I believe that sometimes it could be better when a minority group of dissidents are able to dictate a form of government (for instance, to replace tyranny which has been instituted and sustained by a brainwashed majority).
Democracy isn't necessarily the ultimate good. Imagine three wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner....
As a embedded software developer who does a lot of telecommuting I can assure you telecommuting is not all it is cracked up to be.
On the home front, things tend to get muddled up and it's difficult to keep home and work life separate. Make sure to set up an office in a separate locked area so you can "leave the office" for the day.
I find that a good balance is to mix it up, spending about half the time at my place, half at the "real" office.
Beware the pitfalls of jealous and politically inclined co-workers who haven't been permitted to telecommute because they are perceived as slackers by management.
Nothing is free. The cost of the fdisk'ed Microsoft garbage is factored into the system and provides revenue to Microsoft from customers who may not wish to buy Microsoft products.
Blame Dell, not Microsoft. Dell shows itself to be a spineless puppet of Redmond.

Make sure to check out the details of the EJ-22 turbofan. It contains technology which will forever change the face of civilian (and military) aviation.
Among its innovations, this engine uses foil air bearings with PS-304 high-temperature lubricant developed by NASA.

Ok, so maybe it's a difference in scale
For instance, let's compare Kent State and Tiananmen Square.
Linux fanatics would probably embrace Uncle Joe if he used MNL,
No but every opportunity to give China hell for theirs is golden.
hehe, you got me :-)
Don't get carried away admiring the Chinese government and institutions for these "innovations" quite yet.
Free Tibet, then let's talk about basic human rights for the people of China.
Remember, this is an extremely oppressive government that will use technology to harm people. I hope they fail.
