I have faith that something so logical could be implemented, in this day and age. Those with the power to support this simply won't be comprehend the simplicity of such a plan. I mean, seems like the worse case scenario in said plan would be a set of coders end up spending way too much money of soda, video games, and geek toys.
Ok. I can understand if you just concerned with price. But the OLPC wasn't designed to just "be cheap" it was designed to be hardy. Most cheap computers aren't exactly hardy, and not really a comparison to the (idea of) the OLPC.
That's kind of like comparing a $400 notebook to a hardbook that the military might use.
They should have the devs do the experimentation work in Fedora, and then incorporate the final product into Ubuntu and others. At the very least it would be good for cross distro relations.
I have hard time belieeving your grandma was able to install Windows and not Linux.
1) Pop in Fedora Live , hit "Install to Hard drive"
2) Open up what word processor (usually only one on a Live cd)
2b) Type letter, save as/export as PDF
3) Open up Firefox/Gmail or Thunderbird send email
4) Take picture, plug SSD into SSD reader on machine
5) Here it gets tricky, can't remember if Linux distros auto add printers... then again I can't remember Windows auto adding printers either.
And why exactly does your grandma test include installing and setting up and operating system?
Having all of your apps in a remote "cloud" cannot possibly be a good idea, at least for a school. How much are they going to have to beef up their network just for that alone?

Gtk is mostly a widget toolkit. You get a lot more with Qt. And I find Qt Designer to be much more thorough than Glade.
Good for you, as I get older, and FOSS meets more and more of my needs, I am finding my self decreasingly impartial to software piracy.

And in turn KDE 4 looks like a lot of themes that existed in one form or the other for KDE 3.5 at kde-look.org
I get the feeling he always had MS Windows in mind
That depends on if you think the people who would receive OLPC would all be incapable of modifying the code.

Like it or not, a lot of people donated their time and energy with the idea of bringing the benefit of software without the dependence of non FOSS.
I don't know about Vista, but installing XP on new hardware can be a painful experience.
Or maybe people will start using PDFs more... that would be even better.
What are you talking about? Most Linux folks at least (a big part of the GPL community) like when Microsoft cracks down on pirates.
Is it worth it for what you do with it?
Why do does the malaware removal tool report back about what it finds? Do all such tools do that?
If only purely out of curiosity. I would be amazed if this worked, and would love to see the outcome purely out of curiosity.
I can easily imagine such an issue forming around something more important, such as a medicine or piece of life saving technology.
Regardless of OS, this should be a general rule of thumb.
Wrong island, you want Martinique, just south of Dominica.

I'm more concerned as to why his DNA was in the system at all. The article didn't seem to say.
I found this video interesting: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/articles/nasdaq_story.html About to try out the Market Replay app myself.
Apparently a lot of cosmic rays are coming through there. We aren't advanced enough to like cosmic rays.

I wouldn't say "nobody". These devices generally never block 911.
Seems like Dr. Who aimed his screw driver at that thing. That would be cool though.
