WRONG!
Their job isn't to make the foundation's funding grow, but rather to complete the foundation's mission. The foundation in a non-profit, you're thinking like some capitalist for-profit company.

This is slashdot. We're geeks. Sex and STDs are but a myth to use (unless you assume STD refers to the C++ namespace).
New, better reactors will make us like Gates.

Kickstarter has HTML5 videos, indiegogo requires flash. That'll loose them plenty of visitors amogst the geek crowds - who are they targeting!?

I'm pretty sure that if self-hosting stuff [on a residential conneciton] in the US were allowed as elsewhere, then there'd surely be way, WAY more user-friendly server software out there.
I'm pretty sure Windows XP would have had a "host your website" tool, or something like that.

I hate to feed a troll, but if I'm really wrong, what kept you from actually pointing out what was unfeasable about my proposal.

Regardless of how good MS gets, "Windows Phone" already makes people turn their backs on their phone as soon as you name it. Plenty relate it to desktop windows, which is awful, others remember older, really horrible versions, while dev know the platform keeps changing and is somewhat untargetable.

Nokia on their end, killed all they had going, Meego, their others OS and software, they sold Qt, etc. They had lots of stuff, and threw it away to ally themselves with a company that, regardless of product quality, has a really bad name in the eyes of the end user.

Ignorance? I've just given your proof of how their "proteciton" can easily be broken.

Isn't Mint a bit too much for those PCs? Sure, Mint is lightweight, but I think you're pushing it. Something like xubuntu o lubuntu might fit the bill a bit better.

adsuck is a nice DNS server that does that for you, and you can run it at a network level. :)

Maybe he lives somewhere where amazon does not ship? Maybe it's 10x computers (120USD sure is a lot more!).

I find that /bin/true returns too many false positives while detecting viruses. I've moved over to /bin/false which is just as lightweight.

Out of curiosity, what distro do you usually install?

Anyone wanting to print more than one would just use a VM, or "print-to-pdf". Where the hell did you find such "cupon-printing" software? I've never even heard of such a thing!

I found that suggesting "Mint" prevents this. People think about black screens and green text when you say Linux. They have no concept of Mint (or Ubuntu), so naming that doesn't fire a fear of terminals.

The need for adding "-no-dwrite" to wine has existed for months, it's nothing new.
Why don't you run native wine?
