OK, I know people are getting pissed off with the thread, so I'm going to save my ranting and raving for another thread. I'll limit my conversation to computers: I smoke and I use computers.

If we're going to start banning things that we don't like, why don't we start banning Linux in public places because it is hurting Microsoft's billion dollar business?
