Go check out Blue Lane Technologies... Apparently they emulate patches on the network so you don't have to touch the servers themselves. They've also already got a patch out that covers ALL THE AFFECTED ORACLE RELEASES. Yeah, I'm impressed too.
Wait till they get power first... Honestly I wouldn't waste a laptop on Uganda. I gave up on Africa a while ago, it's not getting any better no matter how much money we throw at it. I'd suggest recycling your laptop or giving it to a local school.
First senario: People have less of an incentive to work... Would you work as hard if you got an extra $25,000?
Second senario: Prices go up. If everyone has an extra $25,000 what keeps gas prices from shooting up to $3.00?
Honestly there are very few ways to successfully re-distribute wealth, but giving $25k to everone isn't one of them. Communism would be great except for the fact that there is no true value of the work you do.

Amazingly all "jam bands" have registered as complete and utter failures.

So is it open source?
Awesome idea, I just hope that when more film companies catch on they'll use a format thats multi-platform. (cough) DiVX (cough)
