Why not more protests of Windows
I read that this friday, there is going to be an anti-war protest outside of Scott AFB. http://www.insteadofwar.org/site/calendar/events.php?id=E196
Now, it's great to see people out expressing their 1st Ammendment rights. But, in terms of preventing war... well, they could probably pick a better place to protest than Scott. No-one on Scott really has the decision-making authority to prevent war.
Some of them do however, have the decision-making authority to choose what operating system they use. So, why aren't there more pro-Linux protests, or whatever. I bet if you could get enough people with pro-Linux signs or anti-Windows signs, you could comandeer the press that showed up to cover an anti-war protest and get a lot of publicity for Linux. Now, whether that publicity would be good, or bad, I don't know. It was just a random thought.
