Maybe you're right about GNOME being faster. I just look at Nautilus and then at Konqueror and there's really no contest(although Nautilus for GNOME 2 is blazing fast compared to GNOME 1.4). As for the apps (IMHO):
And the beast shall be made legion. Its numbers shall be increased a thousand thousand fold. The din of a million keyboards like unto a great storm shall cover the earth, and the followers of Mammon shall tremble.

RC5 is not a public-key algorithm and has nothing to do with factoring, so this is irrelevent. Factoring is of importance only to RSA and similar algorithms.
One reason - it makes possible spoofed usernames like "by CmdrTaco" or "FortKnox on". I don't think that would be justification for not allowing spaces, though.
Something tells me that if LOTR had won, no one would be making this complaint. As it is, this entire page is just full of bitching about the objectivity of the Oscars.
And, it has the added bonus of being written in a fast language like C++ and natively compiled.
When running a game, the main overhead isn't the speed at which the instructions are executed by the CPU, it's drawing the graphics. As long as Java can use hardware acceleration with the video card, the speed of the language hardly even matters. Anyway, JIT Java can get pretty fast if well compiled.
If you want a non-toy, pay for it. iMacs have a purpose, and they fufill it quite well. Joe Sixpack can do his email, write his letters, play his games,and edit his videos just fine on an iMac, and he doesn't need a 23" flat-panel with dual Ghz processors and a GeForce 4 TI. If you think you need that, then you should buy a PowerMac.
Control-F7 is easier and simpler than moving the mouse down to the taskbar, clicking on an applet, and selecting the virtual desktop you want to move to. It's easier than going into a menu and selecting a "Switch Desktop" item. It's easier than any GUI way I could possibly think of.
And, anyone who can understand the difference between multiple accounts and why they might need to switch logins is certainly smart enough to learn an easy-to-remember, useful, convenient key combination.
My school tries to block stuff, but they're so stupid about it it's almost not even funny. They block download.com, but not www.download.com or download.cnet.com. They block Google image search, but not the Adult section of the Google directory.
Not that I really care, because I run a proxy on my home computer anyway, and they can't block it. If they block the IP, I can just reconnect and get another one. If they block the domain name, I can just sign up for another one.
Under Debian, the gdmflexiserver command will open a new session of gdm in a new virtual terminal (so you can login as someone else), and lock the screen in your current one. You can switch between sessions with Ctrl-Alt-F[789...], same way you would with a normal virtual terminal.
And it's even conveniently right there in the GNOME "System" menu! Just click and you get a new login screen.
it would boil down to, worst case, factoring n. Which isn't trivial, but the important thing here is that it's constant. One person needs to do it on one machine.
Okay, here's n, factor it on your machine this afternoon:
Slashdot Mirror
Evolution and Sylpheed > KMail
Abiword > KWord
Gnumeric > KSpread
KDevelop > Anjuta
GNOME 3, KDE 1.
KDE is faster and cleaner, GNOME is prettier and has better apps.

If you think the Gimp has "all the same capabilities" as Photoshop, you've obviously never been a serious Photoshop user.

You don't have to pay for a $200 Windows license.

Course it does:

True, but that's technically not the google cache. And who's gonna jack off looking at thumbnails of kiddie porn?
Unless you like text porn, you're not gonna get much from the google cache. It doesn't store images.

Your trolling is getting a little too obvious now.

Good luck.
Using the Freetype2 libraries, Mozilla 0.9.9 can do beautiful anti-aliased text on Linux. And of course AA is supported by default on Windows and Mac.
It shouldn't be.
And, of course, Googlewhacking.
Look closer. That's not Taco. Taco is user #1, and there's no "(editor)" after his name.
<hemos> Yep. No Flash.
You sure about that?
Yep.
