No, you don't understand. What if the thieves do this and knock the hospital completely offline but for some old dial-up modems they use for CC terminals?
What makes you think a meth-head copper thief is 1) literate when he's desperate for junk, and 2) going to be able to read in the night while he's digging up the line?
Congrats, you can point to one statistic (without, oddly, sharing your data or any citation, or even logging in) that you claim backs up your prejudices.
I suspect you'd find that most of these idiots repeating the "death panel" meme are those who themselves would have let Hawking die as a young academic, to save money.
Also they'd have to spend money hiring support personnel, because it wouldn't be just tech geeks who'd buy the things. A couple hundred dollars or less is in the Walmart demo's price range.
I could see them maintaining their own patches for it. They did that with previous LTSes (definitely 6.06) once the bundled version of Firefox had gone EOL.

The pro-hemp community gets ignored, in my experience, because a lot of them have the ulterior motive of getting marijuana legalized.
Whether or not MJ legalization is a good thing (I'm not necessarily against it), it's the odor of dishonesty coming off them.
Just for argument's sake: the petro-fertilizer used to grow corn almost certainly does not include the fractions used to make gasoline.
Nuke it from orbit: it's the only way to be sure.
And? I paid the contract price; the carrier got its money back and then some. The phone by itself is obviously worth more than $5.
It's the same sort of artificially distorted used market you see in college textbooks here in the States.

One wonders how the machine will deal with thieves who've just stolen someone's newish iPhone.
that's what my 2-year-old feature phone was worth used.
Oh, hey, an internet libertarian who accuses people who disagree with him of worshiping the state. Never seen /that/ before.

Shit. Imagine that happening if the hospital's doing some kind of remote surgery over their fiber link.
This is a rumor posted on a blog. Really, Slashdot?
Why don't you change Google's icon to Sergey Brin as a Borg while you're at it?
You're under the misapprehension that Obama's a liberal.
From a third party that nobody's ever heard of. Sure.
Nothing doing until Mozilla releases their own MSIs and group policy stuff.
Huntsman's a 1%er too, you know. He's not batshit crazy and seems able to respect those he disagrees with, but he's certainly rich.
Funny how you only complain about it when you disagree with the opinion posted.
Maybe you could add to the discussion and suggest alternative reasons why idiots repeat the "death panel" lie instead.

Your post is contemptible.

It's a laptop, and it's able to get on the Internet without further modification. People don't need to put them together first.
Don't be thick.
RPs aren't general-purpose laptops, idiot, and the general population isn't apt to use them to get on Facebook.
Also they'd have to spend money hiring support personnel, because it wouldn't be just tech geeks who'd buy the things. A couple hundred dollars or less is in the Walmart demo's price range.
The story submitter routinely makes politically-motivated comments, so this isn't exactly surprising.
Wrong. William the Bastard and his men spoke Norman French.
I should quit bothering; you must be trolling with all those "facts" you pull out of your ass.
1066 and all that. You're not speaking Old English with only Anglo-Saxon words anymore, idiot.
Slack gives you a nice command line environment, but it's not worth my time anymore until its package manager can resolve dependencies.
I understand it's basically just Patrick running his own distro (and it's pretty good for that), but still.
