Samba has been around literally for decades and has seen constant reliable use.
You're suggestion that the software is new and poorly designed is invalid.
There are good admins and bad admins. If software that has been successfully deployed for multitudes of years has been a problem then bad admins are far more likely to blame.

Poor administration is not the software / OS fault.
WAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
You cry like a New-Yorker.
Go run from Air Force One again. That was funny.

Why does everyone get all butt-hurt when New York's 'Victim Status' is challenged?
As storms go, it was weak. Barely hurricane force. Category 1.
Go to New Orleans and try bitching about it.

"but I've put CentOS on it in a VM"
*Facepalm*
Place Windows in a VM on Centos. Otherwise your Linux uptime is a derivative of your windows Uptime. Which is typically crap.

It's Already Passed.

Now all Obama has to do is sign a treaty extends their laws here too. Wait... That's already happened too...
There has to be one hell of a fight in gov't circles to keep our freedom ( that's left ) or there's going to have to be one hell of a fight with other means.

Too bad Slashdot is stuck in 1995 and still doesn't support UTF-8.
Civilization in a bottle: Not as easy as it sounds.
I don't know about bottles, but Sid Meier can put Civilization on a plastic disc.
Hence the expression "it's not rocket surgery".
Even if you could get rid of the stupid people you would never get rid of stupid people. The previously middle-range IQ people would now because the stupid people. You then loop this forever until there is only one person on the planet, at which points he drops his glasses and can't read books.
Reading Twitter feeds was merely an example of using a microcontroller for tasks where a regular computer would be overkill.
Stay in hardware but go with standard hardware ICs and custom firmware/software. Not everything requires on a full-sized computer. The Arduino and Raspberry Pi are perfect examples. You wouldn't waste a mini-ITX computer and a 17" LCD to display Twitter feeds but you wouldn't even blink about doing the same thing with an ATmega and a 20x2 characters display.
Don't kill yourself, AC! Fight fire with fire and start your own hyperbole!
"The media is DEAD! Printed media, radio and television medias are all dead! People get their news from rumors websites, Facebook and Twitter, we don't need controlled media to tell us about anything! So long and thanks for all the fish!"
You are referring to the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory, of course.
Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules. Corollary: Following the rules will not get the job done.
