    2. I have a girlfriend -/. readers don't have girlfriends.
    3. at the University I graduated from last year - no /. readers actually graduated. They are either 5th year frehman, or they dropped out.
    4. There's lots to chose from -- ESPN for Sports, CNN and Fox News for headlines, and E! -no self respecting nerd would listen to this stuff.

    In short, I think this is a well discuised attempt at karma whoring, and should be treated as such.

    Speaking of Holy Wars. It's GNU/Linux!!!

    In all seriousness, the insistence that Linux should be "Free", and therefore be stuck with KDE or GNOME will make it harder to achieve the goals of ease of use. Ease of use is not just for programmers. it needs to be for <cliche> grandma users as well.</cliche> People need to start paying more attention to some of the UI's used by the windows clones like Lindows, on the grounds that even if they suck technically, they are easier to use than GNOME/KDE.
