I was actually trying to do a cat analogy. Schödinger's cat actually, (re)tard or not.
FWIW, I am a long time Fedora user, but have never bothered with GNOME 2 or 3 or MATE, since I like KDE.
I am hoping for some more KDE love from the core Fedora team, although Rex Dieter is doing a great job.
Having Big Brother knowing whatever you watch on TV is a reality today already for those who have a fiber connection and use IPTV. With the Data Retention Directive that EU is pushing (although it is found to be in conflict with the constitution in eg. Germany), what you are watching (live TV or your recordings), and when you are watching it is likely to be stored "forever". This despite the fact that this kind of information is not part of the directive, but since the IPTV providers also provide you with the internet connection, it is likely they store the TV logs just the same way.
Welcome to 1984.
I mean - what are the basic "yum install *list of codecs*", "apt-get install *list of codecs*", "opkg install *list of codecs*", etc?
Seriously - this could be quite useful, even for a weekend trip down here at the surface...
(And yes, I do not live in the USA, not even Sweden. Damn, I'm a lucky boy.)

I always remap CapsLock to Ctrl. I am an Emacs user.

Q: Is Fedora dead? A: Yes and no.
Let me be the first to come with a car analogy: What is a driver's life worth?

Not a problem at all, in fact, as you say, it's the opposite; people know the stuff. My comment was merely directed to the previous poster.
No normal user would ever read /.
