[ale] Cheap wireless adapter find (Richard Faulkner)

[Jim Kinney]

My kids use Linux. My 12 year old is happy pounding command line. My 21 year
old was very adamant when she was getting a laptop for college that it "not
run that windows crap".

In the past 20 I've seen no good reason to park a child in front of a
windows machine so much so I almost consider it child abuse to run windows
around kids.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
