I beg to differ. If anything, sexbots will bring back the meaningful relationship. After an adolescent spends his formative years satiating himself 3 times a day with his sexbot, he'll be dying all the things his sexbot cannot provide. And for those men who are insatiably shallow, and can spend their life with nothing but a sex bot -- well, I'm sure most women would agree its nice to have them off the market.

I already use my computer to watch movies, TV shows. My LCD monitor seems fast enough to handle it, and the quality is awesome. With a card like this, and a DVD drive, who needs a TV any more?
One little perk of technological progress is that the price of technology relative to the cost of human labour goes down over time. So it will only become easier to satiate your employees with the latest and greatest toys.
On the other hand, a bloated management structure will become more and more costly. Hooray for progress!
Nothing is more distracting than a web browser. And virtually every programmer has got one. How many people reading this comment right now should be working?
It's even worse if you do web programming for a living. There is no hope.
These kids have little enough time as is with a computer, the cost of an less-than-stable OS far outweighs the cost of training the computer teachers in Linux. Also, most computer teachers I know would train themselves in their spare time.
Note also that this province is *bragging* about their 15:1 computer-to-kid ratio. These student don't have much time on their computers, and if they're anything like the kids I know, they have an intense desire to poke and prod just about everything. Not a good combination with an OS that gives a page fault in Kernel32.dll at a sneeze. I know I would find that discouraging.
In fact I did, that's why I run debian myself!
I've had an old older model travelmate with fingerprint recognition for over 6 months now.
I don't use it because I'm worried I won't be able to get back in. (apparently even different levels of grease on your fingers can throw off the sensor)
If you use it for you hard drive, and you get locked out, you have to ship the drive back to the manufacturer so they can physically reset it.
