I think it would benefit the cause, not only because of the two laptops every buyer would donate, but also because it would put the laptop in the hands of open source hackers, which could potentially become developers for the project.
Where I can donate so that the children get a decent properly educated teacher and some new high quality schoolbooks instead of this?
You're right, books are important. Those $100 should be used to buy books for schools in developing countries, instead of buying useless gadgets for them.
Hey, I have an idea! Instead of buying paper books, it would be better if we spend that money on e-books, so they can get new and updated books every school year, at almost no cost. But in order to do that we would need an e-book reading device...
You dont have to choose between "the value of sharing with other people in the community" or "the reliability and the dependability that comes from a commercial software model". An open source application can be obtained or supported from a commercial entity, like Red Hat, SUSE, Canonical and others.
"Assistant Secretary of State Richard Griffin said the department would also alter its procurement process to ensure US information security was guaranteed"

the only way they can realistically defend themselves is to have a large patent library of thier own to countersue.
And that's true only if the other party also has an actual product on which you can sue. If you're being sued by a patent troll with no real products or services, you will have to settle or try to get the patent invalidated in court.
With the MacBook, Apple has replaced its last G4 products: iBooks and 12-inch Powerbooks.
The PowerMac G5 is the only PowerPC survivor. When it gets replaced, the transition to Intel will be complete and the PowerPC architecture will be out of the personal computer market (even when it will be alive in consoles and POWER will exist in big iron).
I have a G4 Powerbook, I know Apple will support PowerPC for some time, and Universal Binaries will be around for a little more; but I fear PPC will be a stagnating platform for Linux (and other open source OSes) development, just like MIPS and Alpha have been; growing the x86 monoculture.
I feel that my Powerbook is an example of an endangered species.
What's the point of XPS now that they've acquired Alienware? Now they can just focus the Dell brand on business and home users with Alienware going towards gamers.
Or maybe they will just let the Alienware brand die? It's not something that hasn't happened before.

So, is there a country that still has decent copyright expiration times?

only old people will use hard drives on their laptops.

I hope someone came up with such a device...
Oh wait...

Realistically, most users won't even notice it.

1. Buy suitable laptop
2. Disconnect and remove display
3. Disconnect keyboard and mouse pad
4. Get arrested at the airport for carrying a device that looks like a bomb.

Should microkernels prepare to die?
Except for the 12'' model
Well, at least they aren't naming a stadium after them.

I doubt so, considering that Dell bundles its XPS PCs with a crap load of software that slows down your gaming exprience. Of course, it's possible to achieve good results by doing a fresh reinstall of Win XP on them.
that a platform is ready for the desktop when it's vulnerable to viruses?
Sad, isn't it?
