Scientists from the RAND corporation wouldn't photoshop in submarine control panels, they'd actually build a model. Since this isn't an actual model, the picture is probably fake.
Battery life depends on usage. The 8 hour figure is for 128kbps music, played continuously at normal volume with no other activity. If you're playing WAVs, managing your contacts, and skipping every other track with the backlight on, it's gonna be a lot less than that. Likewise, if you play it for an hour and stop, wait a week, and start again, you're not gonna have the fuill seven hours left.
My iPod got eight hours when I got it (last January) and it gets about seven now. Since I've never been on a commute longer than seven hours, that's fine with me. The iPod won't let you fully discharge the battery; it shuts off when you get close.
On DRM CDs: anything that will play in a normal CD player can be uploaded to any MP3 player. I don't see CDs that don't play in CD players having any kind of market success, so that's not something I'd worry about in the next few years.
I doubt color has anything to do with the legibility of your screen. Black on white is the highest-contrast, easiest-to-read color combo available for humans. My (BW) iPod screen is quite legible in pretty much all light conditions, whereas some color screens I've seen are really horrible.
The same in Gmail, where they don't delete messages.
Of course they delete messages. All it says in the TOS is that messages may not be deleted instantly, because it's a distributed storage system with a lot of backups.
And is that Google's fault? No, no it isn't. Opera doesn't implement a couple functions they need; GMail will be supported when those functions are implemented (which should be pretty soon).
Kerry and Bush have some similar opinions. They are not the same. Anyone who thinks so has is completely uninformed about their platforms.
Now, Kerry is much closer to Bush then, say, Nadar or Badnarik. But since they have no chance of winning, the pragmatic vote for change is Kerry. In the meantime, you can lobby for a saner non-plurality voting system that would allow people to vote for third parties without wasting their vote.

The 2.7 series has been tracked in Debian experimental for a while, so 2.8 packages should be along shortly. I'd wait for that, it saves a lot of trouble. Alternately, you could try jhbuild.
Basic functionality? Do you see a menu editor in XP? What about OS X? Oops.

No, it depends on RenderAccel, which is also supported by the open-source ATI drivers, the binary ATI drivers, the open-source NVidia drivers, and a good deal of other drivers.
Reversing the order of the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons.
Makes perfect sense, look in the GNOME or Apple HIG for explanantion.
GConf - Note: It's NOT like the Windows registry. It might act like it and look like it but it's just NOT alright?
Very true. It's easier to program for and more robust (stores data in plain XML, you can edit it with vi if you feel the urge), yet still retains all the advantages the registry has over text files.
if you don't like it you must be stupid, so we won't tell you how to turn it off
You must be stupid if you can't find the hundreds of pages telling you how to turn it off.
Mono - innovation at its finest.
Not part of GNOME, but still an exciting new technology - it's one of the finest programming environments for Linux.

I like the OSX approach. Everything goes in the trash, and you can then empty or shred the trash.
I don't know where you've been, but there've been about five Magnatune-pimping posts in every music-related story for the past year or so.

Donate a chunk of money to charity, cause obviously you've got more than you know what you do with.
I was talking about H.264, not Dirac.
Open? So, can you use it commercially without a license fee?

If it weren't for the government, we'd have been drilling in ANWR forty years ago.
In case you didn't know, you don't need an apostrophe to make a plural.
No one said they were. Your point?
Never mind the similar holes recently found in Mozilla and GTK, let's just bash Microsoft some more.

If a CD player can play it, then OSX and Linux can play it. If not, this new format will fail completely.
That'd only be a million.
If the distro vanishes, you can always switch to mainline Debian, the packages should be fairly compatible.
