Says their including KDE4. Is KDE4 really ready for the limelight yet? I mean, from what I can tell, kde4 doesn't feel like its quite ready for regular users yet. Perhaps we'll see with the 4.1.x release branch. I'm sure looking forward to 4.0, once its got all its nice applications from 3.5.x migrated over.
What about GIMP? Its a rather large suite, packed with lots of various photo-editing features you may or may never use. I use it in conjunction with imagemagick for all my photo-editing needs. Not a bad combination, but I find GIMP's interface to be a bit weird, its like it was designed by monkeys.
Of course these aren't legal sequences. But
I was surprised that a quick grep through/usr/share/dict/words showed only 7 words having
just the letters A,C,T,G: act Acta at cat gag tact tag. Bummer; that limits
the possibilities for good jokes in legal DNA sequences.
(That was Debian Woody. Maybe a more current one has a better vocabulary?)
What ever happened to where game makers would create their own songs and people would buy the soundtrack? I remember back in the SNES/Genesis age, a lot of people would hum various Mario/Sonic tunes, sure they might have been low-quality but they were catchy. At least RPGs still have original soundtracks, I really don't want to play an RPG while hearing *insert song here* when an orchestrated soundtrack would be better. A theme song like on Namco's Tales games would be Ok, but really, do I even want to hear Kid Rock while I am playing a game? And even pay for it? No.
Hrm... good point. For games like Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution, maybe you should be able to buy the songs you *want* rather than having a bunch of preselected ones shoved down your throat. I can understand a select few to start with, but a bunch you might never want? Come on, I would like to modularize the cost if possible.
Considering EA games track record of using obnoxious DRM in games, I bet this music will come encrusted with some form of it as well. So, how many nails did you want for your coffin again EA?
Man, you got more issues then you can even imagine.
Whatcha smoking? All politicians are honest, it says so right here in "All the government wants you to believe about Politicians". Now, I need to get back to rolling over and wagging my tail for the politicians who are fighting all thems terrorists.

RIAA not telling the truth? Who'da thunk it?
Real programmers don't care what language they need to write applications in. They write them in C.
Nah, man. REAL programmers use assembly. :-)

It says that gene #45A79 controls glowing in the dark! It must be true!
I for one welcome our new phosphorescent, dna-engineered overlords!
Hurry, before it goes extinct like the rest of the Moon Water did!
