The "desktop metaphor" as you call it is old and ineffective. I'd much rather monitor my important folders in an organized way instead of having to put stuff in one folder and move things around all day.
The new way of organizing the desktop is IMHO the most appealing aspect of KDE4. But as with the rest of KDE4, not finished yet.
I know what your point is, but I think your example is a bit confusing. When I read your post I thought that I had to provide something physical, or extra material.
Strictly speaking, "selling" means trading goods for money. Selling a copy of a free program is legitimate, and we encourage it.
However, when people think of "selling software", they usually imagine doing it the way most companies do it: making the software proprietary rather than free.
So unless you're going to draw distinctions carefully, the way this article does, we suggest it is better to avoid using the term "selling software" and choose some other wording instead. For example, you could say "distributing free software for a fee" - that is unambiguous.
For goodness sake, the majority of comments I read about Win 7 are almost overwhelmingly positive.
As I can recall, comments about Vista was just the same, until it was released. It was going to be much faster and have the most beautiful UI you've ever seen, and would be the best windows version to date. Look what we got. Now windows 7 will be the best windows version... right!
I'm also surprised. Every java-program I've run on both windows and Linux was slower on Linux. For instance I made a program which fetched the contents of the clipboard. On windows it took 33ms, and on Linux about 800ms.
I also discovered a lot of inconsistencies in "cross-platform" java. When I push and hold down a button in windows it's received as Down - pause - down down down... And on Linux it was for some reason Down Up Down Up...
At first there was only one WRT54G, which had enough memory for custom firmwares. But then they cut down on the memory to reduce cost, so the new WRT54G didn't have enough memory for custom firmware. But the customers complained and wanted more memory. So they released WRT54GL, which had more memory. So I think all of the WRT54G and GL-series run linux.
Did you know that all the other players who were speed leveling was doing the same? And they didn't get banned. It was because he was twice as fast as the second fastest that they thought he was doing something else.
But does it make self-signed HTTPS worse than plain HTTP? HTTP is the most insecure and easiest to attack. Why should it be harder to use the more secure one?
The only thing that's worse is that they might feel secure when they're not. But that don't justify making it harder to visit HTTPS-sites. Just notify the user in a sane way.

Oh, that's why typewriters didn't type LOL very often.
Yeah, lets use buck from now.
Those hard drives are bucked up!
Oh man.. and I thought I had a problem with my 5 drives.
Well... then we've learned to never bet all on one horse. right...
The point being you have a wife?

What you mean is what GNU says here.

How do you return a download?
You upload it of course!

Exactly. And use the power of exponential!
You just got Reikk-rolled.
Strange, my cat did the same thing. I wonder if it's more than a coincidence. Maybe they have a bug?
You couldn't have been closer to what I was thinking. Spot on.

I suggest iperf.
iperf -s on the server side
iperf -c <server ip> on the client side.

Just wait for OLED and it'll be true again.
That is because they are searching for "free porn" and end up having to pay somehow.
Hey, it still works in Vista!

Out of interest, what do you consider the smallest possible user base [...] open source

Umh.. why would you need 360 degree view in your eye socket?
I have 6 x 7200.11 1TB-drives, and have yetttttttttttttttttttt to see any hick-upppppppppppppppps.
Hey, I have an idea. Lets patent "prior art"!

It even complies with Unix' "Do one thing, and do it well"
