Windows does have some good points. The Windows GUI has several nasty features, one of which is the fact that applications controls their windows instead of the windowmanager. No real virtual desktops, and some other minor gripes.
IceWM takes the good bits. One of the main things I love when using Windows is the consistent interface all through the apps written in the evil Win32 API and the fact that everything can be done with the keyboard.
IceWM does just this. A windows interface with all the crap thrown out and good linux stuff thrown in. Keyboard shortcuts for everything and virtual desktops. Yummy. Give it a spin.
The caching of full pages on a search engine is wrong wrong wrong.
Nope, caching of pages is cool, cool, cool. Quite a few times when pages were yanked, you could still grab them from Google's cache. Or other times, when a server is not responding I'm quite happy with the cached version.
Copyright? That's just a word in a dictionary to me.
Actually, 7 is very far from a perfect number. A perfect number is one whose aliquot divisors add up to itself. 7 does not even come close, being a prime. 6 is a perfect number.

The GPL doesn't care, and neither does Richard. If they hadn't wanted a viral license, they should have chosen the LGPL or something.
I think you'de better read the GPL again. And this time have a dictionary handy. You've abviously completely misunderstood the viral qualities of the GPL.

No, the analogy is not flawed. The level maps are *not* essential to the game. The game-engine, anyway. 'Quake the Game' is something there are many opinions about. I bet lots of Quake I fanatics played custom levels for *much* longer than the included ones.
Anyway, there are thousands of levels available. Even if they don't give away the level maps *WHO CARES?* Make your own or use the maps other people have made publicly available. This whining sounds like you've been given a recipe by someone and subsequently become angry because they don't give you a cake to go with it.
And another thing. Have you actually thought about who you're saying this about? id software. The people who just keep on giving us cool stuff. Opening old sources, opening the interface to current games so people can do their own cool stuff with it. People who are very much behind the whole Free Software thing and also invest time and money in it.
This is just a minor extension of technology which has been in use for years. No big deal. Plugging it under the skin is novel, but was bound to happen sooner or later.
Now, before you start jumping, it isn't likely that the government will ever implant everyone with this. To start off with, most people don't do very interesting stuff and your physical location isn't really all that important in the Infotmation Age (tm). Ok, so it is to me, but that's another thing.
Also, it has many legitimate applications. Keeping track of your kids when going to large attractions, supermarkets, etc. You don't have to implant them, you can just hang one around their neck.
Or keeping track of elderly people with heart conditions and alzheimer. A combination monitor/tracer would be ideal for doctors and family members.
And, of course, all the usual about keeping track of your art work (like any competent thief wouldn't EMP it to hell...)
Yeah, really. I hate it when small time networks think it adds to security to disallow zone transfers. Urgh. Anyway, it has plenty of legitimate uses. Besides, what's the point. Reverse lookups are trivial.
It's a lot of hassle to type Windows NT every single time, so you use '*' to expand it.

Many compilers don't generate programs smaller than, say, 4-6k for FILETYPE LIMIT reasons. A stripped down image with just a ret instruction still needs room for header tables etc.

Actually, ICEwm has as a selling point that its configurability is minimal. The themeability is really nothing more than font and window candy.
