I'm Green and Conservative, because there are things worth conserving. Don't lump me in with Tea Partiers.

>>It is not possible to check every application to see if it is harmless or not. Nobody has those kinds of resources.

Well, Canonical does. Google can't afford it?

Too bad Ballmer didn't continue as CEO, right until the bankruptcy.

That was $99 a year.

Has Keurig also gone to an embedded windows OS? Maybe it will have a touch screen with colored blocks.

Can't imagine what functionality they will include, besides making coffee at high cost.

Get the reusable filter, and fill it with your own grind. Sometimes I make half-caf, chocolate, tea, or make a second cup with the used grinds and put in a little instant for the caffeine.

I got a little keurig from my dad, who said the packaged k-cups were too strong (I made 2 cups from each!). When this one fries I'll go back to my Mr. Coffee. the machine is terribly complicated; I took one apart and never did figure out what was wrong with it. Mine will occasionally refuse to brew, requiring a cold reboot (not sure what OS it uses).

You could set the update time to anything your little heart desired, if you had enough mental capacity.

I do enjoy the glitches and bugs of openSuSE 13.1.... what are they, again??

Then they laugh at you (Scroogled)
Then they fight you (free Windows)
Then you win.

Actually, Linux is better than Windows for the granny market, and especially if you are providing IT services pro bono. If you're selling your time, Windows will keep you employed.

They could keep all that other stuff and get rid of that one totally batshit expensive system. Well, a carrier or two also.

I dunno about you, but I get address labels every freaking day from a wide range of charities. Apparently recent research has shown it ups their take if they send you this stuff (along with a note pad, nickel, cards...). Unless you send out a lot of snail mail (more than one a month, for me), what else are they good for?

Paint pens work well too. Better than sharpies.

Even if Honda gave you a car for free?

You could download the text of Moby Dick on dialup and read it, but it would take much longer than downloading the movie and watching it on high speed broadband. Hooray, we learning fast!

The US gov't funds abortion too. And, we have the NSA vs. Liberty. That leaves the Pursuit of Happiness, vs. the IRS.
