doubt if any of mine have. How many have heard of Microsoft or Apple? Most of them. To consumers, money and marketing talk. Neither XP/Vista nor OSX is completely unusable and both have considerable marketing efforts behind them. Linux may be solid and stable and have the hearts and minds of many developers and IT folks around the globe, but the average Joe simply doesn't care about it and most companies are going with the product that has a real company behind it that they can reach out and touch. I think Linux is cool but MS and Apple aren't likely to falter at this point. The Linux desktop, for most people, is probably a curiosity at best, unfortunately.

like Han Solo, imagine what he'd do if he got his hands on some props from one of the A-list characters...
...like a pair of Jar-Jar's ears.
Meesa don't think he's getting a date with those either.
