No. Japanese animators know that most women have different taste than men, even more obvious at young age (that would be boys and girls:P). That's why they have style that are boys-oriented and others that are girls-oriented and a few other that can please to both, mostly those for the "older crowd") For example, Macross felt definately boy-ish while Sailor Moon is more girl-ish. However, those stories with more character involvement will usually please both gender, even if the main character used to be an assassin samourai (Kenshin), there are big robots (Neon Genesis Evangelion) or they chase the bad guys in space ships (Cowboy Bebop)
Right, photoshopped girls, vs a real girl who is seen with actual people. You convinced me
Correction: gimped girls:P

Yes almost all the config tools in KDE asks you a root password when you're not already in root (which you shouldnt blah blah blah)
What would be nice though would be the ability to run the whole system as root, for a limited time (just in case you forget to turn it off). Or have an account type "between" normal user and root that lets you switch to root EVERY time you need it (you want to extract something in/usr, enter your password. Need to save that httpd.conf file from KEdit, enter your password)... I understand this might not always be a good idea, hence why a new account, between root and user, could be useful.
No kidding, I install programs almost everyday. I "su" a lot but sometimes it would just be easier if every tools would ask me for permissions...
That's funny, I've been in France about 5 month ago and that movie was playing there (French subbed - "Le voyage de Chihiro") But I don't recall seeing anything about Disney... So what are there role exactly?
I think that reinventing the wheel is fun. Useless, but fun. I want to create a MS export filter (not really, just an example...) because it represents a challenge to me. Using someone else code would work, but where's the FUN in that?
Call it ego if you will, but if there was no fun (or ego), there would be no reason to spend so much time doing those things, for free.
Now, for commercially developped OSS, it's different...
Please note that I'm not saying that all the users care... Some will say Linux is not a political platform etc. But it is the motive of some people, and sometimes not just "hackers", "geeks" or whatever. If the system is better (according to you needs), it doesnt hurt that it fits with your beliefs.
I too often hear what "average users" are according to/. posters so I wanted to tell you a story.
The story of my parents...:P
They are definately what could be called "average users"... They don't know exactly how their computer works except for the few programs they needed, and don't want to know more. Even using a "totally user-friendly OS such as MS Windows", they often feel dumb when in front of the computer because it won't do what they want it to do, for most of the time.
They didn't care about windows vs. *nix either, until I told them about Linux, which is what I run. They asked me the obvious question: What is Linux?. I tried to avoid "tech" talk with my parents because I know they hate it and it's really hard to always try to explain everything that seems so obvious to you because you spend so many times in front of your machine... So I just said it was an OS, like Windows, only better in my opinion, and that it's Free. Notice the capital F, instead of going all-tech, I started telling them the story of Open Source, Free Software, how MS is "evil" (they read the newspapers, they already knew that) etc...
Well guess what, a month later they ask me if they would be able to use Linux, and ask me to install it for them.
So what's the moral of that rather long story? I don't know, some folks care more than saving a hundred bucks...:)
Talking about alt-arrows... is it possible to change that (under GNU/Linux)?
Under windows, it is possible to use backspace to go back, and I got quite used to this... (or at least make the right-alt work since its closer to the arrows anyway...)

10$ it's done in less than a week.
Plus it will still be possible to use that method with your *old* hardware, like a XP2200+... :P
Hehe, will LUGs change as HUG. :)
For some reasons this makes me thin Of Fight Club...
Lawyer emulator? Sounds quite handy. Someone code one please.
Might be a good reason to NOT name the KDE versio0n kPod and the gnome version gPod. :)

Offtopic, I Know.
(You'll have to wait until the code source is actually free, though, which should be Oct. 12th.)
Like those kids on MSN Messenger?
Oh wait, that case is closed, right?
For some reasons it automatically put the last thread I posted to in the message topic... weird.
Tell that to Mr. Gates (as in Bill's father)
What disgusts me, in this case, is not the copyright issues but the fact that some people will actually PAY to have "clean" movies...
In this case, what kind of free is it? (beer or speech)?
I'm curious because I'd like to kknow if it will be possible to have translations in other languages...

Which means there is an infinite number of inhabited planets, right?
Of course, this means the population count of the universe is 0.
...well, according to the Guide anyway...
I'm not sure I love the look, but it seems I found the distro I'm gonna install on my parents' box...
I thought HHG was very similar to Monty Python stuff...except er... funnier :P
Guess what the "OS" stands for in OSDN...
Offtopic... but I thought your sig was a quote by Voltaire? Or maybe this was his real name... I dont know...
