Add to this that the Fed's policy of Quantitative Easing (basically printing more money and devaluing the currency) made it even easier to repay the loans and you have the basis for real anger.
How do you know this? I note that comcast.net is reporting on the wikileaks story: http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20101205/WikiLeaks/. In doing a search I find that "comcast blocking wikileaks" has but one meaningful result and that is a person referring to your post.
Many moons ago I was a kid who saw his first computer in college -- an IBM 360. I went full tilt nerd. By the time classes started I was working the hell desk at the computer center. I got there early and didn't leave till 3am. By the second year of undergrad study I was taking graduate classes in 360 assembly language and working on the Fortran compiler I/O routines for what we called mini computers (the size of a stand up fridge with "4096 twenty four bit words of core storage"). Shit we were using paper tape and punch cards.
I screwed off all my other classes. Hell, even my comp sci prof's were nuts, I got a 0.0 gpa in one class because the prof went nuts, tried to kill the head of the datacenter, and was locked in a white room unable to give grades. At the end of semester 4 I had a gpa of 0.16/4.00 and was the lead programmer in a successful project to redo the university's accounting setup from Autocoder into COBOL.
Then I got the word....VIETNAM. I had one summer term to get my grades up or go see exotic foreign lands. I say fuck football, the prospect of being shot will broaden your horizons.
Forty years later I'm looking at a 2:00 a.m. conclusion to upgrading 3 linux desktops. I run a small linux based hosting company, but disappear every summer to run a 90' commercial fishing boat in Alaska for 4+ months.
The threat of being shot works best when it comes to producing "cool nerds".
Intel announced today that it was investing $7bln to build new manufacturing facilities in the US to manufacture these chips.
The new facilities will be built at existing manufacturing plants in New Mexico, Oregon, and Arizona. Intel is estimating 7,000 new jobs will be created. BizJournals.com
The book How to Solve It by G. Polya is a classic must read. While it was given to me by one of math professors in undergraduate school it should not be over the heads of advanced high school students.
I've lived in Anchorage since 1975 and have seen at least 10 volcanic eruptions. The sky gets dark and ash falls. You don't fly airplanes when the ash is in the air. You clean your air filters on your vehicles after the ash subsides. If it is really bad you wash your gutters out after it's over. That's pretty much it.
I can still remember driving to work sometime in the late 80's during a moderate ash fall after an eruption and looking over at the guy in the car next to me. He had a respirator mask on! I thought WTF is this? Until that time I had never seen such a thing. I imagine if it were really bad a mask might be necessary, but really it's the same people who go nuts when someone smokes a cigarette within 100' of them that really freak out.
I think the only people "preparing" are those with severe respiratory problems, the hypochondriacs, the airlines, the vulcanologists and mostly and the press: "KILLER VOLCANO THREATENS YOUR BABY!"
As an attorney, I would suggest that there is already adequate support in the law for an action against Choice Point. As some posters have already noted, the cost of litigation would prevent individuals from suing separately--the solution in such cases is to file an action on behalf of all those affected. This is called a "class action".
Of course GWB is pushing for "Tort Reform" to eliminate class action lawsuits in the United States.
It doesn't require a tin foil hat to see why this is such a priority for him when a major ally to his campaign is clearly in the sites for such a lawsuit.

A boycott might actually have some positive effects. SCO, in a recent SEC filing, identified some of the "risks" involved in their operations. One specific risk mentioned was:
We rely on our indirect sales channel for distribution of our products, and any disruption of our channel at any level could adversely affect the sales of our products.
A first step toward a boycott would be to contact those distributors and let them know how you feel -- that you will not be doing business with them and will encourage your business associates to avoid them as well.
To that end SCO provides a list of their distributors. Here are their US distributors:

who had just engaged in a conspiracy to defraud the pension plans of half of the country. He wouldn't be charged much less extradited. What a country!

You'd just send stuff via "rail mail".

A bit of time with the Google reveals Red Hat Enterprise Healthcare Platform which likely is the reason for this being included.
A quick review of the literature shows that several hospital software vendors have been converting their offering to run on a RHL backend.
That's likely where the main open source offerings will appear, replacing mainframes with cheap linux server solutions, and some database apps.
