Keep in mind that the average home users is close to (if not above) 3.0 HT procs today....
You have a very skewed concept of "average", good sir. Too much time on Slashdot. That might be the average system being SOLD today, as in right this second, but that's far from the average system in peoples' homes. "Average" users don't buy a new system every year, and 3.0 GHz wasn't the average when they bought systems 2, 3, 4 years ago.
Nor is there an application today that the "average user" requires that needs 3.0 GHz. The "average user" may be playing with digital photos more, but they don't require maximum Photoshop performance. Slicing their picture cropping time from 4 seconds to 2 seconds isn't worth hundreds or even a couple thousand dollars to Joe Average In Less Than Optimum Economical Times.
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy! You can't install Mac OS X on a PC - therefore it's no good for virus removal on one. Same reason I didn't list Yellow Dog Linux.
My biggest complaint with the installer is that there's no back button. If you screw up choosing an option you have to reboot and start over from the beginning.

The next question, however, is whether us humans are really the cause of it.
And the next question is, if humans ARE the cause of it, does it even matter? Does the amount that we "warm" the earth truly matter to a planet whose natural geological temperature range swings into ice ages? Considering how radical the earth's temperature changes on its own, does it make any impact that we heat the earth to a degree that, in the grand scheme, can be whisked away in a rounding error?

Of course, every Bob Dylan song is better when played or sung by someone not named Bob Dylan.
Fact 1: To adequately judge a distro, one must run it in at least moderate use for an extended period of time.
Fact 2: The minute a new distro is released, people want reviews of it.
It should not be hard to see how Facts 1 and 2 are perpetually at odds.

The other BSDs are OK.
DEY TOOK AHR JAHBS!!
I've seen LCDs with even higher response rates that lack ghosting.
You don't need a 12ms LCD to avoid ghosting.

Especially since it is 3:00am Pacific (6:00 Eastern) - the only people still up (West) or getting up (East) are fucking lunatics either way.
Present company (West) included.
Not so. It happens all the time.
Stairmaster, NordicTrack, Bowflex, elliptical trainer...
Certainly no System Shock.
Judging by the Xbox, I'd say no.
(OK, that's not true - the Xbox is pretty sweet. But the joke doesn't work any other way).
Yeah. Because a penguin is not silly at all.
Uhmm.....

ME: "Hey, this is great! I can listen to IDM and doom metal and prog-rock radio stations on the go!"
RADIO: "Coming up next - King Crimson"
ME: "Awesome! King Crimson on wifi internet radio!"
RADIO: "Cat's foot - iron BUFFERING...."
ME: "Iron "buffering"? That's not the right lyric"
RADIO: "Politicians BUFFERING.... BUFFERING...."
ME: "Screw this! Why did I sell my iPod for this??"
Now we baby them so much that the sissies make it to adulthood, mate with other sissies, and spawn yet more sissies.
The iGone?
So what you're saying is that women are like evil hiring managers?
Who has ever had to spend 3 whole minutes on Google to find an answer?
Not true. That involves thinking. If we're talking about people in terms of "usually" - no, usually, thinking doesn't happen.
