Simple, try growing it sometime. It takes a little more than just covering a seed in some dirt to get good high quality greens. It's much easier to just have someone else do it for you and then you only buy what you need.
I can confirm that the civilian contractors don't like NMCI either. I worked on the contract on and off for over a year and I have never seen anything as unorganized as the mess EDS made. It drove the civilian contractors nuts too. Nothing but lies. Your work schedule would change on a day to day basis, then they would screw up your hours and your pay and there was no way to fix it and then you would get laid off for a month or two. The sad thing... EDS loses money on the contract... if you are leasing hundreds of thousands of crappy Dells at 250+ dollars a month and you can't make money... you have some real problems.
I love bitching about NMCI, kinda feels like a therapy session!
Is there not already laws against violent acts in Canada? If so what is the need for hate crime legislation? Sounds like the beginning of prosecuting thought crimes to me. Is it really bad to say someone or some group should be killed if you are only speaking and not actually acting? Do the listeners of these people not have the capability to see though other's hateful words and realize that the actions that would be required to carry out the violent crimes are wrong?

Thank you for pointing this out. The article also fails to mention that many of the economy Dell machines also come with a 40gb hard drive. A friend of mine owns one of these Dell machines and I found it terribly slow and chock full of advertising software like internet subscriptions, media software, etc.
On the other hand. I work on a goverment contract where we install Dell machines. This summer we had to go in and wipe out the software installations on several hundred Dell laptops that were only about a year old. I would estimate one in four or one in five of these laptops already had keys going bad on the onboard keyboards. We were also upgrading many of the hard drives from 10gb to 20gb and many of the 20gb drives Dell provided us were dead out of the box.
Don't buy Dell, they are the suck!

Shoplifting from Wal-Mart and then returning it without a receipt works pretty good too. :)
