What are these "history of privacy violations" incidents you're referring to? The "Criticism of Google" page on Wikipedia has a couple of things, but, really, if you are looking at what could have gone wrong versus what actually has, you'd have to fucking admit that they've done a great job looking after their customers. Now, Facebook on the other hand...
I had to uninstall, go over to the Google site and re-download. Took about two minutes but I'm not using the stable version. I still keep seeing that goddam Oh, Snap! picture, though, so I don't know what they mean about stable.
Even though a sales tax is a greater burden on the poor, the poor are afraid of having to pay the once-per-year fee and instead stick to getting nickel and dimed for it.
The Evergreen State College has Linux machines in the lab, but not the library.
Last year I tried to send a document to the wireless printer and it didn't work. The kid in charge opened up a terminal on my lappy and futzed around for a few minutes, finally apologizing for not having it set up properly on their side, and sending to document to be printed. It worked fine after that.
I've never read The Tragedy of the Commons, but wikipedia says:
"The metaphor illustrates the argument that free access and unrestricted demand for a finite resource ultimately dooms the resource through over-exploitation."
How in the world does installing bootleg copies gives anyone a "valuable experience learning to make the OS work firsthand"?
On the other note, I wonder what made them choose Linux. Was it a choice based on merits or did Hugo Chavez'es political stance (anti-US/capitalism) made an impact?

Unfortunately, backers who run Linux won't be part of the closed beta.
GNU/Linux?
It's not just that the buzz sucks, it's that the songs and chants and crowd reaction is drowned out.

I'm using the stable Chrome on Linux and it shows. Are you maybe using, uh, Windows?
Exactly. Also, who is going to maintain the vehicles?
FTA: tl;dr "with Acer, Sony and HP being the worst offenders."
You'd think The Terminator movies and TV shows would kind of bring home the meaning of the word.

Call me an econotard, but I don't see how more expensive equals higher margins.

Damn,
Richard Stallman did it.
Because now we'll see a Hot for Vice President site spring up.
