hype aside, i think the big problem is that people use computers for reasons other than "productivity". these reasons include:
standardisation/reproducability
surveillance
recreation
as for "productivity", its a largely bogus concept anyway. the purpose of the capitalist enterprise is to provide a comfortable life for the various people who run it, just as in any other bureaucratic institution.
right. productivity falls because of "race norming", "sex norming", and people in human resources refusing to beat people over the head. you seem to be suggesting that things would go better if we kept things as white as possible.
maybe you went back to the data centre because no one wanted to work for you.
as far as i'm concerned, that it works well is just frosting on the cake. i kinda like it that free software erodes the concept of property. what's more anti-establishment than that?

"We aren't anti-establishment. We're anti-crash..."
