Good enough code doesn't mean what I said. You can write fantastic code, but if it doesn't do something useful, and by useful I mean something that the project maintainers deem as useful then it's not getting in. Even then, typically it's not getting in without several revisions.
Point is, it's not easy to get code in. You are wrong.
You said the only thing you would need to insert code in to an open source project was an email address. That isn't true. You can have an email address and submit patches all you like. They won't go anywhere but sit on the mailing list unless they actually do something useful, and aren't coded in a horrible fashion. It's not easy to get code in to a project even when you have a really good idea. People argue about how you chose to do it, and which whitespace you chose to use.
Why would I quote the whole thing? The rest of what you wrote had nothing to do with anything worth mentioning.
What processes are in place to protect users from malicious code?
The same ones that protect us from malicious proprietary software, execept there is many many more people doing it, and it is a hell of a lot easier to do.
Actually, it's the American Democrats who have taken the term for their own, despite the fact that they continually clamp down on liberty just as the Republicans do.
Actually it doesn't matter which party started it. You're all Americans from where I'm standing.
Singing the national anthem in school is really an American thing, no?
I'm afraid its much more rediculous in parts of Canada. We first sang the national anthem, then "God save the Queen" (why in the world we would want to do that, I'm not sure), then we said "The Lords Prayer" (even if we weren't Christian).
Also try googling "Manifest Destiny". You'll find this at Wikipedia:
Before 1815
During the American Revolution and the early years of independence there were both peaceful and violent attempts to include Canada in the United States. The Revolutionaries hoped French Canadians would join the Thirteen Colonies in the effort to throw off the rule of the British Empire. Canada was invited to send representatives to the Continental Congress, and was pre-approved for joining the United States in the Articles of Confederation. In the Paris peace negotiations, Benjamin Franklin attempted to persuade Britain to cede Canada to the United States. Canada was invaded during the War of Independence, and again during the War of 1812. None of these measures proved successful in bringing Canada onto the side of the Thirteen Colonies.
What's the point? If all you've got is a low end CPU you aren't going to be doing any serious graphics anyway.
I thought the point was to be small and portable with long battery life. Get a Nintendo DS if you want to play games. The most "serious" graphics I expect are some desktop effects, and maybe watching a movie.

Good Email For Kids?

What I, and others, want is a feature that says "Gmail: we trust your spam filtering, and are prepared to risk a false positive, so please make anything you think is spam completely inaccessible"
That sounds a lot like "GMail: I'm too lazy and or busy to watch what my kid is doing, so I'd like you to do it for me"
That's a lot of stuff. Enough to run a nice EEEpc. But not enough for the general Quicken-using public to use.
Bullshit. The quicken using public doesn't care about Windows, they just want to use Quicken and not be harassed by malware, viruses, anti-viruses, spyware, spyware removers, etc, etc..

Was a good analogy... Maybe.
Compiz shot us way out front in the looks department.
Thanks. I didn't feel like beating my head against the wall anymore.
You're a very strange person.

If you think its that easy, you are wrong. You need a contribution that is worthy of being accepted.

It's very scary to see people like you get brainwashed this way.

I'm sick of you people misappropriating the word 'liberal'.
We have no idea what, but we are pretty sure about it anyway.
Good luck with that one. Most of this century so far has been one big stupid panic story.
You aren't running them. They run on servers somewhere down the series of tubes, and your browser displays their output.
Believe it or not, there is already franchise opportunities available in this market.
I prefer 'c13s'.

In public school in Winnipeg during the 1980's.
Why would we do that? The U.S. gave us a whole bunch to point at the Russians.
You can have Quebec. Please, take them. Please.
Way to use the "Preview" button. You need to use '<' to do a '<'.

I missed that. Holy fuck, he is good.
Ever get the impression that maybe people are submitting this mail so they might see it appear here on Friday?
Call me optimistic but I just don't believe that people are this stupid. Close to it, but this is over the deep end stuff.

They can do that in Linux.
