Penguin Pain . . .

Sidney · 17th July 2007, 04:37

While my particular situation isn't likely to be too typical, I can easily see somebody not taking care of his or her silicon puppy, then telling Mom and Dad, (Clean up my mess, or I can't do my homework.)

This approach lets them do their homework, and either way, they're going to have to learn something. They'll either have to learn Linux, or learn how to reinstall/restore their Windows setup.

Maybe they'll like Penguinland. If Linux can fix Lazy, great! Just don't ask me to hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

OK, maybe you don't do this to your eight-year-old, yes, this is tough(er) love, but we need a little more of that these days.
