Why even have a button to uninstall a paid product?
Because you paid when the app was new and good. Three or for "bug fixes" later, it has become a thing of pure evil. A lot of developers seem to think a "bug fix" means installing a bug in the app.
if they can't connect to wifi on boot up, they'll be out looking for a new computer.
Well they had best avoid Windows ones, since Windows requires you to download the drivers for your Wifi card from the Internet using the Wifi that does not work without the drivers.
Sometimes you have to Google for help with Linux, but it is more use than trying to phone MS support, as well as cheaper. As for 3 days trying to sort out the Windows registration - well you could spend that watching Youtube on your new Linux install instead!
I gave up registering after I found that the "Windows genuine" reported my "PC World Business" purchase was fake, but the hand made CD I got from a guy in the computer fair was legit.
I have been buying Lenovos and running Linux on them since they took over Thinkpads. No problems at all. In fact I have two Thinkpads (one is a T21) that stopped running Windows, dead in its tracks. I was going to scrap it, thinking it was broken, but Linux installed first time with no issues. I have a T60 (or maybe T61) that did the same.
Most of my family claimed their Windows was broken (since 8 came out), and ask me to fix it - which I do by installing Ubuntu Mate. Some understand the nature of the "fix" and some don't. Most eventually come and ask about LibreOffice and I say "it was "Liberated" by (or from) Che Guevara" (or Frank Zappa or Al Capone, dependent on age and political views) and they are happy. No FARC suppporters in MY house - and if there were, they can go and use OpenOffice.
Some of Ned's mates smashed up automated weaving looms because they made a lot of weavers redundant. The plot was not very effective.
Eventually, the drop in price of cloth made by automated looms enabled the export of cloth to make England so rich it could afford an Empire*, and even the poor could afford to wear clothes. However, that was after two or three generations of abject poverty.
*Empires cost a lot of money. Sure they make a lot for a few, but in general, they eat money cos of the cost of the military.
would like to postpone it and separate the vaccines from each other in order to prevent autism in their children
I would like to postpone it to give my children super powers. However, I would not
a)because it wont give them superpowers
b)because they may die or be permanently damaged by not having the vaxines
Yes, I have met people who had polio, smallpox, etc., and NO there was never any link to autism whatever. It has been shown that the story came from a combination of bad data and a pathetically useless understanding of basic statistics. (Which is shared by most journalists).
The whole festering pile of dung was made worse by the BBC charter requiring both sides of a story to be represented equally, regardless of the fact that one side is the position of a gang of gibbering nutcases, and the other is presented by the people who went and found out the facts. (I am not sure this problem is completely fixed).

Where is Don King when you really need him? And who will play James Brown?
Enquiring minds need to know!
He doesnt need to. His people are doing it for Him. Or against Him - depending on your interpretation of the pig's intestines.
I think you should release it as a ringtone!
No - because Edubuntu is not designed for Education!
You give me $5k, stick the other $5k in your pocket, and the kids can use Ubuntu. Sounds fair to me!

I'm not sure I understand. Could you re-frame that simile as a car metaphor?
Car analogy: McDonalds food is like what you find at the bottom of the sump.

You need a degree to be a nurse in the UK too.

Now there is an idea that would Really save lives!
You need at least 5TB of data to get one A4 page of any interest to anyone - and that probably means a little league supporter.
You might want to check the current price of palm-grease.
And in keeping with the tradition of trials for witchcraft, the one who dies gets the job!

So lets call it "Less's Law".
Yup. No need to test Gartner's DNA to know they are unfit for purpose.
but not as we know it!
Probably 50% of the data is complete rubbish - due to errors during a software upgrade or two, or something similar.
You know that. I know that. But just try explaining it to the local Plod.
