I never understood why and when a hardware platform became a synonym for software... For me a PC is something like a desktop and Intel chipset without looking up a defintiion.
What does the question in the poll mean? Accounts? What is that? :)

I had the same idea at first :D

I own no television or radio, mostly listen to internet radio and watch some series on BBC. There is however a DVD and music collection here, which I would count as 20% of what I consume? So yeah 60-80%

I have two keyboards at my desk
Daily ~10 to 15 people come with their laptops to IT and want something...
Remember: You go home and there are another three keyboards/laptops waiting for me :)

We got a delivery of ~15 keyboards today... But 11-30 sounds ok :)

I go to Oxford quiet regulary and often there are stickers inside "Smile, you are on CCTV!" etc. The only difference would be, that it is not optional any more... trains have CCTV as well -.-

they want learn to use Windows at school and that's it.

Personally I use a virtual machine to run the application my university wants me to use.

Even better :)
With plain vanilla 3.1.0 everything works, screen (radeon kms), keyboard, controllers, network + wifi + bluetooth, webcam.
I personally use mostly KDE applications on top of that and awesome to manage the windows...

I charge it once a week and it's not even empty by then (~4 years old) :)

Like Schillix, as I just noticed ^^ http://schillix.berlios.de/pmwiki.php/Main/HowtoCompile

I usually check on Wikipedia: http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportClients.htm
MSIE: 36.25%
Firefox: 24.06%
Chrome: 18.22%
This is of course not representative, but if they measure for example Friendface or Shitter then they do not see what I use :)

I think is was last year or something. They said they first tried Windows, which crashed and then used some Linux as their OS for more reliability.

if you want a really easy straight forward OS, use CentOS.

It installs in like 10min
nothing to maintain, updates come automatically
just a pure Gnome2 desktop to start with
fancy software comes from user maintained repos

Ursula von der Leyen (Zensursula) tried to introduce this in Germany. The BKA (Bundeskriminalamt) was supposed to run lists of domains to be blocked by German ISPs. There was so much protest, that the CDU (probably biggest political party in Germany) had to put her down and put her into another position within the government (I am still not sure why that woman is still in politics, she should leave the country as our former minister of defence did.

That secret list, proposed by the CDU, was leaked at Wikileaks in Germany. That's when the BKA raided Wikileaks's offices in Germany in search for child porn and confiscated most of their machines and the domain (the site was down for ~1 month). Those were the methods they used to silent them...
This all happened beginning 2009 and the members of the Pirate-Party Germany increased by ~1000% in a couple of months, they are the 6th biggest party atm.

I am wondering if the British do/try the same now?

I stopped flying cheap airlines. They are small, crowded, sometimes late and land in some village next to the city you wanted to go to...
