He assumed that you update your operating system more than once a year. Granted, LTS is nice but it does not get new features - hence why it is supported for a long time.;)

I'm not sure I'm understanding shell replacements correctly but, if so, they can change the look and functionality of your desktop entirely. Is this right?
And if it is, does it impact the way programs run? Or will any program that runs with the regular shell run with a new shell? If the answer to these questions is yes, no, and yes (respectively) then I think I may be in heaven.
It will be just like A Clockwork Orange - only, instead of watching ultra-violence you're watching O'Reilly. Though, I suppose they're kind of the same thing...
In A Clockwork Orange, poor Alex had to watch many guys raping a woman. In your scenario, the poor (I say that with all sarcasm) **AA must watch Bill O'Reilly mind-raping any attempt at rational discourse.
Firefox caches things in your memory if the memory is not being used. If you try to run something that needs that memory, you'll see Firefox' footprint drop as it releases it.
This is a good thing; it prevents you from having to load frequently visited pages multiple times.
Do you know what an ad hominem is? Because that was not an ad hominem. Let me quote Wikipedia here for you, on an ad hominem attack:
"Person A makes claim X
There is something objectionable about Person A
Therefore claim X is false"
What I said was actually pretty close to the opposite of an ad hominem attack. It went something along the lines of this:
"Person A makes claim X
Claim X is obviously false
Therefore there is something objectionable about Person A"
Do you see the difference?
And, are you kidding me? RATIONAL? Fox being merely centrist, rational? There's a reason moderates view Fox as pretty far right, too - it's not just people on the left. The problem is that Fox' viewers generally have a skewed sense of left and right, different from the vast majority of the United States. In their view,Fox may be centrist - but they're basing their view ONLY ON THEMSELVES, not on the majority of America.
And I never said anything about the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy". He's the guy who seems to believe in some "Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy" that controls the entire media.
Well, you either have the reading comprehension of a toddler or are an idiot or are deliberately reading things into what I said (most likely to justify some unjustified hatred of the left). None of those would help make your point of view look more reasonable.
And no, that wasn't an ad hominem attack - it was a childish dig at a person who annoys me. Greatly.
"There is a certain understanding of what right and left mean, within the realm of american politics."
Too bad for you that you don't understand it. Instead you believe what Fox would have you believe - that they're merely centrist, or almost so whereas the rest is made up of raving loony lefties. It's too bad that you fell for it.
Can you imagine the uses for bendable computer displays? Some would be amazing. You could have a roll-up monitor in your pocket like you see in science fiction movies.
Or there could be people wearing clothing made out of them covered in advertisements... That's what I'm afraid of. Imagine walking down the street and you see something bright coming towards you. You squint your eyes. As it gets close, you can make out the words emblazoned all over the body like a battle flag.

IE7 is still more insecure than any other browser

"...Russia was still highly non-Western (in, for example, its treatment of sexual-orientation or ethnic minorities)"
Does that mean that Russia actually treated them decently?
There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God I know I'm one
They already do - all the competitors are "Powered by Google".
And then again, I'm not.
