  1. Re:My First ever First Post on Venezula Producing Its Own Linux PCs · · Score: 0

  2. Badly constructed long-term strategy ? on Microsoft Thinks Africa Doesn't Need Free Software · · Score: 0

    We all know that computers help with production. More, it helps a country to link its businesses and people to the worldwide scientific community. That said, we might say that computers help the developpement of the economy. A better economy means more jobs and an augmentation of the average annual salary. This also means more people can afford a computer and hence, more people will buy Microsoft licenses. Wouldn't it be wiser to give licenses for free, wait for the results and catch a bigger fish in a couple of years ? Just my 2 cents.

That is, generation 3 particles disinteger (grosso modo, particle physics is much more complicated than that) in generation 2 particles when the energy level is lowered by the expansion of the universe and generation 2 particles disinteger in generation 1 particles.
