"consider how it would feel to be sitting in a classroom of monkeys being taught by a monkey."
Sounds like some kids at my school:
*Kid is staring at teacher.*
Teacher: Next, you do this...
Kid: Wait, what do we do next?
*Kid attempts math problem.*
Kid: Hey! We never learned how to do this!
Me: Um, yeah, we did, last year. The point of school is to remember what you've learned and learn more.
This is a school on the north side of Chicago that's supposed to be so good that it causes young couples to move here.
Not only what you said above, but they automatically install proprietary ATI and nVidia drivers, which assumes everyone has a high-speed Internet connection. Plus, it loads so much shit, it takes about five minutes to boot. Don't forget that CNR thing which is just like yum/apt/ports/portage, but costs $50 US per year to use. That's not gonna make people think GNU/Linux has a chance.
I had the misfortune of Linspire being my first GNU/Linux (if it even deserves to have "GNU" in it's name with what
they've done to it...) Then I switched to Fedora and I'm still loving it.
Yeah, that's really what everyone needs. It's very rare that Word's grammar checker helps. Usually it just points out words that are sometimes used incorrectly and does no check to see if the word is actually being used correctly and just bugs you.
2. If video games really influenced children, today's adults would walk around dark rooms running from people dressed as ghosts and try to eat white dots.
We must create a free RTS game better than anything Blizzard's made! Of course it will take a few, or many, years but I think a lot of people would be intrested in contributing.

Learning about not being allowed to learn, intresting.
I wish I could mark a topic as a troll.
I agree. The same goes for FoxyTunes and ChatZilla (which has a XULRunner version (in development?)).
How can they prove it without the source?
"Didn't the parents realize by the kid's behaviour that something odd was up *before* he killed himself?"
No, the parents are just a stupid.
...to protect the innocent? How is jailing for copyright infrigment protecting the innocent?

IIRC it's because they want to use treacherous computing.
...There's really no such thing as users on Windows...
What's wrong with SuperKaramba and GDesklets?
"nothing less than the level of excellence that we have come to expect from Blizzard."
Do you mean this excellence?
I don't get how anyone still likes Blizzard...
...until we hear "Bacteria Have Rights Too!" (would be in all caps if! for the damn filter)
I agree. OO.o is a huge bloated monster. That's why I use KOffice and GNOME Office when I've to use an office suite (otherwise I use XHTML/CSS).
Finally Firefox isn't such a resource hog and actually runs fast! Now I'm not switching to Konqueror so I still have extensions!
Wikipedia's the second best source of information there is (the first is The Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy, of course).
Hooray! More proprietary software!
Whoops, last time I checked it was semi-free software. It looks like they've GPLed it now.
Don't talk about what you don't know about if you're not asking about it.
It's not free software either.
What is this "Debian Linux"? It sounds similar to Debian GNU/Linux.

"something along the same lines as MS Word's."
Yeah, that's really what everyone needs. It's very rare that Word's grammar checker helps. Usually it just points out words that are sometimes used incorrectly and does no check to see if the word is actually being used correctly and just bugs you.
1. Don't look at us! We're not violent!
2. If video games really influenced children, today's adults would walk around dark rooms running from people dressed as ghosts and try to eat white dots.

We stopped being different for a while, so the idiots thought we were them.
