Not quite sure what you're trying to say here. No one in Star Wars ever tried to scientifically explain what The Force was. The closest we got was Obi-Wan saying it's "an energy field created by all living things".
Perhaps you're uptight about midichlorians, the small life form through which Jedi can somehow tap this energy field.
But don't worry, a lot of people seem to miss the distinction.
KDE on the other hand, gives a lot more flexibility and power over the way you have things, but the trade off is complexity.
You should be using past tense there, friend.
KDE 4.2 is not the KDE we've grown to know and appreciate. Not by a long shot. I'm still using KDE 4.2 at home on my Athlon 2400+ and it is like wading through treacle. Nonconfigurable treacle. But I persevere in the hope that a 4.3 update will improve things.
uhm, what about the rest of the kids who might have wanted to, you know, actually LEARN something in the classroom without some unruly brat extolling her rights to be a jerk over their rights?
am I the only one who, upon seeing the term HyperVisor, conjures up an image of a space marine with a laser-proof face-shield with holo-display that can see through walls?...
If someone walks into a bank and produces all the right documentation and opens a bunch of accounts under your name that's not really identity "theft", is it? You can still use your identity if you want to. Should we call that identity "murder"? I know, how about identity "infringement"?
For statements of/opinion/ as above, then yes of course your assertion holds.
But if a post is/factually/ wrong, for example "Macs are made of contaminated gelatine and kill anyone who uses them within 6 weeks and the atomic number of Caesium is exactly 3", it absolutely should be modded to oblivion. Think of it as the antithesis of the "informative" mod.
It has exactly nothing to do with censorship, since anyone can browse at -1, and a lot to do with not wasting the time of the rest of us who like to browse at +3.

Damn local dialects. It took me a while to figure out that most Americans don't know what 'fanny' means.
Well, why not? He already works in the Bill Gates Tower at MIT.
Oh yes!
Here's to us!
Who's like us?
Damn few...
and they're aaaall deard

At work, well I've moved to XFCE.

Right, another store to which I won't be taking my business.
FWIW, Quake has run fine on the iPhone for some time now.
(the jailbreak'd ones, at least - the only ones really worth having)
You've never used Firefox, Openoffice.org or python, have you?
Clearly you should have gotten up at 8:30am :p
Please cite the article where KDE claimed POSIX compliance.
... and if such specs are found to be broken, they need to be either fixed or routed around.
(sorry, I forgot - All Hail The Spec)
I would be impressed if it could take a 70mph *sand* storm, which would be more relevant to the US military, no?
It means some poorly-configured program has defaulted to US Letter *again* and the printer, loaded with A4, doesn't know what to do with it.
Dear talented multimedia developers:
Please consider contributing to the Gnash project and make the Adobe flash plugin moot.
Yeah, or Halo for PC.
Oh wait...
World+dog simply avoided using compressed GIFs, instead turning to other tech to get the job done.
Yes, I was rather taken aback by this claim. That is until I read the article, which pointed out that they haven't actually tried KDE or GNOME yet.
I mean, KDE 4 barely works on my desktop let alone a handheld.

quite clearly I am.

When I first read this comment, it was at Score:4, Informative.
I just shook my head.

.. like the broken nVidia drive update they pushed out in January and silently pulled in February, with no subsequent fix.
Their official position on such situations? Back up and re-install.
Grrr
Unfortunately that's what happens when you give kids most of the rights of grown-ups, but none of the responsibilities.
I was ready to post a reflexive rebuttal to your theft comparison, but then actually read your entire post. My only response: Well put, sir.
