Exactly! I'm currently in the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic. Most of the computers I deal with here are 6 to 10 years old. And what makes it worse, most of them are Celerons. So upgrading the OS is not an option. The computers simply don't have the power to run a better OS (and no one here but me knows for the first thing about Linux). Hell, just installing an anti-virus is problematic because the computers already run so slow. And I don't even want to mention how much of the software here is pirated (i.e. all of it). I'm not afraid of saying that because I dare Microsoft to come out here and do something about it. No one here has more than a couple dollars to their names. If they did come out then I wouldn't be the only person out here who speaks English.

"will force Democrats and Republicans in the nation's capital to start bridging their cavernous ideological divide" Are you kidding me?!? The Democrats and Republicans are more alike than at any time since the Gilded Age. They are both owned by the same rich elite, and their policies on everything that matters is identical.

Hollywood is terrified to making movies with original ideas. Every movie is created by committee in order to appeal to the most demographics. Which translates into a plot that you've seen a million times before. The idea of making a movie that doesn't spend $50 million on special effects and another $50 milllion on big name actors, but instead invests in plot and acting is something only independents do.
