A simple solution that penalizes preventative measures.
I'd rather have sick people be able to stay home while contagious and doctor visits be feasible. It really sucks when everyone else is bringing in the horrible disease-du-jour courtesy of their school kids.
Sorry if you got your conspiracy hat and robe on, but the OLPC XO doesn't run hot, it can barely run luke-warm. A low power system with a (for a laptop) tiny battery and a thick plastic case without any air/heat vents is not going to make it much above room temperature and even if it did all the guts (aside from the battery, keyboard, and trackpad) are with the screen.
The working class works, that's what they're there for, someone needs to produce something of value for the rich, err sorry, the "middle class" to exploit.
The rich get richer and the poor get children. It's not just a line from a book but a way of life that must be maintained (whether the poor like it or not).
Ah yes, the reason why commercial software is still king: the OS community.
Thank you open source geeks for driving anyone mildly interested in an alternative to commercial software right back and now with a seething hatred for open source.
My iPhone 4 has problems if I hold it wrong. It also says 'Samsung' and is a flip phone, but according to/. only iPhone 4s have problems with being held incorrectly so my phone must somehow be an iPhone 4.
You might want to talk to the peoples that pissed off Rome back in the day. They may have only been Known World Wars to us but they were World Wars for them.
Because it is an excuse to not vote until something very unlikely happens. They aren't too lazy to vote, they just won't vote until it is open source, etc. etc. and so on.

I wonder if he has a follow up class on how to say "It's open source, fix it yourself".
Damn, that must be one huge screen to have all those up and readable at once.
Perhaps they count "desktop replacement" behemoths as actual laptops or they're expanding laptop to include luggable and portable.
So are you a recent convert or a dyed-in-the-wool zealot? It's hard to tell those two apart.
It's a Taco Apple story so it's got to be either a troll or plain wrong (or both).

*Reform in name only. Does not contain any actual reform. Void where prohibited.
So you want your vote to be a certified winner and you're not going to vote until it happens?
The republicrats have definitely bought you.
First, scoff.
Second, are we supposed to care more since the victim is female, and very obviously so, in both your cases?
Third, using "think of the children" is an automatic loss during an argument.
Google good, Apple bad. That's why this is news.
For extra points, pick the one of the two that's actually deleted apps off of handsets.
CNN and Fox are trying to break into Comedy Central's market. Sooner or later they'll even be having news and interviews.
Prepare to be modded to hell.
Droidbois have issues with anyone that mentions BOGOs and their precious OS.

"In an instant they could wipe it from existence or do whatever they want with it."
So you're saying it's like Android then?
True, it's hard to hack something that's not on the market or not worth it for things that have a minuscule market share.
But your honor, his identity was right where he left it, I couldn't have stolen it.
What I want to know is how can you be so dense without affecting local gravity in such a way to be detected by scientists.

Once you drink the Free Market kool-aid Profit is your prophet and you shall have no other gods or prophets.
I doubt that was posted from a Foxconn free computer.
I'm surprised the government didn't censor that and send you off for re-education.
Or maybe all the political paranoia of the last 70 years didn't come true.
Then RMS rides in on his gnu brandishing his katana and saves the day.
