In the Windows version you can remove the buttons you don't use by right-clicking and selecting "Remove Button." I haven't had a chance to play with the Linux version yet, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't the same.
They start with a change log because the second time someone visits the page, that's probably what they'd rather see. The third time, they probably want to see some useful information that they don't already know too.
The only time that someone needs an overview of a project is the first time they check it out. If that person is too lazy to click two links to get a general overview, then I don't think it's the open source home page that has the problem. The pages obviously cater to the people who contribute to the project (and, indirectly, those who just want to follow the project's progress). If someone is interested enough in a project to help it out, they'll follow the 'About' link.
It's really not tough. It's almost, dare I say, intuitive. Slashdot's homepage doesn't have a description about how it works, but even you managed to figure it out. So why are you complaining?

The article wasn't much, but the Doonesbury strip it mentions but doesn't link (bastards) is worth a glance.
Sure they will, because nobody wants to watch a movie that's been edited when they can watch the uncut version. This is America; consumers will whine for five minutes,/. will bitch for an hour, and in the end everyone will plop down their monthly fees and keep helping the media companies grow. They put 10 minutes of commercials in front of movies that you have to leave home for and pay $8 to see.
As far as defrag tools go, I can't comment on Disk Keeper, but I've had pretty good experience with PerfectDisk from Raxco Software.
Among other things, they claim to be the only defragger that defrags all data files and all NTFS metadata files, and they list a couple of other "exclusive" features.
H2K2, or the fourth Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) conference, takes place in NYC next July 12, 13, and 14 at the Hotel Pennsylvania. This year they're planning on having a little over four times as much space as last year to work with. Should be interesting.

Do moderators watch movies?

How about clicking on the 'About' link?

And if you don't like it, you're a terrorist.
