Hey - I can't vouch for what it will do to your custom theme... I'm just saying if you *choose* the old Human theme they are still on the right.
For the amount of effort it takes - it's not hardly worth the whining I've been seeing online.
We're fine with moving priority to the new objective as soon as you've completed the former.;-)
Ubuntu 10.04 presumably is not it just yet.
You do realize that bug has been fixed... and that it's not even released yet?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/565981/. posting that story was really NOT news.... pre-release software has bugs, generally bugs get fixed, then software gets released.
FUD much?
I shouldn't feed the trolls, but I can't help it when *everything* you list (but flash - beaten to death.. I get it) has a solution that your typical tinkerer can handle:
This is limited to your time and effort. It's possible to run another OS on it - it's just that no one's done enough work to make it worthwhile for anyone but a tinkerer... Here's Linux on an iPhone from 2008:

the freedom to download software from anywhere you chose,
Jailbreak
Flash support,
This has been beated to death - I have nothing new to add.
the ability to export and import files at will, etc.?
Again - easy with jailbreak - openssh and a myriad of other options
If you have something like windows where security is bolted on after the fact, and OS that was never meant to be a multi-user OS connected to the internet (all these were added as features later on and done poorly) then you will have a system that is much harder to keep secure.
UNIX on the other hand was designed from day one to be networked multi-user OS, and security and separation of concerns was there from beginning.
Win 2000, XP, and Vista are all based on NT - I really don't think Windows NT was ever designed to be a single-user system....
....or are you still using Windows 98?
Wikipedia says of Windows NT:
"It was originally designed to be a powerful high-level-language-based, processor-independent, multiprocessing, multiuser operating system with features comparable to Unix."
If Microsoft is not involved, so much the better. ... I couldn't agree more, but the reality is that unless Microsoft is *gone* they will cause problems with any "standard". Look at the mess trying to standardize a word processor file format. It really shouldn't be that hard, but Microsoft makes it hard because they have the power to push their own "standard".
If such a system were to catch on, we'd be a lot closer to the end of spam and similar marketing practices. I can't imagine we'd be rid of it entirely, but wouldn't it be nice? The closer we think we get to the "end of spam", the farther away we will be.

Good call, good call. Let me rephrase: ...a proxy on EARTH.
Better?
In HTML5, the browser returns the latitude and longitude of the user to Javascript. Shouldn't the browser also return the planet, local star etc?
How will ISS visitors browse?
...a proxy at NASA.
ActiveSync is used to synchronize with the PC, when synchronizing with a server it's called Exchange...
Nope. It's called "Exchange ActiveSync"
-ActiveSync is a desktop app
-Exchange is a groupware server
-Exchange ActiveSync is a technology (in the iPhone, WinMo, etc)

.... to the right side of the window title bar where they belong? If it's not possible, I will not budge from 9.10 thank you very much.
just use the "Human" theme (that's the default in 9.10)... the buttons moved are only part of the NEW THEMES.
We're fine with moving priority to the new objective as soon as you've completed the former. ;-)

You mean like USB ports,
With an adapter: http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/01/27/apple-has-a-solution-for-the-ipads-missing-sd-card-slot-and-usb-port-adapters/
the ability to create and run your own software,
as others have mentioned - dev cert
the ability to chose your own OS,

Wait, do you mean a crap, free OS or a crap-free OS?

What you are talking about is "physical access".
Yup - I misread that as "physical" - settle down everyone...It's a local-only root privilege escalation exploit.
No, it's not. I can't believe this keeps getting repeated. You can run it via SSH as long as someone is logged into the console.It's important to note that the ZPL doesn't apply to the server, but rather the Web client. The server is under the Mozilla license. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbra#Software_license
you're kidding right? Microsoft would never have that.
