QT/Embedded supports 2D hardware acceleration and KDE/Gnome applications are just a compile away. As far as 3D goes, you're right. Why would you need 3D in when there are no games around? I've used Linux/BSD since 1996 and I've never required 3D graphics.
Well, I'd say that if you're stupid and end up flipping burgers at McDonalds or pumping gas for Shell you have been effectively eaten by predators. Try reproducing and raising a family with that kind of salary.
This is something the Open Source community should also consider seriously.
The quality of most Open Source software has declined during the last few years (witness the Linux 2.4 kernel debacle!). Just freeze the fucking code and fix the bugs.
The class libraries used to be LGPL - but are now X11
And why is that? To make it easier for the greedy corporations to abuse the code?
If you don't fucking like that, feel free to take them and relicense them as LGPL
You can be sure that's going to happen. It's really a shame that I'll now have to abandon the GNOME for the same reason I dumped KDE years ago. It's just not Free anymore.
You make a good point about the fact that people should inform themselves.
In practise, however, if you want non-trivial things done properly you just have to trust the expert. Self-learning can't go all the way. I'm a physicist. I could lecture you all about the solid state physics of semiconductors and I've also learnt to build component level electronics on my own. That doesn't, however, mean that if I required a low-noise amplifier for nanoamp currents in the lab I would go about building it myself.
develop secure cell phone technology, the phone industry got some laws passed making it illegal to make, sell, or even discuss the workings of scanners with the ability to receive the cell phone frequency range
What?
Any references?
I can't believe this shit. The European GSM cellphone network has a (weak) encryption for the signal that goes from the phone to the nearest station. After that the signal is unencrypted and transmitted via fiber optics (= here's where your local friendly government can easily eavesdrop your calls) before being encrypted again for over-the-air broadcast.
The result: Joe Sixpack can't listen on your calls to your mistress, but the government can still crack on the criminals.

That is nonsense.
Vision problems are not acquired anymore than they can be fixed by exercise.
You're right. The only two "small" things we still need to learn are a) to colonise other planets and b) master our genetic code.

Who is this guy anyway?
He sounds like a perfect posterboy for the white power idiots and other morons who advocate racial segregation.
On the second thought, if you're already a dirty GNU hippie it shouldn't bother you.
Until then I just have to suffer and use the X.
I was quite mystified by this comment.
I'm not really that interested in knowing whether your ass is looser or tighter. I'm not into that kind of thing, you know.
That way I can finally get rid of the ideologically impure and sluggish XFree86 with the unncessary network transparency.
Well, it's not like the free software community can produce quality code either.
I'm so sick of you hypocrites. Microsoft has done more good for the computing world than all the Stallmans, ESRs and Linuses of the world.
Yeah, introduce a new VM in the middle of code freeze. That's a way to go!

I thought they were competing for the privilege to GIVE a rimjob to RMS...
I really missed the Linux sluts. I don't care that much about the *BSD chicks.

And where's Alpha these days?
Sold to Intel == dead.
Oh well, can't help it.
Does he love you long time?
Oh well. I've never actually listened to Dimmu. I like Paradise Lost instead. They've got nice mp3 samples on their site.
Oooh... they wear leather masks and use nasty words! I'm scared already!
If you want scary, radical bands. Try Dimmu Borgir instead...
What else did you expect to learn in a French commando school? The art of how to fall back and surrender gracefully, of course.

In other words, the answer is no.
Most people are not students.
You're forgetting that most people will never have any problems with playing these CDs.
They use dedicated CD players not CD-ROMs.
