Giving away free disc in the mail could be a big contributing factor. I'm mostly a openSUSE user (not a real ubuntu fan) but I still have free disc sent to me when new versions come out.
BOINC, Tor, Freenet and/or I2P are good examples of things you can put your extra resources to some use. Here are the BOINC projects I would run if I had 100's of system's at my disposal.
...using Linux. I'm not certain when I started using Linux, only that I started with Red Hat 5.2. After a quick Wiki search I found that it came out in November of 1998. I can't believe it's been 10 years all ready. Jesus! So I decided because this November is the 10 year anniversary of the release of the first distro I started with I'll celebrate with cake.:-)
... hope and the motivation to do something. If Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or anyone else with money or power happen to get something without any "viable treatment", they might (oh I don't know) donate fuck loads of money, resources and what ever time they have left to find a cure.
Just because there's no "viable treatment" NOW doesn't meant there wont be. If I knew I had something where there was no treatment. I would save as much money as I can and maybe wait for a cure (that's if I'm still alive) and use the saved up money on that. I might also write a will to have my body and money donated to science. You know, maybe help others out when I'm gone. The word here being HOPE!
Most people don't know when they're going to die, but if you did you could find a way to use it to your advantage or stop it from happening. But if you want to stick your head between your legs and think of your self, you can do that.;-)
Point being, fear of anything is a strong motivator to do something about it. With out fear, hope, motivation or any thing else that makes us human, we would all just die sitting on our sofa's wondering what's on the next American Idol while not doing anything to advance the human race. Choices we make now have ripple affects even after we're dead. Just something to think about.

It's fun to make jokes and all but can those bots run 'Linuts'?
I can think of some "donations" I'd like to make against the RIAA. ;-)
