Is there a chance that wifi disrupts some critical system? Could it also be the case that nobody in their right mind would trust that you *know* it's disabled? Maybe you do, but how about the old lady sitting next to you that really wants to finish the chapter in her Sue Grafton book? Personally, I wouldn't trust anyone while sitting in a chair 30,000 feet in the air.
I'm a 2nd year student at a large Canadian university (large for Canada, that is) and I'm doing a double major in Comp Sci and Biology.
I just completed a first year intro to bio course, with a class of about 60. I estimate that about half of my classmates brought laptops on a daily basis. Out of those, somewhere around 1/3 to 1/2 were mac. 3 of us (that I noticed) use Linux (2xUbuntu,1 unknown) and the rest were assorted netbooks and fullsize windows machines.
As for the university itself, nearly 100% of the public machines in the libraries are Solaris, and the upper year CS labs are a mix of Solaris and Linux/Unix boxes. The distributed computing lab and our bit of Sharcnet is a blend of Linux and, um, as far as I know, Linux.
I don't know if that's a good enough sample size, but I see adoption continuing at a slow but steady pace.
I don't care if Windows dies, because it's dead to me.
So is incessant war mongering a trait you look for when you enter the voting booth? How is developing weapons and using them on others an indicator of enlightenment? If all information was free and open, then maybe some countries would spend more time brokering peace and improving the world instead of making sure that they are able to crush their enemies first.
I don't understand blind nationalism. I love where I live, but if the politicians here get much worse, I'm either leaving the country or revolting. We're all the same after all, despite our great number of differences.
Perverts? What's the point in having a very expensive pornography table that you have to hold flimsy paper over? You not only lose the use of your hands, but you also lose the advantage of being able to keep your perversion to yourself. Are you going to hide your Secondlight table between your mattress and boxspring?
Now if they can make a table that can project 160,000 incrementally different images to 160,000 discreet depths(appx 30/inch), I would totally buy one. Who hasn't dreamed of watching a feature film on a piece of paper, while slowly walking backwards. They're revolutionary!

Most kids are not taking Macs to school.
