    I made that argument to my wife. A couple of hours later she wished to run an *.exe file on my machine. I don't have wine & wasn't there so when I arrived on the machine I got the sore treatment about how my computer doesn't work why can't we have windows? Try explaining to an upset woman that you can't expect a Kenworth diesel engine to work in a Honda Civic.

    Why so elitist? I only want it pre-installed to encourage more hardware support. Don't like it? Don't buy it. I would love to be able to buy one (I'm an Aussie), as a measure of my support of those supporting linux.

    It is a good thing to popularise linux up to the point of critical mass for hardware manufacturers. As you should well know, at that point it becomes reasonable to expect manufacturers develop drivers for it. If that means ~25% of the market, I'd be happy.

    Sheesh, salt isn't a waste! The salt is separated. Sodium is used in a solar thermal energy plant and the chlorine is used for cleaning. I'm sure there will be more uses as well. Heck, if you have that much of an abundance of it, spread salt around the surrounding area of the the solar panels to increase reflection.

    It is affected by efficiency and effectiveness. Redundancy has a place, but it should not be relied upon to maintain a 'normal' state. Redundancy should be called upon under unusual circumstances, not a normal order of business. However, I have worked with too many companies, having a single layer of redundancy, use it as a second leg. Strangely, the redundancy keeps failing. :s It then becomes the 'fault' of plebes on the floor for 'not doing the job properly'. Thanks PHB.
    Keeping the Leaning Tower of Pisa standing with paper may be possible, but the number of layers and manipulations required to do so makes other materials more desirable. Possible and availability do not always make great bedfellows.
    That said, if NASDAQ and co. doesn't require too many layers of redundancy to keep running, more power to them.
