I find the comments about Mac OSX elsewhere in this thread very enlightening. OSX has attributes of both a micro- and monolithic kernel. Clearly Apple is supplying common drivers in the kernel space that are performance-critical. Yet users can still easily install other drivers without having to, er..., recompile their kernel.
This is the sort of platform-independence that OSS developers take to. (The Windows license restrictions are probably not only unimportant, but may give QT a sort of psychological edge with the OSS crowd.)
Java in general attracts people who want $$$ from square one.
...and bugs that Microsoft leaves in their.NET implementation.
Mono will quickly become marginalized when people realize they cannot run some Microsoft-distributed ICL on it. Mono will have the usefulness and stigma of WINE.
A Communist party that is elected to govern will favor socialist solutions to economic problems, and they may promote the forming of communes and cooperatives to meet certain ends. But they do not exist in a vacuum and neither do their economics; look all across Eurasia (esp. at the local level) and you'll see this.
Your definition assumes political and economic extremism where purity is valued above all else.
I find it heartening that the Indian government not only identifies and fosters desirable industries, but is paying for disadvantaged people to earn a degree. Of course, American free-market fundamentalists currently benefit from this little bit of socialism.
Why anyone would want just one system or the other is beyond me. By themselves, socialism and capitalism both failed.
What this does is give peace of mind to developers who want to write for the Debian environment. Users/admins can easily run a script to make their systems compatible.
Contrast that to the Spirit mission at 800mil. USD.
Europe thought they had a better angle on better, faster, cheaper. Thanks to the US and now Europe's attempts along these lines, we at least have a better idea of what is probably "too cheap for Mars".
...it is subsuming of the state to corporate/industrial interests, perhaps to the point where the CEO class attain government offices that oversee their activities; also the corporate state focus collapses into a narrow buildup of "real power" including the imposition of military values on society, and using the military to grab resources for said power structure. When things become tough and uncertain for multinational corporations, they may try to clutch onto state power and turn it into the means for their prosperity. The politicians will assume the nation prospers by proxy.
Communism on a large scale tends to have a similar result, except that the corporations are conceived by the state in the first place. When fascists try to "liberate" people from communists, they are fighting over identity: the nation/race/aristocracy vs the state/proletariat/masses.
Fascism is just what unfettered capitalism resorts to when it finds it does not live in an ideal world.
Personally, I prefer European social-democracy. You need to be able to appreciate both capitalism and socialism and borrow heavily from them in order to foster a prosperous, equitable and stable society.

I think there are two main failures re: Linux system design are:
a) No consistent set of GUI sysadmin tools (like changing your screen res, or setting up file sharing, etc.) The services that read their config files must provide APIs to change and write them back.
b) Software installation can be very painful. The distros are concentrating too much on easy of OS installation, and then shove a shelfload of redundant software down your throat just for a default setup. Even a novice doesn't want to be dependant on their distro for applications. Sheesh!

Aren't you, like Andy, taking a purist position?

You lose, Andy loses... Apple wins.

I love you miss robot
electronically
I love you miss robot
programmed just to please
You make love like a metronome
don't drive to fast when you take me home
touch the seam on your silver skin
I feel so hard when you take me in
I love you miss robot
electronically...
I love you miss robot,
programmed just to please
Talk of love on the telephone
when your voice fades theres a paying tone
force a coin and your there again
and my loneliness is paid away
I love you miss robot
programmed just to please
I love you miss robot
Electronically
I must leave miss robot,
give yourself to me
I love you miss robot
Do you love me?
I love you miss robot
electronically
I love you miss robot
Programmed just to please
I must leave miss robot
give yourself to me
I love you miss robot
Like, where have you been?
Less chance of cutting yourself.
So I have to completely agree with you.
But don't forget WPO. It's still superior to OO and MSO for many things.

To ensure a minimum level of functionality and consistency between distributions.
I have long thought that Linux needed an analog to Microsoft's once very-useful MultiMedia PC standard.
We are, after all, trying to avoid being un-PC.
If PC isn't your cup of tea, then you're welcome to deal with the term "Gringo".

Tee-hee.
I would like to see something that would let me access existing VPN routers from home.
Modern diesels (now over 52% efficient) have all kinds of emissions controls on them, making them quite clean.
It would seem that using external combustion could present a bigger problem with pollution.
Otherwise, busses do appear to the best best vehicular candidate for sterling engines.
