I remember when I first began Engineering at my local university, many of the kids did indeed have laptops. But they're (by and large) laptops running WinXP or some Apple OS. When we began our C course, not one of them knew what gcc was, or how to use XEmacs (which is what the course instructors asked us to use). Even those with laptops used the computer labs throughout the entire term.
Personally, my laptop (running Ubuntu at the time) suffered a hard drive failure during the semester and I'm eternally thankful I had access to the computer labs during that time.
I'm still using KDE 4.2 RC1 right now, and I'll be sure to install the 'real' release in three days. I'm not switching to GNOME like some people, instead I'm reporting issues that I find. It's the only way KDE is going to get better, and I want a good KDE.
I used to use KDE 3 (Kubuntu) and I, somewhat recently, installed the latest version of Kubuntu with KDE 4. To be as clear as possible: KDE 4 is a trainwreck. At first I took it in stride and figured that a brand new release might be a little buggy, no harm. I'm using KDE 4.2 RC1 now and it's still horrible.
Call me crazy, but I'd wager that the popularity of a title is a huge factor. More people want to play a EA or Microsoft Games title than something from an indie developer (usually), and thus a higher percentage of pirated copies of the former will be in use, thanks to the larger amount of interest in the game.
Personally, I've never heard of World of Goo before.

Fuck Wizards. Tons of companies are capitalizing on this bonehead move by offering discounts.
Hell, White Wolf is offering the Exalted core book for free until Saturday.

I'm giving up mod points to point this out, but you can install IE on Linux.

Indeed!
For those not in the know, the Latin pronunciation of Caesar is "k-eye s-ah-r". Compare to the German 'Kaiser' or Russian 'Tsar/Czar'.
I agree fully.

It's called hyperbole.
