Americans like you might provoke some people to take other Americans and "put a gun to their head and blow their evil brains out". Ever heard of the presumption of innocence? Not guilty until proven guilty before a court? YOU taught these principles, now you abandon them!
Some background: "Unlawful combatants" are an invention of the American government. The term was used to justify the execution of German spies in the second world war. It has no foundation at all in any internationally recognized body of law or the written American constitution. Proof: http://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/7c4d08d9b287a421412567 39003e636b/6fef854a3517b75ac125641e004a9e68?OpenDo cument
Terrorists are either PoWs (Geneva Convention: fair treatment) or criminals (justice system, local court, International Criminal Court).
"Unlawful combatants" are an American legal fiction to be able to hold unconvicted people without either international or national legal responsibility.
BTW: George Washington was a terrorist.(Ask the British!)
You are trolling. Denying it is not helping anyone.
Opera does NOT render pages better than konqueror. In fact opera does not even allow setting a background with CSS!
Konqueror does have fast switching of settings. Install the kdeaddons for additional menue entries, you can put any of them in the toolbar. You can choose a custom stylesheet("author mode")
Mouse gestures are being developed, so that might be valid, they are not ready yet.
Konqueror is MDI, SDI and split.
Konqueror has integrated search. Just type

My last 4 processors have been AMD ones and I was very happy with them.
Also I always thought AMD had a vital position as competitor to INTEL. Without AMD, Intel chips would be much more expensive and much worse.
Now we can see that to get decent AMD support in Microsoft products, AMD starts lying in public: Instead of comparing Windows(no TM) to Linux(TM), they compare it to Solaris and OSX. Of course Windows is better for AMD then the two, but even better would be an open industry standard like linux, which is prevented by MS and which runs on every architecture. Also I don't see any connection to the modularisation of MSWindows.
Thinking about Intel, I recall the release of the intel compilers and other goodness for OSS. My next CPU will be an Intel.
Things that bug you: * Setting fonts Should be possible, with a custom (manual - read vim/emacs) stylesheet
* custom toolbars for different tasks See Window-> administrate view Profiles
* too much clutter in window decoration Just remove all buttons you don't need as an experienced user in the settings for your windows decoration.
* Starting apps without kicker: ALT+F2 opens the best part of KDE: krun
* Windows key bindings bother you Choose unix scheme in kcontrol->LooknFeel->key shortcuts to get emacs like key bindings
I am glad you like KDE. Use bugs.kde.org to report any bugs or usability issues. Also check out dcop and kdcop if you are a hardcore user. Try e.g. dcop $(dcop|grep kate)
Have you installed the right font infrastructure?

Are your truetypes well integrated? "less $(xlsfonts)"
Do you use a recent freetype2? The later the better. Earlier versions CRASH on certain fonts.
Do you use Xfree86-4.2.0? No version before that is recommended with fontaliasing.

I use kmail, too and this lack of total encryption has bothered me, too. kmail ATM only signs the text of the mail itself.
BUT, thanks to the German sponsored project AEGYPTEN, the next version of kmail will have openpgp specified mime multipart encryption and also full S/MIME support. [And also LDAP support and so on, mutt will get S/MIME support out of this.]
By the next version I mean KDE3.1, which will be there end of summer.
You can already check out the AEGYPTEN branch of kdenetwork: http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/develop ment.en.html http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/develo pment.de.html ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/ae gypten/

Everything else you said was true. But some protesters in Rostock were arrested by the police. They were not protected. In fact the police chief stepped back from office because the police had not acted adaequately. (Which is understandable, they were communist trained people's police, all of this happened only two years after the wall came down).
The free press was shocked and a mass movement with big numbers of demonstrators marched thru every major city in Germany, carrying candles in their hands. "Lichtermärsche"
Freetype DOES interprete hinting, if you enable it by changing 5 characters in the source code.
Well, people, if the patent is not valid where you live, mainlya here in Europe, get these updated RPMS for SuSE I made. No guarantees, they work for me and the hinting works in them.
This will only allow popups, that are activated either by mouse clicks or key operations.
I have almost forgotten what popups ARE, by now.
Check out the KDE-3.0 release candidate next week, it is quites stable as a desktop and Konqueror is approaching IE-6.0 in comfort. In fact it is better in most things and standardss compliance.

Certainly RMS could have been more diplomatic (though maybe not, it isn't one of his talents).
Actually the "forgiveness" combined with "Go GNOME" was a bad insult. It has not been forgotten by anyone. It is good to see though that RMS finally wants cooperation between KDE and GNOME.
Add to this insult (for creating the first GPLed Desktop Environment!) the fact that NO KDE application had ANY FSF or RMS-copyrighted code in it. There was a little code from Alladdin (kghostscript) and the linux sources (kfloppy). That was it
Finally until this day it is not certain if the RMS strict interpretation of the GPL is valid or not, because QT might well be considered as part of the Linux distribution.
I wonder why nobody mentions this game anymore. It was released in 1983(??) and still is great fun. Just download vice (a C64 emulator) and use your old floppy with the original MULE game (right...).
Might well be the ancestor of all RTS games, IMHO.
and arguably it still isn't today. AmiPro 3.0 beat Word in 1993 by a long way. The only reason it became No. 1 was by bundling it with Windows... Basically MS gave Word away as a gift.
If you have never used another Word processor (like e.g. StarOffice) you don't know what you are talking about.
I could cry if I look at the problems my colleagues have with their MS Word programs.

Just to repeat the whail of the common Redhat user at major KDE releases:
:-)
Where are the binary packages for SuSE?
There are none, are there? (Checked three mirrors.)
Also quite interesting that apart from a little claimed speed improvement nothing seems better than in your other leading desktop environment...
Anyways, congratulations Gnome team! May the best team win (and may all cooperate!).

NOT TRUE. yast2 has several frontends, you can use it with a curses interface.
Also, why anyone would use SuSE and be opposed to QT libs is indeed quite strange. No rational decision obviously.
The war of the branches is over.
Any improvement in the X11 branch can be used in the LGPL branch, but not vice versa.
How is my post a troll?
All I am saying is:
* AMD makes good products
* AMD was/is good for competition
* AMD is fscking with MS for benefits
I then disect the main argument made by AMD.
My consequence is not to use AMD products anymore.
I am using my buying power as a weapon.
Very troll-like behaviour? I think not.
My last 4 processors have been AMD ones and I was very happy with them.
Also I always thought AMD had a vital position as competitor to INTEL. Without AMD, Intel chips would be much more expensive and much worse.

Try View->View Mode->KMOZILLA in konqueror.
Of course kmozilla does not work as good as khtml in konqueror, but it's nice to see that you could switch if you want to.

Should be possible, with a custom (manual - read vim/emacs) stylesheet

gecko is less advanced than you think. Try developing a CSS2 based web page and you will see why.
Another reason: Mozilla-0.9.6 can't even show an embedded html file (in an object tag). Incredible.
Opera on the other hand does not aloow setting background pics with CSS. Huh? Hardly wizardry...
The only tag that really fscks konqueror up is iframe and that is deprecated anyways.
Check it out, it creates an RPM (including dependencies) and installs it, from any source package. Really nice.

To find it type gg:checkinstall in your konqueror window
