Real (TM) IT shops have change freezes all the time. It's called release management. Perhaps you should a) host on some more stable platform, or b) co-lo your own gear where you can run daily patches and reboots and only affect your own stuff.
If you're reluctant to lend them, don't. If you do lend, them, accept that you might not get them back. Technology is not the solution to this problem.
Instead of parking them in front of your TV or your smartphone & Netflix, why not interact with them? Read them a story? Make pictures with glue and macaroni? DO SOMETHING.
I have. I started with TMW. It gave you a means to launch a shell, and a shutdown option. Leave a little shell window open, and dump a few commands like "xterm &" and "firefox &" and you're done.
Why do you need transparent and wobbly windows again?
Linus can probably get a pass on this, but every time I read an article about being able to "configure" your WM, I have to wonder what people _do_ with their computers... do you use it as a tool to launch a browser or two, open an editor, maybe write a document? or do you (seemingly) endlessly futz with window drag effects, scrollbar pixel width, which hotkey launches your audio player, etc? There's a point where it's just masturbating.

If you can port Outlook to Linux, I'm in.
If you are able to make $10,000 more in sales, then the $3000 is cheap. The price is whatever the market will bear. Didn't you read The Octopus?
You know who else believed in a centrally-planned, government-run society?
Which itself runs a version of Linux. Has anyone ever cracked one of these open and looked at the code?

It sounds like a UUCP implemented at layer3.
For being a techno-iHipster? Seriously, who needs a $149 motion tracking wristband?
What if you just ramble on about .Net and quibble over which IDE is better, all the while saying words like "Scrum" and "Agile"?
Sure you'll get a job, but you won't ever actually produce anything.
Yeah...how how how how... how how how how ... at that base out at .... Lagrange (2) ......
If you have all that stuff, post-pockyclypse, there's going to be a lot of meaner, more badass people ready to take it from you.
But do you want to work for someone who doesn't know what Samba is?

Why troll about how the rest of the world is better than the US?

How can you not have a multi-day supply of diesel on hand?
So this is why girls aren't good at math?
It is essentially a floating head - your vorpal sword won't do anything special.
Nature finds a way. It sounds too good to be true, and it sounds like it's a researcher casting around for a grant.
So ARM is producing chips now?
Dear Slashdot, this is not a highschool paper.
Also, Roland Piquipaille is dead - please stop with the sensationalist, page-hit-generating crap.
If you think we live in a capitalist society, think again.
Thanks CN, for trying to remain relevant, and failing.
We are envious of what you have acquired, therefore we'll all team up and seize it.
