Why would I deliberately choose an OS that was different than my other OS, especially if I were to be transferring documents and presentations I wrote on the airplane back to my main computer?
Maybe they are only putting Linux on completely new systems, and old systems are getting OpenOffice when they need to be serviced. My work computer is at least 6 years old. It might get replaced next month with the new fiscal year.
And even then, if you're typing fast enough or the keys are close enough together you won't be able to guess the password by watching the keyboard. Hell, I'm sitting right in front of the keyboard and I still can't look through my hands to see which keys my fingertips are actually pressing.
...no input is recorded in anyway on the screen. Now that's a usability nightmare when you can't even backspace to correct your errors.
Yes you can. And I don't just mean "hit backspace more often that you have characters in your password".
You know you need a new password when you can correct a typo without screen output.
And IBM used to be where Microsoft is today. Now, they are one of the biggest supporters of open source.
Things change, given enough time. Is Ford's current leadership the same leadership it had back then?
I've never seen anyone think of the possible benefit to women in these conversations.

The editors get unlimited mod points. And they use them.

Because your other OS doesn't run on ARM.
I have 10 years worth of email on their servers.
POP3, anyone?
Not that you should abandon Yahoo Mail just because you can... I'm just saying them having your email archive is little deterrent.
I don't think I'd recommend Firefox on a computer with those specs--it wouldn't work particularly well.
My work machine disagrees with you.
I doubt these Senators know that. Why not tell them?

TVB aims to use the new HTML5 features, more specificly the and tags with the ogg/theora video and audio formats.
Youtube's html5 test page didn't use ogg, last I checked, and Wikimedia's content has limited entertainment value.
In what ways did the Bush administration cover for them?
I think, it would be dishonest to conceal one's hostility toward Microsoft, pretending to be "neutral" while you are not.
I see it more as:
The author should make an attempt to actually be neutral. Using 'M$' shows a lack of effort towards that end.
It also helps that they can't make profits off of anything but the age old product that is Windows.
I am under the impression that their OS profits are relatively meager compared to what they make from Office.

No, not the odd Macintosh...
I agree. There is nothing odd about Macs being in for repairs. I've got 7 to work on right now.
I spent 30 minutes doing uninstalls.
Only 30 minutes? I envy you.
No TrackPoint?
Laptops still have those?
Build aesthetics that make my phat NintendoDS look slim and elegant?
Not all of us care how our machine actually looks.
MS Office's slideshow app is PowerPoint. Incidentally, it is almost synonymous with 'slideshow'.
OpenOffice's slideshow app is Impress.
adding layers of abstraction adds a speed penalty...
Some of us still have 512 MB machines at work.
If the guiding signal is missing, the satellite stops beaming power and starts using that power to adjust it's position.
Are there any purely electric space propulsion systems?

Quoted on Slashdot... It must be true!
There are. Those that understand trinary, those who don't, and those that mistake it for binary.
Coca Cola Announcement: Pepsi's own study confirms that 'once was enough' for Coca-Cola bottlers.

Basically, open source projects that weren't initiated by a commercial vendor suck.
Most major linux distribution are descended from either Slackware or Debian.
