Car makers deal with optional engine types and other optional features. Why can't computer OEMs.
Because of the support nightmare it would cause when Joe Sixpack discovers he can't run his $10 game from Walmart on his new Linux-preinstalled computer (and he chose Linux because he didn't know it wasn't Windows, and he was cheap).
I doubt the students will have the know how to hack linux.
Not right away maybe, but I'd give it a week to a month before someone hacks it and lets the rest of the school in on how to do it. Like when I showed my whole school how to use web proxies to get around the filter (now this was with the desktops at the school, if you're giving these kids laptops to take home there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop the smart ones from using the computer however they want). Better just not lock down the machine at all because your efforts are futile.
On the latter point, I was not sufficiently clear - if someone either temporarily or permanently lacks funds for cocaine, LSD, or heroin, because of the strength of the addiction of those drugs, they are much more likely to commit violence to get funds (or the drug itself) than less-or-non-addictive drugs (like pot, alcohol, cigarettes, etc).
LSD is not addictive at all. It is possible to get carried away using LSD but there is never a physical dependence. On the other hand Nicotine cigarettes are very addictive.

Then why is NVIDIA trying to build a CPU themselves, if it's a decaying business?
I can't speak for anyone else but I play video games so I can shoot people in the nutsack.
That's interesting, because in most games you're supposed to shoot the head.

This is exactly how Cydia works on the iPhone.
It is an iPhone front-end to APT, and a much better alternative to the closed-source Installer.app.
