What place is that? Quarian almost never take off their suit or masks, it's not even common with family. There's no mention of an open space (a planet, probably, due to how the sun is seen) where she may have taken it off. She has no immune system, so would have died on any planet I can think of.
While all this speculation is true, there are huge gaps left to fill in the enging. Both Sovereign and the other reaper you killed explained that their reasons are beyond your comprehension. The authors couldn't come up with something that fit the description, so they made the kid give a crappy 4 minutes explanation at the end.
Go re-do the dialog with Sovereign. It does not, at all, fit the kid's explanation. They despise organic life, and are themselves, "the pinnacle of evolution". Not pawns to a sensless scheme.
Mass Effect is hard sci-fi - except for those last minutes. Merging your synthetic parts with your DNA makes absolutely no sense at all. Why does stuff look like it had circuits on it? And how the hell did that come from Shepard DNA? He didn't have "altered DNA", he had implants.
The ending simply does not stand at the same level as the rest of the game. What you did in all three games doesn't change the outcome at all, you pick it at the last moment.
If you pick the "destroy" ending, organic races are doomed. Every ship, and a galaxy worth of fleets are left in the Sol system, which has really no resources, and all the other planets in the universe have almost no ships and are completely cut off.
Shepard was in a 44km long space station when it blew up in space, and is later seen in rubble, BREATHING? Did he fall into the earth and survive a several-thousand--km-long fall, or is he breathing in space, floating!? How can that *possibly* make sense.
Also, the geth only survive in the synthesis ending, which again, makes no sense in any way (at least it's not hard sci-fi like the rest of the entire games). How is purging the geth acceptable in a "good" ending. They were the really really good guys (every time they fought, was in self defense, and had no problem forgiving their agressors when the time came).
You're quite right actually. I'm rather surprised by the lack of regex. I googled a bit, and there's a propused draft, but as you said; it should be a core feature. Disallowing piping is due to it's nature; it's mean to be run on shared mails servers, by "users", not just power-users or techies.
The lack of ability to detect duplicate messages is logical, it's stateless and only passes messages over. It's not a mailbox organizer. procmail shouldn't be doing that either actually.
A huge advantage of learning sieve, is that it's standard. They day you change your MDA, you won't need to learn some other language, just pick one that supports sieve (there are plenty). The same does not apply to maildrop; you're tied to it, and need to migrate filters. I guess that would matter a bit more if sieve supported regex:P
How can they tell a place with "no data yet", from a place with "no data, because there's nothing here"? You can always add it. Wikipedia lacked lots of obvios information at the beggining as well. Look where it is now. And all thanks to people that decided to fill in the gaps.
Exactly! An even more fragmented *nix world! Instead of tweaking basic stuff to port between distros/bsds/etc, not It'll be a huge task, just as if you were porting to win32 or mac.
It's not just eye candy, compiz does add functionality. Alt+tabbing with 7 firefox windows open isn't the same if you have previews of each or if you don't (it's way faster than reading the title). Being able to preview all my desktops while I switching from one to the other help me remember what's on each.
The "drag-to-border-to-dock-as-if-compiz-where-a-tiling-wm" feature is pretty good too.
I don't really use any of the eye-candy of compiz anymore, but I sure as hell do use a lot of functional stuff on it.
Even now, in 2012, I still can't get PA to work with VLC when I play a movie in 5.1 with my stereo speakers. There's lots of peoplewith the same issue on the internet, no solution. ALSA works fine. It always will, probably.
Downside is, we'll have a more fragmented *nix world. As soon as wayland-native applications start coming out, non-wayland OSs/distros won't be ablte to run them. The solution would be to have X11 applications run on wayland, but that just means we still have X11 applications going around, and the issue you mentions is not fixed.
Aditionally, if the linux kernel already has redundant code: why not remove it from there? Linux isn't the only user of X11 you know.
You could say "after we've reached $X, we'll open source it. Those who pay now get exclusive access to each upgrade ahead of it's open-sourcing. Once it's open-sourced, you live out of donations/support/SaS.
Paying support+warranty is important for some (corporate) clients though.
just about everyone I know who bought a laptop before W7 was released (excluding the people who are adept enough to install Linux, XP or W7 themselves) are running Vista
I dont want to sound repetitive, but: the two of them?
On the upside, since I have a static IP at home, I just set up an MTA on my desktop, and send mail much much faster that using some external (innecesary) relay!
I still don't get how I plug the UTP into my cell phone, or my PSP. I also feel it to be slightly uncomfortable going around the house with my laptop and a very very long cable following me around.
UTP is great for desktops, and is what's most commonly used. Regrettably, average joe tends to buy more laptop/netbook/tablet/cellphone than desktops.
They do, and have been for years. Blame people who still go out and buy 2.4Ghz devices; since buying more would surely make prices go down (as always with this sort of thing).

Wouldn't that come with the added bonus of free cancer?

You can always add it. Wikipedia lacked lots of obvios information at the beggining as well. Look where it is now. And all thanks to people that decided to fill in the gaps.
The data is free, so who backs it up makes little difference; anyone can just move it elsewhere if MS does something bad(tm).
The data is free, the tiles are a bit more restricted.

I can expect the same from X11/Wayland.

Several orders of magnitude actually. If I were to buy a two bedroom apartment, my assets would be 150-200 times my monthly income.
Why is this downvoted? I totally agree, and I'm guessing that's what would sell the most!

Fancy 3D effects and transparency?
Why not wine, or a VM?
On the upside, since I have a static IP at home, I just set up an MTA on my desktop, and send mail much much faster that using some external (innecesary) relay!
Doesn't sieve do the same job with a nicer and standard syntax?
Set it up? Most people don't "set up" routers. They just plug it in. Done.
I fail to see how you can install WiFi in 5 minutes if there's no electricity.
If you need 500+ ft you wire your computer, I'm pretty sure you'll need more than a single wifi adapter to cover all of it as well.
