    Slashdot is not a single entity, if the story is there, that means a user, like you and I, thought the story interesting enough to post. There is no Slashdot bot trolling the web for Google stories.

    I think this is a good idea. Add support for AC power supply (if not already in place) sell for $200+, use $100 of that to give a child a free laptop. Geeks get to be charitable and have a new toy.

    Who is being generous? According to what I've read, the items will be sold at cost price.

    Dude, these are low end computing machinery. These are not refurbished Compaq laptops. I think even thieves have some standards based on value of the item to be stolen.

    Well since you made this comment:
    And I'd hate to have to buy both portables and their respective games, from now on.
    Seemed like you were implying that you couldn't just get a DS andplay games from both DS and GBA. I guess I misunderstood.

    Shame on you for such an ignorant post. How different can a company be? They are different, they chose to give the people some, and let them know that some more was missing. Other companies gets their kicks of purposely censoring. I have yet to see how saying no all together would have been benificial to anybody.

    I hardly think Google would be adding to the sum censorship. The Chinese internet will be no more censored with Google than without it.

    So when talking about the profits we consider Google, but when talking about what will be missing we remember the Chinese people. So what about the fact that if Google doesn't reach an aggreement their will be NO google in China, not even for simple things.

    I know what you mean. I ask why he would allow there to be anything bad in the world. Free will doesn't cover it.
    I have my own personal, non-supported ideas on this. I think that their had to be bad. And that for things to work, there had to be an opposite to everything. Light-dark, matter-antimatter, love-hate, good-bad. So God, in his devine Wisdom, allowed evil to be, so that it could be rooted out once and for all.

    I'll also give this a try. The bible does say that one should not be ashamed of God:

    Why they celebrate birthdays and not conception days (they're so adamant at trying to control non-believers definitions of "life")

    As you note, conception days are vague (hence days) a birthday seems more precise and easier to celebrate. And through out the bibile, more attentions seems to be given to the birth.

    Why they believe one ascends to heaven immediately upon a man saying they are dead.

    That is simply not a Christian belief. I am no loyal bible student, but I know that much. It is clearly stated that souls only go up to heaven during the rapture. (ie. part of the last days). People just say that they know so and so goes went to heaven. This is more a manner of speech than a belief.

    Why they believe that one who has no brain activity but body life might still be considered alive on this earth.

    I think again, this is more of a subjective idea, than a belief. I think it is fair to say that the technology which even makes this possible now was non-existant at the time of the bible, so there is no real example there to draw on. I leave that to God, he sure has a better understanding of that than any of us.

    I do not know about apt, but with yum, you just setup a cental yum repo on your lan, have all the workstations and client point to it and check and , download and install updates automatically from the central server. Your central server will download updates from the normal sources, and only push them out to the clients when you say so.
