I have no idea why mrsteveman1 finds Mac hardware attractive at listed price. I am just pointing out that he doesn't have to run OSX if he doesn't want to.

Well, did you try to expect more from your girlfriend than fucking you 1-2 times a week? Like dressing sexy, stopping sitting all day yapping with girlfriends on the phone and so on and on. After all, human relationships are supposed to have depth. It's no fun hanging around with someone who is messy and doesn't talk to you much. If all you are interested is sex without any effort on your part to make yourself attractive, by all means dump your girlfriend and find a good hooker. Why would you want to spend your life being a slave and waste time on things you are not interested in.

It's a pretty dubious practice to determine legality and spaminess of content by file type. I am sure it will not take spammers long to send wav, wma or aac promotions instead. In the meantime, file shares can trade mp3.bz2 files. Already we have to send.zippy attachments to each other here because all zip files are blocked as virus carriers.
As I said, fix the maximum percentage of income that a company has to spend on accessibility. Open escrow accounts to deposit money for projects that require accumulated "tax" from many years of operation.
I sure expect Bill Gates to pay higher dollar amount of tax than me.
I totally agree that Target should be made to both install wheelchair ramps and to have a fully accessible text-only/semantically annotated version of their website. The question is, should I be forced to do the same thing with my home business. If so, it will never take off the ground as I don't have $100K to build an elevator to my home office or make my restrooms wheelchair-accessible. Neither do I have money to hire blind or color blind to test my website or buy expensive accessibility software/hardware for QA. Given that handicapped are a niche market, they would be shooting themselves in the foot (if applicable) by destroying small businesses and setting up rules that only corporate giants can follow.
Let's at least limit the money that a business has to spend on accessibility to some percentage of it's income.
Not only are most mass e-mails spam, but pushing a message with multiple image attachments to tens of thousands of users is a huge waste of bandwidth. Let's reserve e-mail for personal, one to few communication. Companies can use RSS or some similar mechanism to get their newsletters out.
Blaming a US soldier serving in Iraq for Iraq war would be like blaming a child soldier recruited by some band of rebels in Africa. After all, army is allowed to recruit children and emancipate them.

Would you rather police shoot some middle aged black guys tires and potentially kill him, or guide his car to a controlled stop? "Children" part is not key here, the problem is killing people who are simply trying to run away.
Would you rather police shoot some teenagers tires and potentially kill him as well as innocent bystanders in a resulting accident or guide the car to controlled stop? The technology to stop cars within a policeman's sight are already there and heavily used. I am more worried about GPS-based tracking, especially since it may not be immediately obvious to the driver.
The challenge and thrill of developing a brand new human society? Exploring virgin terrain never seen by humans before? Extreme sports - think of climbing moon's mountains. The joy of jumping up and doing multiple somersaults before landing?
I am pretty sure only scientists will be allowed in the first settlement though, unless some crazy multi-billionaire helps to bankroll the project.
The essence of a capitalist economy is to get people to do as much work for you as possible, by paying as little money as possible. Certainly, when people are willing to work for free, as in gift or pay-it-forward economy, it's an ultimate of market efficiency and an excellent value for end users getting a hard drive and hundreds of free applications. It is however, bad news for Microsoft or anyone else planning on selling operating systems as their employees will probably not work for free. They can try to compete on quality, but that seems unlikely for this particular company.
The chinese plan would work better if participation in the program was voluntary and limited to expert blacksmiths.
This is similar to countless computers that had BASIC in ROM and has the same problems. Sure it's convenient, but what people want to do with computers changes every year while ROMs stay the same. Will this thing support IPV6? Browsing the web over corporate VPN? External network adapter/monitor/scroll mouse? Silverlight?
Modern hard drives just take a second to read 4GB, a reasonable size for a quckstart Linux partition. And a PC builder can easily include an internal flash drive with hardware write protection switch. I wouldn't pay any more for this product than for a comparable motherboard without this feature.
It's a concept of sortof-but-not-quite communist Federation. To buy the good stuff, you need to first obtain some hard currency, such as gold-plated latinum.
Are you under the impression that children in developing countries are deprived of viewing nudity and sex? How do you think babies are breastfed? How do girls of their own age swim when they van not afford those fancy swimsuits? Where are their folks doing "it" in a shack sans multiple bedrooms?
Prudishness is an american problem. And here viewing pr0n can be argued to have educational value more important than math.
So sounds like you are only waiting for cheaper and more powerful FPGAs? I guess the programming equipment doesn't have to be that cheap - an online service that mails you ones programmed to your schematics would do.
I wouldn't say anything if TFA didn't characterize OLPCs as "cool", "fun" and "good for learning". If that was true, it would be marketable in US Walmart to parents who can not spare more than $200/child for a computer or else are looking for one they wouldn't miss much if their children manage to destroy it despite the rugged design.
If instead this is a gimmick that nobody would use if they can afford a real laptop, project leaders should just come out and say so honestly.

Here we go, this should help you make a homebrew device of your choice way more powerful than what you did in 80s. Given that the price of the kit is fairly low, there is nothing stopping you from selling programmed devices as accessories for commercial products.
So what stops you for buying a Mac, installing Windows or Linux and making those changes that Apple prevents you from doing in OSX?

Here, fixed it for you.

So they should be safe if their products work as well as typical spam.

Are you saying that spiked tires never lead to traffic accidents that injure or kill the driver, innocent/minor passengers, policeman and bystanders?
Would you rather police shoot some middle aged black guys tires and potentially kill him, or guide his car to a controlled stop? "Children" part is not key here, the problem is killing people who are simply trying to run away.
