Wikipedia is meant to represent a non-biased view of people, places, and things. The anti-Santorum page you mentioned does not even try to make you believe that it is a fair and balanced view of Sen.

Actually, you can target the internet very easily. We will take Slashdot or any other web medium that allows users to comment on news. Psyops officers and paid contractors could work daily to post counter-messages to any discenting view about , say, the War in Iraq. This includes lying, spreading FUD, and posting links for people to "go get their facts straight". The links go to sites that, guess what, support their view 100%. It is very easy for them (the Pyops officer or contractor) to find these sites since they are owned or contracted by the DoD (often through various sub-contractors).
The GOP did something similar a few years back for the presidental elections. Howard (the Scream) Dean had this supposed huge following by people on the internet. Suddenly, out of nowhere, hundreds of blogs showed up supporting Bush/Cheney. This would, under normal circumstances, seem nothing odd except for the fact that many of these blogs were owned by only a handful of "special interests" groups. Now why the hell, as an individual, would you want more than one blog? The GOP, unlike their Democrat rivals, also do not use the idea of the "cosistant message". This is a message that all senators, talk show hosts, and radio personnel who support the GOP have to say on a given day or event. By spreading a similar message it gives the appearance to common folk that a majority of people feel one way on a given topic.
Now, we must understand that this is not new for the DoD to be engaged in propoganda wars on its own people. This was done, what, like every war? I think it stinks and if weren't for Bush breaking the law with the wiretapping crap, I think this would be just water under the bridge.

True. But I also see Java as a language that is currently evolving thanks oddly enough to Microsoft and RoR. Microsoft's.NET got Sun off their asses to improve the language and look at how slowly they were adopting new ideas. Sun copied ideas from.NET just as.NET original cloned C# off of Java. And Java is currently seeing gained interest in being the base for scripting languages with the eventual adoption of Groovy and Beanshell. RoR has those numerious oversized and complicated Java web frameworks questioning their design and starting again with the idea of keeping it simple.
Logical fonts are the five font families defined by the Java platform which must be supported by any Java runtime environment: Serif, SansSerif, Monospaced, Dialog, and DialogInput. These logical fonts are not actual font libraries. Instead, the logical font names are mapped to physical fonts by the Java runtime environment. The mapping is implementation and usually locale dependent, so the look and the metrics provided by them vary. Typically, each logical font name maps to several physical fonts in order to cover a large range of characters.
A physical font is what you should use to ensure the same font is used across platforms. And since each platform might not have that font, you should probably include it yourself.
In the documentation about fonts, the generic usage of "monospace" results in the JVM finding the most appropriate font it considers fit that description for the platform it is running on. There is no "monospace" font on every platform, nor "serif" or "sans serif" for that matter. This means that you are not going to get a monospaced font 100% of the time on different platforms. If you absolutely want to ensure you have the same monospaced font with your app, just include your own own true type font with your app and use it instead.
OS X Cocoa applications are the most consistant and well-integrated around, and you can write them in Objective-C, Java, Ruby, and I'm sure many others that I haven't cared to look into (I just write an Objective-C wrapper usually).

Putting a gui around apt-get has been around for awhile and doesn't seem to be "catching on" with users.
Now, taking your comparison of Synaptic supposed ease compared to Mono:
1) I download Mono program X.exe from site X with Firefox. 2) I then open it from Firefox's download manager.
This is taking into account that the following exists on my computer:
1. Mono is installed. 2. Association between X.exe and the Mono runtime in Firefox.
The reason for not using languages like Dylan or D:
1. They are programming languages. Mono is not a programming language, rather a generic runtime. This allows for programmers using their favorite programming language to create working parts for a desktop that are compatible with other parts possibly written in another language.
2. "Pre-compiled" applications require people to download source code, compile, link, and install for their particular platform. This is probably the #1 reason why average users avoid Linux. Most Windows users screech when they see the command prompt. With Mono we could get away from that and deploy just the applications.
3. Most advanced runtimes, like Mono, perform pretty darn good. I don't know if I would create the next Quake in it, but it sure as hell can handle a word processor or other desktop application just fine. And despite what you or anyone else might want to say they often times are more reliable.

I have one problem, and its with your screenshot of a Gnome desktop and the comment about toolbars. There are two applications in there that appear to be both Mozilla and OpenOffice. Both of these applications, from what I know, do not use the Gnome widget sets in preference for their own. I believe you will have this same problem with these applications on other desktops like KDE. I know both running on Windows look different from the other Windows apps.
As for the various different programming languages on Linux I can say that I think people should use Mono exclusively. A Qt# would be nice to see (if its not out there already). And before someone goes bashing me about the.NET stuff, note that this is coming from a long-time Java and C developer. I think that with Mono, the Linux desktop can grow without people having to load 20 different runtimes to get app X to run. Hell, I'm running Windows XP right now and have Python, Perl, Tcl/Tk, Java, and the.NET framework on my box to run various applications. That is stupid. I think everyone should focus on improving Mono and adding language X in to it.
Also, Mono should stop trying to mimic Microsoft's implementation. Screw them. Make a break and improve. I played around with it a bit and found it silly that on Linux it was compiling assemblies into files with the extensions ".exe" or ".dll". To hell with crossplatform. We need one framework that can run assemblies from many languages.

I wasn't thinking of sending the actual raw file as part of the email. MIME issues are the least of the limitations with that since most mail servers don't allow for attachments over a few megs. I was thinking more along the lines of sending URLs that include a unique key to allow the special Thunderbird extension I spoke of to download the audio/video file and send it to the iPod. Sweet.
