Are you really sure about that? Can you confidently claim that upgrading those machines to 2GB of RAM for $70 per PC would not make those machines faster, earning back $70 of wages per employee over the entire lifespan of that PC?
and the Apple model of applications being folders that contain everything they need is even better still. Package managers are basically terrible in comparison.
Does that include libraries? If three Apple applications require the same library, is that library stored in three separate directories?
Is that an attempt to convert Tertullian to Matlab ("Credo quia absurdum")? Or is that really the best way to store such data? I suspect that you do not believe so.

There are many, many, many, jobs and disciplines where the use of a calculator, a good spreadsheet program, and basic math is all you will ever need in the way of math.
Curiously however, libertarian immigration to the Paradise in Mogadishu remains rather low.... perhaps not enough pamphlets at the weekly meetings at the temple of the Goddess Alyssa Zhinovievena?
Perhaps because she had enough of that sort of thing during the Russian Civil War.
Does it produce mathematical output as beautiful as LaTeX's? In tables, does it automatically place column dividers correctly, or might some text spill over?
And on that subject, don't miss the newest issue of Elsevier's Journal of Holistic Electromagnetic Medicine, where my peer-reviewed article "Correlation Between H1N1 Swine Flu Propagation and Near-Field WiFi Radiation from Linux-Based Routers" just came out. I understand it's already garnering favorable attention in Redmond.
All of you tout security when over half of you have or have had spyware and viruses on your windoze machines.
I'm running on Linux, over Wifi. My personal surfing may not be worth protecting, but businesses have to consider such things as client confidentiality and protection of company data.
Does it support embedding pictures and fonts? How widely is it supported? How many people have DVI readers already installed on their computers?
DVI does not support jpeg or png images (I don't know about fonts). It does support pstricks, a powerful (but complicated) scalable-vector graphics package. It's similar in capacity to SVG, but doesn't support animation, though it has a nicer way of plotting functions.
You should have TeX/LaTeX and related packages in Ubuntu. Try "which xdvi" on a command line. There are versions available for Mac and Windows as well, but few users have them preinstalled. I will point that few Windows users have a pdf viewer preinstalled, and must download one themselves.
If one wants to send editable documents, one can.tex files, but one can place a shell escape in such files.

But can the machines be upgraded?
Unused RAM is not doing anything for you.
Is there a difference in power consumption between used and unused RAM?
The prefetcher works by watching what code and data is accessed during the boot process
How many applications have data that are accessed during the boot process?

But fortunately for me, VI users have to remember how to get to inquisition mode. I believe I'll be committing "heresy" for quite some time.
Hence the inclusion of Bill Joy (the original developer of vi).

We are losing our democracy because people have become so narrowly focused on their jobs.
Your nickname "Darkness404" is certainly appropriate.
Then should we keep the system running?
There are many, many, many, jobs and disciplines where the use of a calculator, a good spreadsheet program, and basic math is all you will ever need in the way of math.
But should one view math merely as vocational?
But wouldn't the lake front be near Death Valley, rather than in it? Perhaps he should purchase the base of Mount Whitney.

The First Amendment makes no such distinction, though American judges may fail to respect the latter.
Nutrition is a great thing. But the rest of medicine has made some pretty damn big contradictions that you are too quick to discount.
Well, call me a slave to Aristotle, but I tend to discounts contradictions, too. Or did you mean contributions?
There,fixed it for you.
Wouldn't Death Valley be underwater, as it is now below sea level? Also, even if that happens, wouldn't Superman just fly back in time and stop it?
I once had Time Warner stand-alone cable. Don't they offer it any more, or do you have a different provider?
I thought the problem was that the programming sucked.

The Air Force has yet to explain who, if anyone, authorized the bombing of a Redmond, WA software company by a squadron of B-52s.

Of course, without windows or a periscope (or sonar) it would be difficult to direct a sub.
this was network television with sensors
Sir, we have ABC off the starboard bow. Shall I fire photon torpedoes?
