Pre-med student Stubbins Ffirth (1784-1820) ate, drank, and breathed the blood, urine and vomit of yellow-fever victims (he also dropped the fluids into his eyes and worked them into cuts on his skin). He didn't get sick -- the patients were in a late, uncontagious stage -- so he erroneously decided the disease's cause lurked elsewhere.
is meant to tightly control the hardware and software that can be used, probably making any open-source implementation very difficult if not impossible.

It's no fun being an illegal alien
Snuck into India to ply my trade
found a cool job, thought I had it made

Once it starts where does it end. Our freedom to communicate could be severely restricted.

It needs to have a small Linux partition on the harddrive that will boot into X with some critical apps such as a browser, ftp client, wget, nfs etc.)
When the system boots it can present the user with a menu to install one of many distro's either from accompanying CD's or via some other method (i.e. web, ftp, NFS etc). It could also be used as a rescue OS. The manufacturer can script the install for their particular hardware so the user only has to answer the obvious questions such as their locale, username and passwords.

The question remains: Will the 3D-mode button only work with Windoze. The article says that it ships with Windoze XP.
Anything published in that rag should be highly suspect and taken with a grain of salt. The only thing worse than the G&M is perhaps the enquirer.
btw, I hear that the next edition of the enquirer features Darl Mcbride on the front page and something about his addiction to crack!
