Sorry, before you were working _as root_ Linux didn't ask you for a password? WTF?
Either you were working as root _all the time_, something which anybody will recommend you NOT to do, or you used su, which asks you for a password. So I fail to see your point.
Well, I haven't ever tried a Dell, but I still find my Mandriva 2005 installation to work out of the box with my integrated soundcards, allowing for hardware (or software, don't know nor care) mixing. I didn't have to configure jack shit.
Complaining about an "old" distribution when newer ones with better hardware detection are out leads you to the obvious answer.
Oh, if you do want Fedora, I suggest checking out FC 4 as soon as it comes out, which should be shortly.
Well, I read it in an essay by RMS. Of course, it's entirely possible that he was quoting someone else, as you point out.

Stallman said "Your freedom to throw your fist ends at the tip of my nose". Building ordnances are there for a reason, the same that forbids you from tanning in your underwear in the front lawn.
You can't build whatever just because it strikes your fancy if it brings down the value of other people's property.
Well, this would probably go _with_ the housing code, not against it. Sure, nobody likes a trench next to the house. But neighbours with rotten walls is worse.
Housing codes aren't exclusive to California. London (UK) has them, and I figure any big city with expensive estate has them too. I remember my uncles had to ask permission to build a small round window on a barely visible side of the house, for Bob's sake.
"Equally, those keen for daughters are more likely to have success if they hold down "caring" jobs such as teaching or nursing, a British study has discovered."
That looks like a conclusion to me. Or were you talking about the scientifical paper itself?
Well, the sugar and water in the sprite form molasses when the water dries slowly, and it sticks to your keys. Haven't you ever dropped sprite on your hands? They feel very sticky after a short while.
My cure for this, if the keyboard allows it, is a bath with hot water first, then some alcohol. Better use a lot of alcohol to clean thoroughly, then dry it with a hairblower or just leave it somewhere warm. I saved a keyboard with the same symptoms (actually, it was strong nocino liquor, very very sticky keys).
This treatment is possible if the patient^Wkeyboard has a separate top with the keys , which you wash; and a plastic film with the electrical contacts, which you don't. You might want to douse a cotton ball in alcohol and clean the plastic film too.

The US and many other countries have in the past done the same thing for oil, fruits, cereals, minerals, etc. I don't see much difference with tech, except the tech workers should by definition be a bit wiser and smarter than the typical colombian/argentinian/bolivian/afghan semi-slave.
FOSS _is_ done in The Rest Of The World. So thanks to us, I guess.
This is something I really like about it (apart from the freedom, the openness, the penguins, the fugu fishes, the demons...): _everyone_ can do it, you don't have to live in the US. Hell, half of the KDE team at least is in Germany, and that's just off the top of my head.
ISTR the real eye works like this too: it doesn't have a great resolution, but makes up for it by taking many different images in a short period of time and "making up" the parts between them. Instead of a big 1600x1200 picture, it would take thousands of small 16x16 pics and build the main image from them. Fascinating stuff.

Can you think of any serious innovation Microsoft did when they weren't this size? Apart from Bob? Apart from the Altair Basic compiler? Anything?
Because having all the possible Earths collapse and disappear would be a happy ending?
Or maybe you were thinking about the way Fenchurch just vanishes leaving Arthur alone again?

Yes. The actual quote referred to the Spanish Empire of Charles V / Charles I (He was the fifth Charles of the Holy Roman Germanic Empire and the first of Spain at the same time). This was all in the first half of the XVI century.
I don't think the OP meant that kind of "normal" user. Certainly, if you administer hundreds of computers you aren't a "normal user" to me. You're an admin.

Seems to me you wouldn't get a metaphore if it bit you in the arse. And it seems to me that you're trolling too.
