I don't care much. It just amuses me how some people get all energetic and eloquent prozelytizing advantages of hemp, when in all other respects they're, well, potheads.
I dunno. My el cheapo P-660HW has a buggy SIP gateway that can't be switched off in the regular web admin interface. In earlier firmwares it had a bug in Wi-Fi WMM, also the apparent link strength degraded over time. It survived an Ubuntu release upgrade pull only on the third attempt. The feature set is quite OK, though.
"There is exactly ONE legal copy of Windows in Russia"
That's bollocks. I still use a copy of Windows XP Home that I bought legally in Russia for about $70. It's a no-frills "OEM edition" which I (and the retailer) considered myself eligible for, since I built my PC from parts.

Naturally upcoming Maemo (Nokia Internet Tablet) releases will feature ubifs, since much of the work on it has been done by Maemo Software kernel team.
Plumbers can't make 5 times what they make in Peru just because they live in the US.
Why they can, because they're surrounded by high wage earners who can afford spending more money on services (and expect quality in return). I can see your point applied to the less knowlegde-intensive manufacturing jobs, though. Hence, a motto of the post-industrual world: if you lack talent, go for services.
Here in Helsinki capital area, there is a fair amount of street toilets that are split in two parts. The cramped part is free, the more spacious and comfortable one is for 50 cents. Then again, there are very few homeless people in Finland, or there were, until beggars from Romania started to arrive in numbers.
there is pretty much no way any of them would work if dynamically linked to a libxml2 from 4 years ago.
Are we talking about backward compatibility or forward compatibility? There is no way your Windows application would work on stock Win2K, if you're using any new APIs from XP or Vista.
Conversely, your libxml2 application from years ago could work against a modern libxml2, unless you had been relying on some buggy or underspecified behavior.
I think you're barking up the wrong tree here. GNOME has been kept backwards-compatible for years now (the last platform ABI break was generally at 2.0). Same for KDE, at least they don't break compatibility inside stable branches. Now take X.org, Apache, Eclipse, or just about any open source project with a sizable third-party developer base, and you'll see they take great care in maintaining backward compatibility.
Sorry to be a bore, but it's a lossy transliteration. The name actually sounds more like Semyon Semyonov, pretty ordinary (except I wouldn't give my son a surname echo for a first name; matter of taste).
I use GNOME as my primary Linux desktop, and that's going to stay. However, this is an alarming thread between some applications ostensibly aimed at simplicity and improved usability. First, Gossip developers thought flashing in the notification tray for 10 seconds to indicate a routine state transition is a great idea. Then, Rhythmbox developers regard a play/pause button changing appearance accordingly to next action as bad usability (all hail the HIG). And now this.
Still, I think there is a criticall mass of GNOME applications which manage to stay simple without becoming idiotic.
You got it almost right, only Ros is for Rossiya, and svyaz is for communication. Personally I find this abbreviation still too unwieldy. As is the idea that one agency would regulate communications and protect cultural matters. But this is usual bureaucratic power games in Russia.
And of course they design their leading products by strict management of extremely creative individuals, not "design by committee".
It looks more like Intel can afford very expensive screwups because they always have some chips that sell well, and some brains to come up with new cool stuff. Take the Itanic. Or the Netburst, driven by "gigahertz marketing" into a dead end despite massive R&D spending. Of course, there was also a smaller Israeli team that did the right things. The gigahertz-pumping execs got sidelined, and the people behind Pentium M are now at the forefront, driving development of Intel Core.

Qt4.4 is bringing in a media API with backends to DirectShow (Win), Quicktime (Mac) and a bunch of sound servers on Linux. Does gtk have anything remotely similar?
No. Why should it? This kind of stuff is handled by GStreamer and PulseAudio, each of which has its own development community (including a few companies) around it. Which means there is no single central power behind the development, for better or worse. Nokia participates in all of these projects, too.

The idea has been used for an ad.

It doesn't support AutoCAD files, too. Totally useless phone.
Accordingly to one hypothesis, the cause of the Tunguska event was a spontaneous explosive combustion of a 5 cubic km cloud of gnats.

To be honest, GIOChannel sucks. But Glib has got a better I/O API recently.

B. KDE is more powerful than Gnome: The KDE IOSlaves and KDE's architecture is indeed more powerful.
GNOME has been including Gnome-VFS since the beginnings, and to the latest release they've made a better go at it.

Fines should be based on net worth, or at least income.
Yes, this is how it works in Finland.
