I've used root@127.0.0.1 here and there... This exists on all *nix machines, but is there a single address that means superuser at localhost on every platform?
Not at all. I wanted my mod points to mod this insightful. Developers don't seem to realize how bloated their applications become as they evolve. XFCE was supposed to be lean (it still is), leaving the bloat to others such as GNOME or KDE. Like someone else said on this discussion, one man's feature is his neighbor's bloat, and I tend to think that features == bloat. See, how comes today we have hardware ten times as fast as five years ago, and the apps we use essentially for the same thing don't feel ten times as fast? Of course, if we ran software that were current five years ago on today's hardware, I'm pretty sure they would feel ten times as fast. Why today's software doesn't feel ten times as fast? The evolution happened on the features (== bloat) field, but not on the speed/smart use of resources field.

Perhaps not as popular as Gecko-based web-browsers, but become a killer app on its niche, yes, glabels can do that. Or can you name out of the top of your head another free (speech) app for doing labels/cards/cd covers/fliers/the like?
Where are my mod points when I need them? I agree with that, XFCE was supposed to be lightweight yet beautiful and easy-to-use. We don't need another GNOME (even less so yet-another-GNOME-that-assumes- the-user-is-dumb- and-has-3D-windows).
Where I come from we have a legal figure called (how can I put it in English? let me try...) "litigation in bad faith" ("litigância de má-fé", to the Portuguese speakers out there). It is what SCO is doing: starting a legal process against someone even when they know they don't have a case. Doesnt the American juridical system have such a thing?
I bite. We will still see BSOD jokes because they will still be there. They were supposed to be gone since Windoze 2000, but guess what? They are still there haunting the poor (l)user.
IIK! The press law! I thought that that monstrosity was wiped out along with the military dictatorship that created it! See, that law was created in 1967, during the most violent period of military dictatorship here in Brazil. It was used to shut those who were against the regime, journalists or not, and twenty years after the end of the regime, that law is back to haunt us. If Microsoft aren't drug dealers, what are they, then?

I also can't see the one grand feature that would make me completly switch from IE. I know allot of people will bring up a ton of good reasons, but whats the BIGGEST reason to switch?
no sneaky spyware and annoying popups as you browse those sites with... um... merry ladies...
Linux is no more secure than Windows. I'm sure if you added up all the vulnerabilities in Windows 2000 and compared them to a list of vulnerabilities in all the software on a standard Linux distribution of the same age, Linux would have at least as many as Windows.
Bad troll. You should be more subtle next time. Nevertheless, I take the bait. While most of South American coutries speak Spanish, Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Surinam (a.k.a. "Dutch Guyana") do not. Major cities in Brazil were founded by Portuguese, mainly jesuitic missionaries and goldwashers. The massive italian migration the troll referred to happened between mid-XIX century and early XX century, due to coffee farms, and while it had great impact on our culture, it was certainly not enough to make Italian (or some dialect of it) very popular, not to say official, here.

We will have a wrapper wrapped around another wrapper that wraps the inner wrapper in which the core language is wrapped. XML? Why oh why on earth would anyone want that mixed with the traditional programming languages, which, on their turn, provide extensibility enough on their own? And where is that Unix philosophy, 'one tool to do one job, and do it well', that made that system so hugely popular among developers? Is that not toolchain extensibility/modularity, and a very good one? XML... Dear God!
I don't see too many windows machines on netcraft's top 50 uptimes list... The closest (and the only) open-source operating system listed there is FreeBSD. The rest is an endless list of BSD/OS... But windows? Windows is nowhere to be seen.
Vinyl is analog, so there is no loss of quality you would have with CDs, which are digital. It means that the sound waves can be reproduced continuously, as opposite to the waves in CD, that are re-created through a sampling of discrete values that are only an approximation (although a very good one to untrained ears) of the original, continuous, sound wave.

I believe that the brands "msn" and "microsoft" are too loaded with evil to inspire trust.
Just wait until the Windows following Longhorn is released...

No one asked, so I ask:
How the first post on the page gets a redundant MOD?

Yes, that is the most exact translation to what I meant. Thanks.

"Livre" is Portuguese (the Brazilian national language) for "Free"; "Libre" is the Spanish/French meaning the same thing, but I digress.

It was before that. FORTRAN, deemed the first high level language (if you don't count Plankalkul) came in 1959.
