Although that seems like it's in good faith, it's bullshit.
You said deadtrees are...
inexpensive. Deadtrees are ~50 USD each. I doubt the school would only teach one subject.
portable. Once again, if you have more than one subject, the laptop wins.
easy to navigate in. Can you search for text in less than a second on a deadtree?
durable. They're less durable than a laptop. You can spill food/drink on a deadtree and a laptop. You could drop a deadtree and a laptop. But, you can't tear a page in a laptop.
just as vulnerable to error. When was the last time Linux paniced when you weren't tinkering with it?
Also anyone whining about eye damage, see my signiture.
Are there any plans/discussions about having Fedora use entirely (open source AND) free software, such as to get an FSF endorsement? Fedora is already pretty close to being there, but there's still a few nonfree things, like gnuplot (which is in core). I don't see how this could hurt Fedora, and it doesn't seem very hard.

"It was created by a company called Eazel, staffed by ex-Apple programmers that wanted to bring ease of use to the Linux desktop."
In the Apple world, "easy to use" means "you have to try every single option to finally find what you want after ripping your hair out in frustration because nothing in the UI makes sense."

It's not a bug, it's a feature! :P
Here in America, that's the exact opposite of the goal of school. http://johntaylorgatto.com/
Oh shit!
To all you whiney Raymondists: GTFO, sellouts.
So Intel and AMD are now tied in performance, power consumption, and heat. However, the caught-up Intels are brand new CPUs, so they cost more.
More to reverse-engineer.
Okay, SCO is full of bullshit. We get it. Shut up about SCO already!!

"A rising tide does indeed float all boats."
That's a bad metaphor; when the tide rises on one side of the planet, it goes down on the opposite side.
I've heard you will be able to to a network install from only 1 disk in FC6.
I've been wondering this since the release of FC5 too.
Perhaps the AMD-ATI merger could result in free drivers from ATI.

It won't matter since most people only have 100Mbits/s routers and network cards anyway.

Have you forgotten where you're posting this?
If they're run by aging men with aging buisness models, why don't we just wait for these old men to die with their buisness models?
They may want to exclusively partner with other firms "to help them reach new customers and ultimately create superior services".
Sounds familiar.
The kid's problem wouldn't have happened if he just put "By: Me".
Ban DRM completely?

How can you resist something abbrivated COW?
MOO!
You are a slave. We are your masters. Give us your money. It is illegal and therefore immoral to disobey us. Bow down.
What kind of crazy geek would want that?
