Bad Analogy O'Clock: Defining the size of a black hole by it's event horizon is like defining a river by its watershed. The actual physical object is a point in the middle, not the large sphere of non-escaping stuff around it.
You can keep paving and paving, but if no one is walking along the pavement...
Okay, actually, if I recall correctly, the main problem is the mass-production of reliably sized nanotubes. Research continues as we type, but progress is slow.
Similarly, I know Perl is a powerful language, and people love it because it can do everything, everyway. However, I think that doesn't necessarily make for a good teaching language - the open-endedness (if you get what I mean) can confuse beginners.
Well, the "Industry"'s come a long way since the first box o' D&D.
Now, you can find almost any setting to play, from the Hardest Science Fiction (GURPS Transhuman Space) through Scary Messed Up Modern Day Magic (Unknown Armies), to any kind of fantasy you'd care to name (D&D, Earthdawn, A Game of Thrones, etc).
So, find some people, find a good gaming shop, and start playing. You know you want to.
If people would actually put some money/work into getting decent orbital infrastructure instead of just firing off rockets everywhere, it'd be a damn sight easier.
GRUB, NFSd, Samba, any "system preference" like network setup, ALSA/OSS, codecs. They're getting easier, but slowly.
And did that autodetection you mentioned come as default? Was there some way you could just click "I want to autodetect shiny things" and have it automatically set it up? Or did you have to install 4 different packages, configure them to use each other, and turn off some other ones? (That's what my housemate had to do to turn on USB autodetection.)
Oh, and just for informative purposes, Windows can handle multiple mice. It can't PnP them if they're not USB, though, it detects PS2 and serial mice on boot, iirc.
I recognise that Linux is more powerful due to greater adaptability, but IME, monolithic OSes "just work" better.
Because IE's rendering engine is currently the worst out of the common browsers. It ignores several major standards, doesn't implement a whole bunch of CSS, and has a whole bunch of IE-specific 'features' which took far too long to wean a good proportion of web designers off.
Not only that, but Firefox is skinnable and far more easily extensible.
From The Official IE Blog's statement... "Beta 1 of Windows Vista and IE 7 for XP currently supports the web feed formats RSS.9x, RSS 1.0, and RSS 2.0. As Sean mentioned, Atom 0.3 and Atom 1.0 support will come in a later release."

Well, you could always play flash games with your Wiimote... To be honest, I probably wouldn't pay for it, but if it's free, you might as well.
It's only 10% the size of Links because it uses the IE engine.
Well, yes, but if the harddrive is in a bad state because, say, the mainboard has caught fire?

Unfortunately, it gets a bit harder to tell when you're looking at a vast organisation.

Where did my (-1, idiot) mod option go? :(
On a related note, have you heard of the dual-fuel diesel/sunflower oil engines?

Plus, almost everyone would run their computers with the switch switched.
Yeah! And why should pressing down the accelerator in my car make me crash into stuff?
Oh, such infinitives have I split. To even think that those infinitives were once whole...
Or just switch logins around every week with some close friends.

Well, almost. It'd be Linux, only with hardware detection, passably good USB device support, and easily configurable software. (-1, Troll for me!)
The 8.02 beta did, barely, if I recall correctly.
Why won't those darn people stick to RTF? :(

Maybe soon they'll come out with "ProgramFast"...
You mean Visual Basic?
Heck yes. Once you've got the package manager in, SFU rocks.
If you want it customized or fed to another program, you're screwed.
This being what ActiveX, COM, AppleScript, and Apple's Resource Editor are for.

This is just one example of the work of the Flying Spaghetti Monster in his Harlem Globetrotter aspect.
May we be forever touched by his noodly appendage.
