Linux saves the consumer and the company BIG money. Linux, with the correct software, is easy to administer. IBM dropping Linux support on their laptops could mean other things:
IBM knows alot of hardware support in Linux is legally questionable and maybe expects typical crazy and single John Doe in his appartment to waste his own free time to support IBM's hardware.
IBM is like a bunch of other companies by having a short-term finance study on all its products. Most companies don't look at the LONG-TERM benefits, down the line of a said product being mature. The Linux kernel itself is MATURE, but it's upto the user-mode software to bring the soccer players onto the field.
AND STOP SHOUTING! DO YOU THINK WE'RE ALL DEAF!!!????
...when I was a mere child-process of a mere 32 years old, I went to Wal-Mart and purchased Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition. I purchased Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition because I was verry entertained and satisfied with the Single-episode Demo Version released by 3DRealms. I whole-heartedly understand the ideals of many people to protect the un-scathed and warry eyes of children from disgusting ideas and images, and I would like to point-out that the publishers of Duke Nukem 3D, 3DRealms Inc, understood this issue far before even Wal-Mart graduated from PMS school.
3DRealms provided a "feature" to remove all occurences of nudity and bad language within "Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition" by use of a "adult-mode password." I think this is a great idea to give the CONSUMER the option of removing certain content of a software package... I think this should not be Wal-Mart's decision to make because Wal-Mart and its staff are NOT CONSUMERS as they sell a product in their stores to CUSTOMERS.
As I described earlier, I purchased "Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition", aka "Exhibit A", from Wal-Mart. Upon installing "Exhibit A", I noticed the lack of profane language and nudity within the game and the lack there-of caused the game's capacity to be lacking in comparison with the "Demo version" that I enjoyed and relished for its many entertaning dialogues and content. I tried to enable "adult-mode" and discovered I was unable and the game was indeed "modified" to prevent me, a mere child of 32, to experience the full capacity of "Exhibit A." After investigating this difficulty, I contacted a technical support representative of 3DRealms and the issue was apparant. "Exhibit A", purchased in Wal-Mart, was a "modified version under compliance with Wal-Mart standards."
Wal-Mart sells condomns, diaphragms, lube, latex gloves, and skimpy underwear, but does not allow me to see titties and hear ASS on my Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition! I promptly re-packaged "Exhibit A" for product return under the reasoning of "defective" and was denied refund and also was denied exchange. I understand Wal-Mart has standards on what products it sells. I also understand that Wal-Mart reserves its position as my master and I am the slave, a mere child of 32, a utility of the United States Corporation, an ignorant and well-educated consumer.
Wal-Mart has not seen the last of me. I will continue under-selling candy-bars, soda-pop, and llama feces outside their doors! This means war!
Did you watch the movie "20,000 leagues under the sea" and can you replicate the production of Havana-quality cigars from sea-weed?
Someone already brought the bowls and the cauldron of hot grits. We just need some smokes. There'll be plenty of conch snails at the "physically un-protected, but legaly protected" tidepools. We can pull the conchs from the shells and use the shells as bongs; but I dunno if there's enough snails 'cause they are quite endangered I understand.
On second thought, bring some PVC pipes and a pipe cutter; you make the bongs and thanks for your support dude.
Alan_Thicke, the world's greatest unknown and unseen Troll, dead at 1:35pm EST. And I quote:
One of the world's most encouraging trolls was pronounced dead today in his corroding adobe home. "Alan_Thicke was a great Troll", says a local homeless woman. "I will miss Alan_Thicke and I'll miss the smell." At approximately 1:35PM EST, neighboring trolls noticed a smell of cleanliness and upon investigating the source, were directed to the mound Alan_Thick occupied. "We just saw him there, and he smelt unlike anything else and so we buried him 'cause we know what is best for Alan_Thicke", says a local, scraggly and green-tinged, angry Troll that occupies a garbage can. A local construction business waived all liability due to the fact that one of their porta-jons had been placed upon Alan_Thicke's adobe home 3 months earlier and removed."

My bonified Chevy purrs like a sex kitten. In fact, my Chevy acts like a horny woman every time I start it. I lather the ignition key with lubricant, slip it up and down the key hole, insert the key slowly half-way, lather the key with some more lube, re-insert it all the way again, and turn the ignition for 0.5 seconds. The engine turns and it idles, waiting for me to push harder, harder, HARDER on the gas pedal. My Chevy loves humming. Whenever it is in neutral, I push the pedal harder to tease the engine and it purrs at me for more, more, more, YESSSS, OH YESSSS!!! I don't obey traffic laws, but when I have a full tank of gas, it is safer for me to hook on my seatbelt. I turn on the radio really loud and roll down my windows so everyone won't understand the noises that I and my car make in our ride of love. My Chevy is oh so hot on the beach. It loves the sea foam frothing on its hardened hubcaps and washing through its smooth American rubber rally wheels. She is such a hot ride, 1970 was a good hot year... I yell out the window as she switches gears each time
OH YES, COME ONE BABY,
OH COME ON YES HOT REALLY HOT
YOU LIKE IT, YOU LIKE IT,

Those Chinese cars are just plain ol' sucky fish. You chinese scrape them off the bottom with your gill nets. And along with scum-sucking fish, you happen to hoist upon your deck a rare crappy car made in China. You stupid people.
And so proves...
Anyone using "cracked" technology on a platform it was not released upon will be immediatly targeted, arrested, and receive many unwanted probes for information...anal probes provide just as much information as oral probes, and that especialy depends on how much of an off-topic bastard the investigator wants to be.
So, your occupation is a perl programmer. I'll consult the anus on that one... Oh, I see. I agree. And you say that by nighttime you are an uber slashdot troll? Ok, let me probe you for more information. Darn, I only have enough lubrication for 5 minutes more of questioning and we're just getting started...

A tragic day, indeed. I will miss Alen_Thicke.

The RMS troll won't join us if it isn't a Gnu game.

Hey NickRob.
Stop advertising your website. And you have bad English. Eat less food, and breathe less air, please.
Yes, ShwaheelyAsian is a car-kiddy.

The average slashdotter is homeless and LIVES in a movie theater. It's been that way ever since episode 1. Build it and we will come.
