Don't these places have their own overbearing governments to take care of this? I'm full up worrying about whether my kids will keep their shoes off the furniture and the toxic dump my neighbor calls "his garage".
So I get a computer, then I load a OS, then I need a Web Browser, and I need to get a Internet Connection, THEN I can connect to a Web Service that provides me with ANOTHER desktop so that I can store stuff. Wow, compared to a $30 dollar thumb drive, that IS convenient.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....nope. There, I tried, still can't give a damn.
Africa has soooooooo many other problems that worrying about the internet doesn't even make the top ten. Certainly their corrupt government and military must have some connection - how do they wire transfer all the money they're laundering?
I'm sure some rich dumbass will make it their pet project though, since you know everything can be fixed if only some (media whoring) artist or actor gets behind the problem.
Luckily, the problem is self solving. Japan has the oldest (and therefore the most dying) population of any civilized nation. In a few generations, either the Country will be gone, or over run with care-taker robots. In either case, hawking political hogwash via the net will be the least of their worries.
Well, the record labels will just have to start suing the artists for their lack of creativity to be able to generate a full album. After all, it must be costing the labels BILLIONS in lost revenue, and hey, if it wasn't for those beneficial labels, those artists would just be a bunch of music creating hippies.
Our lawyers can't schedule taking a dump within 60 days without 3 meetings, 7 conference calls to the home office, staff review, several interns to pull case studies, and a flurry of PDA syncing.
This project is dreaming to think that even if (and that's a big if) Microsoft wanted to reply, they would be able to do so legally within that time frame.
As to silence equaling admission - yeah, that's a legal strategy only a rapist could love.

If the ongoing RIAA shenanigans have taught us nothing else, it's that IP does NOT equal personal Identity.
Why?
Perhaps the headline should have read: "In search of a SMALL and cheap Linux Laptop".

Search over.
If that's not "cheap enough", I'd say getting a new laptop should be on the bottom of your "things to buy" list.

Do they plan on using a rocket or by 2020 will their population have grown so large they'll be able to make a human pyramid and climb to the moon?
If they can't manage something as simple as birth control, seems unlikely they'll master rocket science in the next 13 years.
Officials from Taco Bell were unavailable for comment.
Sniff! Eyes mist up and almost but not quite shed a single tear.

No respectable place of higher learning would ever consider censorship (of any type) acceptable.
But being a religious front, you place a higher value on myth over facts, so no big surprise you'd want to limit access to the truth.
OK Chubby - time to find a new doctor with working eyeglasses. //just kidding.
With 300G drives costing less then $100, what type of cheap bastard uses file compression? //in my day we had 10M hard drives - and we LIKED IT!
