Did you read the actual paper? It's mostly a joke, though
well-researched and -supported. That's Total Cost of 0wnership, spelled
with a zero, as in 0\/\/|\|ing the box.
I had loads of fun reading it, as did a few of my colleagues. I have to
admit I first dissmissed it due to its title, until I realised they
spell ownership with 0 (zero).
