An article has come out claiming (yet again) that 2009 will be the year
of Linux, and bases this prediction on the fact that low power ARM
processors will be in netbooks which won’t have enough power to run

applications which suits Linux perfectly. And, oh yeah, Palm might save
Linux, too.

In mobster parlance, to “waste” something is to get rid of it, hence
the headline. Yet the question is vital, with millions of technological
products currently going into landfill and polluting the earth for
generations to come, with Australia’s politicians predictably “wasting”
time dithering on not delivering a solution. The “TEC” demands action –
now!

have other problems.
