The solution to that problem is open source evangelism and so on, not expensive and pointless intervention in the market. Remember "Windows XP: no media player edition"? No one bought it. How well is "Windows Vista: Not Even Pretending To Be Secure Edition" going to sell? You're not providing people with a choice, you're just punishing Microsoft.
The West could stop treating the less-developed parts of the world as a game board full of pieces to push around and draw lines on, supporting repressive governments when it serves the interests of the powerful, and move toward a rational trade system based on actual capitalism in order to allow economic prosperity.
Apple's Automator software tries to do this. For programs that support it and provide actions, you can pick a group of files and apply actions in order. I haven't used it much since most 3rd-party applications haven't implemented it enough to make it useful.

But this is more about the relative slopes of the learning curves. I like writing equations in LaTeX because it's fast and I don't have to deal with drop-down menus or wait for the computer to render one symbol while I'm trying to insert the next. LaTeX is highly usable; it just takes a year or so of regular use to become proficient.
Unless the other guy already thought of that, and he knows you're going to pick scissors. Then he's going to play rock, and your best bet is to play paper.
Or you could just plug it in correctly. I can't think of a single computer connector, other than the power adapter on my laptop, where there isn't a wrong way to plug it in.
Yeah, but at least the bill title isn't an acronym. I was beginning to think that the House rules no longer allowed the intial letters of the words in the title not to spell something.
Read your David Icke, he's been talking about this for years. It's called problem-reaction-solution.
The people in power seek to increase or consolidate their power, but they can't just take more power overtly, or people would throw a fit, so they engineer some kind of problem, so that the people demand action be taken to solve the problem. Then they openly propose their solution, and the people thank them for it.

GP: Slight problem if you only happen to have the one Mac, though -- what are you going to hook it up to?
P: Firewire mode is a key combination during boot up.
If your computer dies, and you start it Target Disk mode, you need a second computer to connect the dead computer to.

Or, you know, genocide.
I think about 6 million Irish would be pretty pissed off to hear you count it as part of the UK. It hasn't been for about 85 years.
You mean like freedom of speech?
Actually, if my MacBook, or my old iBook, is muted when I turn it off, the startup bong does not sound.
Is Firewire 800 backward compatible? I thought the plugs were different...

No, it means I'll have to find somewhere else to put my drink.
Go look up federalism in the dictionary and get the fuck out of my face.

mini nuclear reactors to power our laptops
Wow, and I thought it was bad when my computer just made my thighs hot!
Why not?
Maybe 10 pages would be a healthy medium, but surely there could be more than one goddamn paragraph per page?!?
That must be why millions of US citizens have fled to Mexico.

Lynx has no CSS support, so it has very little hope of working.
Also, Amarok blows, so GP is full of shit.
You know, burned CDs only last a maximum of about 10 years before they start getting errors. They're nothing like pressed CDs.

Er, why would windows be more useful than linux to a person who has never used a computer before?
