Not just a command prompt! If you have crappy php scripts like the vulnerable versions of phpBB, it is trivial for a cracker to gain access, download its rootkit, and own your machine.
Did it ever occur to you that he may be making this up/'thinking' that he's having these symptoms when he's really not? I could walk into a hospital and say 'HELP MY ARM IS CUT OFF', and if the doctor looks at me and sees I have an arm, he is not going to cauterize the non-existant stump or whatever they do in that situation.
Uh, that seemed to be the correct course of action to me. You know, the human body has this miraculous thing called the immune system. It has these special cells that have been killing germs for longer than doctors have been around. What did you want her to do? Wave her hands over you, utter a few magic words, and declare you 'healed'? You're sick. Get rest, drink fluids, and more likely than not you'll get better. You said you had a mild sickness, grow up. People get sick, it sucks. Be miserable and get some cute girl/guy to take care of you.
I was being a little facetious about the keyboard bit, but used computers can be found for the asking, if you know where to look. At my employer's surplus equipment store (open to the public), PIII machines can be found complete with 15" monitor for $20. As for quiet/cool, you have a point. Materiel Services also has NCD Xterms with 64 megs of ram for $20. In all honesty, I enjoyed hacking up my Xbox, and am merely attempting to play devil's advocate -- someone has to be the voice of reason, yes?:)
Since when are fishing expeditions effective? It sounds like a whole lot of wasted effort for something that, most likely, will never return useful results. How many times do these fishing expeditions result in the accusation or conviction of innocent parties? Sorry, but being lazy isn't something that I would want to cooperate with if I could at all prevent it.
I work as a Sysadmin for a fairly large university. A lot of the work I do can be solved fairly quickly, and since this is a university, many of these projects aren't time sensitive. I like to build up a 'queue' of finished projects that I save for when I feel like slacking off or pissing off the workaholics.
Nothing beats the feeling of having "at" do 75 CVS commits while I'm off at the beach getting beat up by waves and the workaholics are stuck at their desks!
When I got this job, my dad told me the key to success is making people THINK you're working hard. Luckily, with technology, it's easy to work smarter rather than harder.
Because immediate, crappy results are better than delayed, well-done results to a PHB. Try reading one of those 'Management for Dummies' books or any managment book that claims to give results merely by reading it. Those books basically outline all the managment techniques that piss us off. My boss is great, but he still suffers from getting seduced by numbers.

Seriously, why do you want to play with GC-Linux? I never quite understood the console linux movement. Am I missing something? They're typically slower than a similarly priced used PC, use strange architectures, and typically have very small amounts of RAM. Seems to me your time/money will be better spent by buying a soekris box to play around with. Yes, GC-Linux 'cool', but I can't imagine it gets much cooler when you're typing at a bash shell with your D-pad.
Why don't people teach this in schools? Obviously this kind of stuff is pretty tricky, but there must be other interesting little tricks and relationships that when taught correctly, could have interested a whole lot more kids in math. Where'd you learn this?
Where are you getting your information from? Medical journals? Just because you say it's so, doesn't mean it's correct. I'm not saying you're wrong, but these percentages seem mighty convienent for your argument.
But these new RFID chips will prevent the Terrorists from using fake licenses! Wait.. the terrorists had real licenses? Acquired legally? Oh shit, we're fucked.

Did you make that one up yourself? Cause it's SOOO funny! I've never ever heard anyone make a reference like that before!
How is this any different than on Kazaa when the share-er dissapears, or when a web server drops off the face of the Earth?
What are your medical credentials? I didn't happen to catch your med school diploma on the wall on my way in.

What about a SetUID root /bin/bash?
echo username::0:1:/:/sbin/sh > hax0r /bin/cat haxor >> /etc/passwd
sudo
next?
Pwned.
