The idea is not to make a desktop that does everything.
Rather, in a sense, you need a desktop for each particular application. This is an extreme example, but I think it rings true.
A word processor should turn a computer into a dumb word processor. An image editor should turn a computer into a dumb image editor, etc. Do one task and do it well.
Once you've mastered that task, you can work on integrating features amongst the different environments.
I don't think you fully realized the implications of how the third movie ends.
Here are my thoughts:
The Architect and the Oracle worked together to revolve the Matrix, just as they had 5 times before.
The Architect will let people from the Matrix... just as he did before (remember Neo, Morpheus, et al.)? They we're released from the Matrix because they did not want to be there.
We are told throughout the second and third movies that the cycle cannot be broken.
The Oracle even says at the end that they will see Neo again.
Neo realizes the truth, and plugs himself back into the Matrix at the end of the third movie (he returns to where he was born, to enter the cycle again).
At first I too thought some sort of hunky dory peace was achieved, but then I came to realize the story is actually quite dark. The humans struggled in futility to break free (and you can argue Agent Smith did too), only to return to slavery once again.

No, StarCraft was modeled after Warhammer 40K.

Protoss = Eldar
Terrans = Space Marines
Zerg = Umm, the bug guys
I can stop masturbating for months, no problem. Working up the gumption to actually *read the article* is another story entirely.
Probably the same thing we did before SCO came onto the scene.
Masturbate furiously.
Huzzah!
Learn how to fucking type, your post killed my brain.

Interesting ...
HILARIOUS! :)

Actually, I did ask when I called, and was told India.
Go figure.
Exactly sir.

Sweet! I gotta try some of these.

The Black Company is a terrific series.
I almost didn't make it through the first few pages of the first book, but I tried again.
I was very pleased.
Damn, what an awesome series.

Neo, the humans, they never had a choice.
There is no strawberry.

I have been noticing some strong cross-posting between Slashdot and Fark lately
Gobble! Gobble!
You, sir, are a genious.
We need to get you into a weaponslab, stat!
Mmmmm, chicken!
Oh. My. God.
I mean come on now, can we use some real units, like how many Libraries of Congress (LoC) would fit?
Let's get with the program, people!
Whenever I see one of your posts I get a strange craving for some fried chicken!
Hopefully he didn't have too much @stake in keeping his job.
And what would that be, pray tell?
