Gas station operators try to make sure that they always bring in enough revenue to buy the next shipment of gas, but also have to be wary of charging even a tiny bit more than their competitor across the street. They have to speculate on a daily basis as to how much they are going to be charged for the next shipment. I'm not sure where they all get their info on what is happening to the price of gas, but they have to be very reactive to that information.

I don't doubt that gas station operators don't make a lot of profit on each gallon of gasoline. But they still have to keep buying and pumping gas in order to sell over priced chips, flashlights, milk, hot dogs, beer, phony stay awake juice, etc. When the cost of buying new gasoline starts cutting into the snack profits, then the station can be in trouble.

Yes, but how is that at odds with anything I said?If the operator does not have gas to sell, the snacks don't get bought in any appreciable volume.Topic moved here Edited by AdminPhat, : topic link

I'm not all that familiar with using linux on non-x86 hardware, but people using Ubuntu 11 seem able to get wifi to work on their intel-PCs. I've read about some situations which required fiddling, but not of any problems that could not be solved.For cash strapped folks who aren't going to run pirated Windows, perhaps doing a little bit of fiddling to get wifi to work isn't the worst thing in the world.Also, I understand that the most recent version of Wine does a great job of running MS Office stuff, if open office isn't a good enough substitute. Maybe not in all cases for all people. I certainly cannot speak to the hole in support that you found. But given the wide range of hardware that Linux runs well on, I think this slogan is not quite so universal.
