The truth as I see it at least is that there are a lot of highly paid media types with one eye on their careers who justify every decision using exactly the same metrics as the rest of the industry.
Are any of those zillions, "remember the last size and position of the window when reopening it"?
Yes, why are you asking? It's right there, your options are: "do not affect"; "apply initially"; "remember"; "force"; "apply now"; "force temporarily". Overkill if anything.
Let's not forget some of the killer apps that are part of the ecology, two that come to mind are konsole and krita, both best in class by a mile. Who can complain about a painting program that many artists are starting to prefer over Photoshop, but free? I'm also impressed with Kdenlive. I never edited a video before and in about 10 minutes I produced my first cross fades. There's a whole lot more, including, let's not forget, almost the entire browser world, except for Mozilla and IE.
You can also left click on the window program icon on the top left. There are a really wide variety of window pinning options. You click through two menus and end up in a system wide tabbed dialog with zillions of options for controlling various kinds of window behavior for all kinds of applications. This is a bit more awkward than the old 3.5 interface, which was really convenient, but it does the job and has a lot of depth. You certainly can't complain about missing features.
... the last time I tried out KDE, I was frustrated that I was not able to configure it to remember any window's size and position upon closing that window, so that it would be the same size/position the next time I opened it.
Really? All versions of kde I have used have been able to do this, with varying degrees of convenience. In KDE 5, right click on the title bar and go to "more actions".
Google Confirms Next Android Version Won't Use Oracle's Proprietary Java APIs
That's not what Google is doing. It is switching the internals from Apache Harmony to OpenJDK.
Implications:
* Google overcame their longstanding irrational anti-GPL bias, at least for the toolchain
* Google follows the lead of IBM, 5 years later
* Google finally saw the wisdom of going it alone with a project that end-of-lifed> 4 years ago
* The Harmony project forced Sun/Oracle to fully GPL the JDK, achieving its primary goal, and after that had no reason to exist

Oooh, 3 of 100 times you could get that outcome, quick, call the witch doctor.
Closer to one in a hundred.
Low probability things tend to happen particularly often in elections
Sounds like Microsoft's completely fucked-up "stack ranking" bullshit...
Google has the same system.
How about this: your PC won't boot unless your phone is running Windows.
What more appropriate reward could there possibly be for sliming Nokia to death?
...the fact that they are useless for any topic with even a whiff of controversy
Is Britannica better? Wall Street Journal? People Magazine? Please advise.
5. Organizes conferences
6. Promulgates a wildly exaggerated impression of their importance to the community
7. Mutual admiration society
It is easy to dwell on the warts and overlook the fact that the epic journey to world domination has, in most respects, succeeded.
Let me guess, you didn't have anything to say, so you just went for ad hominem attack.
True, let's replay that. Sure, all presidents have flaws but Trump has the potential to take it to an entirely new and unimaginably destructive level.
I think that Trump's ridiculous statements have less to do with him being stupid than with him courting the stupid demographic.
It's the stupid courting the stupid.
Let me guess, you didn't have anything to say, so you said that. Suggest you join the Trump campaign.
the money you save in bandwidth might go straight to licensing fees
+1 Nailed it. And since bandwidth always increases while license fees usually do not decease, the deal gets worse the longer you play this game.

if you wash away the buzz this sounds a lot like existing enterprise visualization setups.
I wonder what a dog thinks when it watches television?
By disrupting the electrical grid you aren't helping either side, and are actively putting people at risk.
Much in the same spirit as Russia bombing civilians in Syria, don't you think?
IPv6 took a long time to get to 10% because it's a pain in the ass to support two things.
And because it's more clumsy and unpleasant to use than IPv4
Further to that, Javalobby has the definitive analysis and answers a bunch of misconceptions.

The article comes across as factual reporting on a subject of general interest, whereas your post is biased.
Let me get this straight, you equate nuclear bomb production with civilian power generation?
