  1. Re:FUD on Maine School & Linux · · Score: 1

    Schools get incredible pricing on Windows and Office licenses. Something like $500 for Exchange 2000 and 1,500 CALS and $8 each for Office XP.

    Only if they are a huge school and buy enough "units" to be able to use the "select" licensing agreement. For a smaller institution 20 copies of Windows + Office is a fair amount of money.
    You can work it out here

  2. Re:maybe, but there is still something missing on Maine School & Linux · · Score: 1

    Perhaps if you had been taught something about linux in school then by now you would be able to get it working on your machine with half a Gig of RAM.

    For me it works fine on my laptop with 32Mb.

    It's not due to any special vulnerability in the browser.

    Ah, but it is. Do you see?

    Costs about $25.00 for the full version but the benefits are enormous. Windows Internet Explorer along with large swaths of unneccesary software can be fully removed

    Man, only $25 to have some of my software taken away.
    I really wish I had stuck with Windows all those years ago.:-)

    Calm down love, there's no need to get so excited. I thought you were going to go ALL CAPS on me there for a minute.

    Perhaps we can incorporate some kind of flashing border and sound effects of a zx spectrum tape loading while you wait for nautilus to load. Perhaps this would soothe your shattered nerves.

    "They've done many things to add bugs, make it slower, break compatibility of their fork with real KDE"

    Yup, Redhat want users to think their distribution is incompatible and full of bugs, that would be pure genius from a business point of view.
    Please try to avoid attributing characteristics of the squabbling Slashdot minions to companies in the real world.

    I guess it depends on how far away "tomorrow" is. If Televisions can display at 1600x1200 and 500GB nvram cards cost $100 then using a console as a computer would sound pretty cool to me.
