Now be honest, how many hours a "work day" do you spend surfing the net, talking with others, fiddling with computer settings, or just plain spacing out? Its a lot isn't it!
Now, do you think it is a necessary function of programming i.e. just a cost of business or is it just what it seems, goofing off?

BBC (here) is reporting that Microsoft is trying to get XP running on the XO, or $100 laptop.
From Microsoft's James Utzschneider:
"We are hard at work on the project here."
"Between Microsoft employees and third party contractors that we have brought into the effort, we have over 40 engineers working full-time on the port."
One wonder's why would they be investing that much unless Linux in the hands of millions of children across the world would be a real threat to its monopoly.

I watched this video, the kid did nothing wrong, except ask some questions.
When did police become jack booted thugs out to suppress freedom and speech in this country? How can we make the police protectors again? I'm 44 years old, and while I've had a "normal" fear of authority, I now see the police as Nazi sympathizers stomping on free speech that criticizes the security of the homeland, all hail!!

I found this because, as a comcast user, I was/am unable to get any results from Google, and until seeing this blog post just assumed it was a problem with youtube.
Anyone else see this problem?
