So this is what goes for science in Canada these days eh? Don't think they'll be getting invited to Regeneron Science Talent Search (Formerly the Intel International Science fair - and Westinghouse talent search) any time soon - where actual science and engineering is highlighted. Duplicating 2000+ year old tech isn't science, it's history. Is N. America turning so freaking stupid they don't know what real science is?

Comment What a moron. (Score -1, Redundant) 133

Takes a special type of stupid these days to think joking about bringing down a passenger jet is funny. They should throw his ass in prison to give him time to work on his standup material and find something that's actually funny. Maybe if he stays out of jail he can go around to theaters and yell "FIRE" just for kicks.

Most public schools have the lamest IT infrastructure pennies can buy. Stop funding the schools who buy consumer grade network equipment (not to name names, what the hell, UBIQUITI I'm talking about you) and hires the principles Nephew (who has subscribed to PC Magazine for the last 3 years) to be their district wide IT Director (Might have to pay more then $60K/year to get real qualified IT people).

You do realize that the so called "Microsoft Tax" you mention is exactly the opposite - right? Microsoft and all the other Window Based Utils and Apps PAY to have their software installed on the laptop you're buying - therefore REDUCING the end cost you pay. When you buy a Linux only laptop, not only is the cost higher because they manufacture a piddling small amount of units, but they also don't have any of the deep pocket software vendors bribing their way onto the linux laptop. Personally, I'll buy a Windows Laptop anytime (along with it's subsidized lower price) and load whatever OS I want once I have it.
