LOL. Actually people who do refuse to eat are forcefully fed - eventually.

On campus every student can use most software for free. Universities have special site licenses that cost a fraction of the commercial price. This sounds good, but its evil, pure evil. Universities should be only allowed to use open source. There is no real need for them to use MS Office for instance, instead of Open Office or LateX. There is no need to use Matlab instead of C/C++/Scilab, MS Windows instead of Linux and so on. The only reason this evil persist is because of all the lazy Nazi system administrators getting free courses at nice hotels by the evil-doers.
