Funny, I haven't had any of the problems you describe and I'm running KDE 2.0.1 happily right now. KWord definitely sucks, but everything else is amazing.

So are you saying that faster-than-light travel will never happen? No one is saying that Star Trek is reality, but it would be silly to think that none of the technology 'developed' on Star Trek will ever exist.
Yes but it only works as root. I know there is a way to install a wrapper that fixes this, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. The documentation just isn't there - which is fine, it's still a beta product, after all - but nevertheless, it doesn't work (yet).
I personally run VMware because some of my college courses require it - that is, they require Windows. I'm in an ARM assembly language class, where we use an ARM emulator (which runs only in Windows) and also an x86 assembly language class, where we have to use Turbo Assembler - pure DOS. So VMware does actually have some use, and it's quite an amazing program.
I use Mozilla M18, and I love it, but Netscape has SSL. Mozilla does not. I use several sites that require me to log in via SSL, so unfortunately I'm forced to use Netscape.
Gee, ya think? My point was that it's entirely possible people were denied new ballots in Palm Beach County because if it can happen here, it can happen anywhere.
Absolutely. A female student here at UMass Amherst realized she had misvoted and asked for another ballot. The woman working the polls simply grabbed her ballot and stuffed it in the box. This is certainly in violation of Massachusetts law as well.
On the TV show "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer," the town of Sunnydale is supposedly located on a Hellmouth, an intense concentration of demonic energy. One of the original focuses of the show (in addition to the vampire slaying) was the difficulty of getting through high school. Joss Whedon, the show's creator, has often said that many of the experiences the show's characters have gone through mirror his own high school experiences.
You're missing the point. This story has nothing to do with Columbine, really. It has everything to do with the aftermath of Columbine, i.e., harrassment of anyone who was 'different' by their teachers and peers. It's a real issue, and one that will never go away if their message isn't heard.
I think that Browne was deliberately tight-lipped on the electoral system issue because the Libertarian Party is preparing to mount a tremendous legal battle to dismantle the FEC and the CPD! According to a LibertyWire mailing I received today, they've hired Herbert Titus and William Olson along with a team of other attorneys in order to challenge the Supreme Court decision that allowed these entities to become legal when they are, in fact, unconstitutional. Check out this site for more information.
You're forgetting that Slashdot is, and has always been, news about what CmdrTaco is interested in. That's all. I'm happy when some new program I want is in Debian's apt repository; I suppose it's a feeling only Debian users really understand. Obviously CmdrTaco feels the same way, or he wouldn't mention it so often. It's gratuitous, but so is most of Slashdot. I'd hardly call it "blatant and deliberate advertising" since he's not on Debian's (non-existent) payroll. He's just mentioning something that he finds to be cool. That's all.
What's wrong with apt-get, or Debian? Taco's right. All I had to type was "apt-get install tuxracer; tuxracer" and I was playing this game. To me, that is cool. And apparently to the other happy users of Debian. No one forces you to agree.
Well this is good to hear (although we're getting a little offtopic). If you check out the MDB there's a link to some guy who investigated Retro Studios' servers (no actual cracking involved) and managed to find evidence that they worked for Nintendo. It's pretty funny.
I agree with everything else on your list but Mario 64? Come on, that game was horrible. It totally destroyed the normal flow of Mario games. It was akward to control, didn't have the usual powerups, and didn't even have Luigi. Need I say more?
Considering that Nintendo categorically denies that there is any Metroid game in development, I wouldn't worry too much. I agree that it shouldn't be a FPS though if and when a new Metroid does come out.

Amherst is not in Palm Beach County.

Hear hear! Someone mod this guy up!

Harry Browne was the only other candidate besides Bush and Gore to get onto the ballot in ALL 50 STATES.
Harry Browne was not on the ballot in Arizona.
Only on the Palm Pilot. Windows Minesweeper guarantees that the first click will not be a bomb.
Obviously you haven't watched "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Just because something is a "fact of life" doesn't mean it can never be changed.

Unreal Tournament runs on Linux now. www.lokigames.com
You have it backwards. This CD is designed to let you play Linux games if you don't have Linux (i.e. you have Windows).
If you think that government is too big, vote Browne 2000.

Or as Xellos might say, "sore wa himitsu desu"... I know, obscure reference...
Well in that case it's too late, isn't it? They should be changing their passwords on their _other_ accounts.
At the time it was released, I hated it :-) Not looking back on it.
