Agreed. The law should apply equally to all people overseen by it. If a President can't take his precious time to commute a sentence for any other citizen but will spend months working on covering up for and then magnanimously forgiving one of his buddies then the system is seriously damaged. A crime is a crime, and with it should carry a consistent punishment.
Well, with support of SuperKaramba in KDE and better integration of SuperK and the Kicker, I think you could turn the Kicker off and use a widget in its place. As for keyboard shortcuts, I think you can configure those in KDE. If you can do it at all in Linux I'm pretty sure KDE would let you.
C++ is a superset of C. You can use C when it's more efficient, but sometimes it's a better idea to use polymorphism to cut down on how many things you have to instantiate. If functions are being built at runtime you'd save some overhead, I'd think. In C you'd have to declare scads of similar functions for different data types, and they'd all wind up in there at compile time, all copied into memory later on whether you need to use them or not. Maybe I misunderstand some of the whole debate, but I thought that was one of the selling points of C++.
You can get pretty close with Beryl. A lot of what OSX does that's neat isn't handled directly by the desktop environment, but is dependent on the window manager itself. Most of what KDE and Gnome do (and please correct me, I know I'm missing some nuance with regards to my understanding of where the window manager ends and the desktop environment begins) is just calling simpler windowing functions and provide tertiary applications to make navigating a little easier, connecting higher-level apps to the lower-level graphics stuff, but Compiz and Beryl seems to unify a lot of that and make the whole experience a little more seamless. Beryl provides a 3d-accelerated desktop that has live window previews on all functions (like task switching) and provides something stunningly like expose. If you like OSX I'd advise giving it a go. It's getting easier to set up every day thanks to a bunch of really clever folks working on it.
Nonono, they lose money on each one sold. Let's buy them out, then install Debian on them. Redistribute them as OSS PVRs. We could do it with the XBox, the 360 is only a matter of time.

PWNED!

I dunno, I'm a fan of open government, so maybe I'd go for RMS.
