The very bad "Click to front" and the lack of "auto mouse focus" makes usage crippled. Heck even Amiga had layers back in 1986 and was capable of doing it.

No matter what Microsoft tries to do. No matter what kind of candy it tries to promulgate. No matter how good Microsoft employers are after the fact.
Its simple as this: I am not turning the other cheak regarding Microsoft, No matter what!
You may find this blind BUT I am not willing to give Microsoft any ideas no matter what.
No its not a funny matter BUT how does the blind person know that he is infact shooting at game and not at a person? Clearly this will be dirt simple to abuse.
"21% of all the computer science PhD candidates in the United States."
Instead of having a market with CS people all over the place thriving they are scuddled into a very few corporations. I am not going as far as calling it communism BUT having everything in "one" basket or two is VERY dangerous.
Maybe it would leave Microsoft open in way or fashion. Ok I totally distrust Microsoft so I am biased here but it is my firm belief that Microsoft has more than their dirty finger in this pot.
Apart from CBC being owned by us the people (and we will foot the ultimate bill so why he is complanining is just a load of bull...)
How about showing two commercial side by side now that it is 1920x1080... heck we could even have 4 commercials going at once.
Thats 4 times the money from commercials.
OR how about this... instead of having commercial spots being 30 seconds make them 23 seconds for the same money.

"...but FC sucks and is probably one of the worst distros. In my mind FC stability is even worse than windows, sorry for this..."
I have FC2, FC3, CentOS4.3, FC5 and FC6 in production environment and yeah granted I am not running Oracle or BEA products so i can't say how stable those are BUT I am running "everything" else in server way one can and it is stable (load is on a healthy 0.25 on a couple of pretty hefty SMP machines) multiple MySQL versions and the works so I really have a hard time understanding your rant.
Don't get me wrong, I have tried the other dists all the way back to Ygdrasil, and from many aspects non Red Hat distributions have left me with a bad taste (yes including SuSe back in the day... even before Novell took over...) Mandriva or Mandrake as it was called back in the day wasn't much better either. So Ubuntu or Gentoo from a server point of view is at least from MHO a no go BUT I would NEVER say that they suck... they do not fit my wishes and expectations of what they need to do for ME.
Your rant however willfully tries to show a split in linux user base as we are some segmented distro nerds, classic divide and conquer. Only someone with a Microsoftish agenda can be behind this kind of posting.

Maybe it ran hot because Cool'n'Quiet was on? I had no troubles installing/using on a 144. My problem is the X2 I exchanged it with, where it will go warm quite fast (low noise environment so the fans need to be "slow".) Most of the time the CPU is at 50C / 122F but getting to 62C it will lock up (this isn't OS specific though.)

Minor versions would have been misleading IMHO
FC2 -> FC3 was SELinux addition
FC3 -> FC4 was major gcc change
FC4 -> FC5 was Xen incorporation
FC5 -> FC6 was major gcc and glib change
But this is obviously from my memory and 99% of changes (GUI ones) have been left out.
Do you want to feed a hungry man or teach him how to fish? I feel that teaching has a much more lasting effect than a cup of rice (which they will get in any case regardless of the OLPC being a success or not.)
The big deal with it was that they themselves were NOT involved in making the RIGHT translation for Microsoft.
Envision that Chinese was much more prevalent than English and that a Chinese company went in and made a English version of some software without any real linguistic help from an English scholar(s). I can guarantee that the translation will be worse than crap and if language users use this bastardized version of their language it will effectively erode/destroy their language. Even MORE so if its on the brink of extinction.
I personally know and talk a language that is going extinct (mix of Venetian, German and Slav and it is VERY old.) and would definitely NOT want a corporate entity fubaring it even more and faster.
You can make that 20 years. I have stuff on 5 1/4 that will never see the day of light anymore. And programs on my Casio fx180 (well... 36 instruction programs are fairly easy to remember so I am not griping over those.)
I have to say though that the device is one solid Prior Art... take that Sharp and HP!
I mean, if we for example trigger the climate into an ice age kind of way then its going to be really bad. I don't think it is a good idea to try and fuck with mother nature because she will only need to fuck us once and we will be gone where the dinosaurs roam.
