Kernel modules: Its stupid that something compiled for say 2.4.19-43 won't work with 2.4.19-44. I don't see why they can't be compatable aross the whole stable release eg, 2.6.x. I'm not just thinking of binary only drivers. It would make installing 3rd party and updated drivers much easier.
KDE/Gnome/X: Various core parts of these still crash semi-regularly.
But the biggest one has to be simply installing software: Its not the package formats that are the real problem, its the people who make packages that require "libsometing == 1.45-beta5" when "libsomething >= 1.0" would have worked.
There must be a reasonable common denominator amongst all recent distros. I've actually found commercial software to be the easiest to install because they have a moativation to do this.
As for all the different locations for configuration files etc. Just fscking pick one, flip a coin if you have to. I'm sure your way is a million times better but thats what you get with standards.
I've run into that before, but according to the change log:
"Winamp 2.61:
* In accordance with Microsoft's license agreement, we no longer allow you to use DSP plug-ins or alternate output plug-ins when playing WMA files. "
IIRC the origional one from 2.61 called it a restrictive license agreement.
It seems like their going back to being the clone company that they were when they sold 486DXL-100s.
It was nice having them actually competing with a seperate product for a while. Its a pitty the MHz gap has forced them to go back to being the clone/copycat like they were before the athlon.
"As the story says, though, "this could land potential Jedi in hot water as
those who record false information, don't fill out census forms, or destroy them, can be prosecuted."
From what was reported on TV, this is actually the only question where you can choose whatever you want. Anyway legal or not i've been choosing a random religion for years.

I'm probably a bit late but here goes.

What about VNC? There is version for PalmOS so there is probably one for the Zaurus.
I have the IP address of uptime.netcraft.com written down for when DNS magically stops working in windows (as well as ISP related ones).
I put up with using it for 3 weeks before I got around to reinstalling windows.
Or theres what I used :-).

Imagine if apple copied the idea.
Jobs will be able to show off his G4-300000, its 3000 times faster than a 486-100 at the same photoshop filter.
