Touch screen keyboards totally count. Either way, you're correct, if you choose to live walled in, you're more than welcome to. If you don't, you'd best be smart about it.
Your desktop likely has the same malware problems any android phone will have. Why? It's not a walled garden. Well, android is in a sense more of a walled garden than your desktop, however not nearly as much of one as iOS/WP. Android virus infections are the result of a pebkac, and nothing more. In other news, I was originally going to make a soviet Russia joke.
Climate change aside, isn't reducing pollution incentive enough to look into alternative energy sources? We do only have one earth after all, and I believe common sense dictates that pollution is bad for it. Personally, I don't care if changes in climate are man made or not, but I can't think of a reason why reducing pollution would be a bad thing. Despite our differing political views, can we agree on this much?
The fact that Siri is a service simply proves that it's an OS feature that's disabled on all models other than the 4S (sort of like how carriers disable tethering unless you pay extra, despite the device being perfectly capable of it without paying extra). Last time I checked the iPhone4 had a microphone, and last time I checked that's what Siri uses. Just saying.
I'd imagine you posted Anonymously because you knew you'd be modded down to all hell for being a blatant KDE fanboy. I'm not going to deny the fact that the gnome developers are complete retards. They are. As for the build systems, you may or may not be right, I wouldn't know. Languages/toolkits? It's preference, plain and simple. Arguing "X" is better than "Y" is just plain retarded, what works for one person may be hell for another. That's a rule you can apply to most anything, including this (that isn't to say that I'd exactly want a DE written in slow-ass Java, but it could be done).
As for KDE from an end user point of view, I'd argue that while heading in a better direction than Gnome; it's still bullshit. If I want to bloat up my desktop, it'd be with something I could play [a large number of good] games on (see windows for more details). Simply put: KDE looks pretty, just like GNOME. There's nothing an end-user can't do with KDE that they can't do with something as simple openbox.
My point being, functionality should come before eye-candy. The code behind it doesn't really matter to the end-user, and it never will. The brains (or lack there of) the developers matter much more than anything else. Personally, I'm dualbooting Arch running XFCE, and Windows 8 (I'm a gamer, what can I say?)

Doom3 is idtech4, and Brink is heavily modified from the original engine, I wouldn't even consider them the same.

I won't give away specifics, but there's some plans to do something along those lines =p
Oh brave new world, what have you become? Just look at you, we were all supposed to turn into Ford worshiping, drug driven sex fiends, instead we do the exact opposite!
Wait, I'm hoping that? Wait, I'm not on a Linux desktop (at this very moment, anyway.) Wait, I optionally installed it on this computer... and it wasn't packaged with Windows, "you actually bought that DVD you burned it to!?" is how this message comes across to me. Also, yes, I am running steam Right now and should be playing Skyrim instead of replying to you.
Agreed, would one expect people who already own whatever it is you copyrighted and "locked away" to just toss it in a fire? People bought it, you can stop illegal distribution, but not legal distribution (like used copies.) You shouldn't have the right to take away something that you've given to people, it's theirs now. Period. With that being said, why not just have a public announcement saying "hey guys, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop circulating [whatever], simply because I've had a change of heart." Another option would be to allow a refunding of returned products, but after all that money you made I doubt you'd want to do that. Simply put, think before you release.
Actually, Mint now mirrors the debian Repos and it's only semi-rolling, if a package isn't working for them at the end of the month, they don't update it.
"but had too many programs that wasn't compatible" A) What? B) Uh, it's linux, and the Debian package-base is roughly the size of Ubuntu's, so I have no clue what you're talking about. C) What?

Why stop there? Ban human life for maximum efficiency.
That's pretty much what I was getting at. Stupid Anonymous Coward, you'll never get modded up like this! D=

Have any sources to cite? This seems interesting!
Sorry, didn't laugh. Your jokes are actually pretty bland, don't quit your day job bro.
I don't see ARM being mentioned in the post above?
I know, I know! This one, this one! Crap, that's not good...
Single digits seems a tad too high to me...
I'd mod you up, but no points.

I don't think you've been high enough times then.

Well, I did just buy a large iced coffee (with an espresso shot) from Dunkin' Donuts despite already being wide awake.
Mod this Anonymous Coward up.
Mint now mirrors the debian repositories and only updates the packages that they feel are ready.
