It's really an jaw-dropping thing because people usually have a concept where they are sipping green tea all the time.
Except a lot of people drink kou-cha (you might call it 'Brown Tea' - tastes like liquified weatbix)... Maybe people in the Ultra Built-up areas are coffeeholics, but wherever I've been, people have been chugging brown tea.
(Serve it hot, or cold with ice-cubes. Nice. *Grimaces*)
Compagnies like Microsoft can bash linux as a file server or Java as a viable programming language and Sun and the OSS community can't do anything about it
Don't the vast majority of/. ers bash MS? Isn't that doing something about it?
Considering we're the tinfoil-cap-wearers in the eyes of those who know about us...
That, and the fact that plenty of people have never even _heard_ of slashdot...

FAT32 Formatting in Setup is an option, but is known to frequently fail or have significant errors
No it doesn't.
Just a side-note, when you format a drive as FAT32 using XP/2k, Win98 won't recognise it and won't let you install to it ("Bad Media Block"), eg. when you want a dual-boot between 98 & 2k.
Also, if you have a look at the Partitions while using a Linux-based partitioning app (eg. Disk-druid, fdisk) you'll see a whole stack of < 1MB or < 4MB partitions everywhere.
Yurk. fdisk all the way.

Some of us don't quite have that sort of luxury when going for jobs.
Some of us have download caps (1-gig) at home, insensitive clod.
I usually use the Uni connection to download anything above 40MB, hence I'd need all the CDs if I was going to install a CD-worth of programs, regardless whether each program is tincy-wincy.
...but it (QBasic) as a good springboard into computers.
Only if you want to be taught bad programming habits that you have to 'unlearn' later. Even the examples printed out in beginner's books were horrible messes of GOTO.
Learning to Spaghetti Code is probably not the best of introductions.
it doesn't pop up a message from a friend who's telling me I have to check out this pr0n clip he downloaded while the company president is looking over my shoulder as I demo some code or something
You're dumb enough to have an IM client running when the CEO comes through? What would he/she think of the sudden 'UH OH!' that is played when you get a message...?
...people who have invested in the company absolutely love what it is doing to the value of that investment.
...And that's the bloody big problem with the whole concept of having share-holders - as long as it's good for the shareholders you'll stay in business, no matter how badly you treat the customers.
I can't think of any alternate solutions at the moment, so I'll content myself with watching the message I'm sending be printed off and sent to the States in a glass bottle...

Consider putting together an 'info pack' (if you will) that briefly explains where all the facilities, gaming/hanging areas, where to plug in their computers, set up, etc. are.
You don't want to have a hoard of confused gamers wandering around all asking the same question ("Where do I set up my box?").
They caught the guy cheating, so they set him up with a fake box (note how there's nothing plugged in at the back?), made the video, then kicked him out.

God's no! Put it as an option if you really have to, but if there was no option to turn it off I'd go batty.
This is a bad Apollo 1 joke waiting to happen.

My first reaction to your comment was:
"Maybe I don't want the files saved by my program to be opened by any other program. Don't like that? Then don't fricking use my program."
My first reaction to _your_ comment is, isn't this what M$ is doing with Word?
I'm just curious, but why do you want to stop other people from using other program to open files your program saved?

As per subject.

Oh, and of course:

I'd be more concerned for the friend than the computer...
It was a joke.

I've got 3
All made entirely out of hot grits
All installed by Natalie Portman, who I stripped and petrified afterwards.
All in Soviet Russia...
...In Soviet Russia, Beowolfs cluster YOU.
I beg to differ.
Google for things like "why is there no channel 1" and you'll get more details on this.
But there is... It's called 'SBS'. *Grr*
