Let me get this straight... If a student installs something you don't want him to, you'll try and ruin his life in exchange... Ever heard of detention?
Fair enough. By basic functionality, I mean the hardware was appropriately configured. I.e. the ~ button was no longer coming out as <, the command/apple key was recognized, the wireless worked, the trackpad worked better (but not perfect), etc.
I dual boot Mac OS and Ubuntu now and I have to say I found it far easier to install than previous linux distributions I've tried. That being said, it took me hours of work just getting it up to what I would consider basic functionality.
To tamper with millions of paper ballots would require a massive conspiracy. To tamper with electronic voting machines, apparently all you need is a 16 year old kid and a computer.
You know the problem with people who have been around technology for a long time is when they go senile, their babble will change but most people probably won't be able to tell the difference.

Oh, ok so it makes the admins job a bit harder so the kid should be thrown on the street to rot instead of being punished appropriately.

But no one will still be there to hear it.
My god... they sell remote controlled KITT's. I think I'm in love.

I think thats highly unlikely as we are on the verge of obtaining the ability to write our own DNA as we see fit.
Those 1-4GB usb drives will be a joke in the not too distant future too.
The way GRRM kills off characters unexpectedly is one of his greatest strengths. I find his books much more difficult to predict than most.
Yes, trolling slashdot is a much more productive way to use your time.
I can almost hear the English professors foaming at the mouth.

Do they write these articles from scratch or do they have a program that just generates them from a template whenever Google makes an announcement?
Is your hairstyle distinctively pointy by any chance?
Did this sound dirty to anyone else?
Arthur: I'd notice the difference. Zaphod: No you wouldn't, you'd be programmed not to.
My ability to read slashdot at work has improved greatly over the years.
The Star Trek version of a teleporter is essentially a suicide booth. It rips you apart and then makes a copy on the other end. Do not want.
This guy needs to add a few letters to his last name so that he can be Stéphane Disastrous. Now thats a game developer's name.
Oh come on, the line "I'm a doctor, she's dead" in bend-her is one of my favorite scenes.
