Cheapass Laptops

• Slashdot | MIT Unveils Prototype for $100 Linux Laptop: Nifty, eh?

To those of you who say: "Why don't they take this money to feed people/cure cancer/fight terrorism!!!1"
My response: Fuck you. I hate the "we should fix one global problem at a time" mentality. If all we did was feed the starving, a generation later we'd have nothing but a whole bunch more starving to feed. If we can get more countries up to par with us economically (shouldn't be hard considering the direction of our economy), then maybe later we'll have more help in feeding/curing/shooting.
