So let's see, we could:
1) Scrap KDE and Gnome, put *all* the code into XFree itself, that way everyone is stuck with whatever "paradigms" you think up
2) Stick every single configuration file into one GIANT configuration file, which would be so big and monsterous that it would require a binary format, along with a special program to edit it and a bunch of API calls to modify it
3) Make 7-10 different versions of the OS, all built on essentially the same thing, but each requiring their own set of patches and updates
4) Launch a huge marketing campaign to brainwash people into thinking your product delivers a great "experience"

I think that was a mistake. Some providers try to cap users to 8-10 gigs per month. Of course, with that amount, you can't do much more than heavy web surfing - one big DUH as far as I'm concerned. I have ADSL through Telus (BC, Alberta phone company), it's 1500kbit down, 560kbit up, and they don't seem to care if I transfer 40 gigs a month.
do you really believe there is an omnipotent, omnipresent being 'out there'? For the record, no. It's irrelevant to my point anyway. The serious problems you point to are caused by peoples' ignorance. Ignorance of their own supposed beliefs, and ignorance of the beliefs of others. To chalk it all up as the fault of religion, and to demonize religous beliefs is simply another version of the same thing.
It's pretty easy to knock something if you don't really understand it or appreciate it. There's more than enough ignorance to go around these days, and you're doing nothing to remedy it.
It's not even Economics 101. Just because ideas are free doesn't mean everything ELSE is. I mean seriously, you can have peer to peer wireless networks, but they ultimately piggyback on peoples' flat rate DSL line. I think that we should continue to push for flat rate internet access. As soon as everything is metered the possibilities dry up.
Microsoft is only on Microsoft's side. As soon as Hollywood is either on board, or out of the way, it will be back to the same old "screw the users" game.
...when you accept an essentially free gift from the networks (however crappy the programming may be) you accept it on their terms...
Interesting, I don't recall signing a licence agreement. But when the major media companies own all the distribution channels, you have to wonder what's coming next.
Just think, we preserved backwards compatibility with all that shit rather than move to a better processor design. Fuck that, I'm getting a PPC 970. If there's one thing open source promises, it's an end to being tethered to an archaic platform for the sake of backwards compatibility.

I curse that movie for making that word popular.
I was actually joking/trolling. The sad thing is, it got modded "insightful".

Well then you'd just have Windows.
Really, the right to reply is no big deal. Check out the hate mail section onthis guy's site. It doesn't seem to affect him at all.
I am. Of course, then I could get a multiprocessor machine :)
Hahaha This is fucking great !
HORRAY !! Everyone mod up the intelligent comment !
How about BitTorrent a catalyst for world peace!

Maybe the goals of humanity would change, away from money and greed ?
And at all of 10 wpm too.
Why is this marked troll ? It's not a troll.
That's the problem with generalizing, everybody does it and it always destroys any hope of intelligent conversation.
I once modded a dreamcast. It didn't run Linux though. It used these weird 1.8gb discs, and mostly ran standalone 3D games.

Can imagine how brave the first person to eat an egg was ?
Whoopie, another story for Power Labs. What's their slogan again ? "We know just enough science to wreck something, then we call it an experiment."
Or, as seems more likely, they can fight SCO and squash them.
