Linux still has a long long way to go, despite the optimism. It sucks, but its reality, getting sick of reading these 'upstart OS poised to take over' articles, they've been floating around for years.
I think its incredibly naive of you to even suggest that computers are the solution to the problems of the third world. Sure they may play a minor role in helping third world countries manage limited resources, but putting them in class rooms? Your talking about the affordability of software when these people don't have the basic necessities of life?
Turn off your computer, go outside, take a long pleasent walk, contemplate, and don't log back in till you realise there is more to the world then 1's and 0's.
Third world countries need food, water, shelter and peace NOT computers. Regardless, this is getting way off topic, would really like to see that article posted in it's own thread. Would be interesting to see if the/. crowd is as open minded as it thinks it is.
I truely wonder how dangerious cell phones actually are. It seems to me that if you look hard enough you can find a report or study that claims that any [RANDOM ACTIVITY OF CHOICE] is potentially harmful to your health. More scientific proof, less hype. Anyone have a link to actual radiation numbers for existing cell phones?

Hmmmm... then again that would cause yet another delay in the interenational space station, so perhaps that would'nt be amusing at all...
Neither the efforts of corageous people like the FLQ, eh?
Generally its bad form to refer to terrorists as "corageous people". You are'nt by chance a member of the Quebec Language Police are you?
