DaemonFCComcast and Microsoft are partnering to sell computers with Windows on them for like $150.Jul 28 13:24
DaemonFCBut to qualify, you have to have a child on the free school lunch program.Jul 28 13:24
DaemonFCSo basically they're dumping Windows computers on poor people to train children to use them.Jul 28 13:24
DaemonFCAs far as I can tell, there's no requirement that you have to keep using the computer with Windows.Jul 28 13:25

DaemonFCHere they just raise taxes and force everyone to pay for the iPads, whether or not they have children, and whether or not their children attend the school that is buying them.Jul 28 13:43
DaemonFCIt's like I keep saying to MinceR. They stay in office by dumping free shit on the breeders.Jul 28 13:43
DaemonFCThen when the kids get the iPads, the first thing they do with them is figure out how to bypass the school's firewall and look up porn.Jul 28 13:45
DaemonFCThey're impractical and a waste of money. Even if you can get your textbooks on the iPad, the publisher doesn't lower the price of each book, and they charge for a new copy for every student, even though the book might not change much/at all from year to year.Jul 28 13:45

schestowitzthe term collectivist is contradictory, because we are all part of a collective. there exists no such thing as the individual (even Hayek admits that implicitly when he states that the state should regulate a free market for competition [road to serfdom]). the individual is an a posterior construction of liberal society to model the freedoms necessary for free commerce."Jul 28 13:47

schestowitzOdd. It would need a detailed explanation and it also depends on /how/ one uses the DE. KDE4 is a workhorse for me and I adapted to it over the past 10+ years (was using also GNOME and Enlightenment before it although I first used KDE in 2000).Jul 28 13:49

DaemonFCSince the doctor gets a flat rate, and it's not a lot of money, it means that if I go there more than about 5-6 times a year, they start losing money on me. So I get fewer follow up visits.Jul 28 13:50

DaemonFCThey also have a system where if you're re-admitted to a hospital within 60 days, the hospital has to rebate some of the money the plan paid them.Jul 28 13:51
