I really like that these countries have the determination to use linux laptops to help increase there education levels, it will benifit everyone. In the short term the production lines get busy making the laptops ready to be uses, and it will promote using open source software and Linux which could mean more and better tools out there for us eventually. But it could also breed us more scammers, damn them wasting so much of out time.
It's not hard for something to come up as restricted at a grocery store it, in fact its really easy for those mistakes to happen. I used to work for a grocery store chain, and they used software to read the product description as it was entered to determine restrictions, Ginger Ale was always comming up restricted because it had the word ale, just like rubbing achohol did, I bet you all can geuss what word set it off there. One of my favorite items that came up restricted was Budwieser holiday glasses. Also some stores us the restriction on quantity so that one person can't buy them out of a sale item, or so that they dont loose so much money on their draw items which they usualy make little on at best.
We all should just unplug our ethernet cables right now, I have the feeling that with MS entering the market with antivirus software that less information will get out about how to fix things. Now when MS screws with their antivirus and Windows it will take longer to get things to work right because who would wanna use MS's bloatware antivirus.
Did the vcr kill ad supported tv, no, did commercial advance on newer vcrs kill it no, so why the hell would tivo do the job.

Alright one step closer to being a Borg like 7 of 9 I could like that. Just need to get a wearble computer now and find a place to plug it in. Now the only way that it could be better is if they made it absorb the fat from all the food I eat, that way I could power the entire house.
Now only if they could ban telemarketers, and email spam the world would be a better place. All of us will be so much happier that we dont awnser the phone just to get some one annoying us and wasting our lives. Also it would be nice to see a nation wide anti-cellphone spam ban, but calif. was a great start.

Aren't all games, and new pieces of hardware plug and pray in windows so it doesnt seem so bad that the app for linux gaming is the same.

I don't think its any more dangerous than the navigation systems in many cars now, now if they could make it talk to warn of problems.
