All good gamers know all game genres well enough to be bored to death by even the most interesting game before exhaustion, starvation, dehydration,... even start playing a role.
That depends on the minority. I imagine a "the minority most knowledgable about each subject decides questions (laws,...) regarding this subject" might work a lot better if it could be implemented.
... used to have a big lead over other free open source multi-platform editors.
So you say it doesn't have anymore...then could you please tell us which other editor you consider on par with emacs for a large percentage of uses (not just one programming language but at least 60-80% of those supported by emacs).
More importantly, how will they become richer and get more employment by shipping money out of the country to mostly US software vendors instead of buying whatever stuff they buy now with the money they save on software and probably spend for something produced locally (like food, rent,...).
It is a feature, but it would be an even better feature if they would document it on the login screen so users who don't know it don't have to rely on guessing to know what is happening.
Could you please cite an example for a program that pops up a (working) "click yes to install" dialog box? In my experience it takes a few more manual steps to run a downloaded program in Linux than this.
OpenOffice should have around zero community (not paid by Sun) developers as it takes as much time to compile as the rest of the Gentoo portage tree (10000+ programs) together, which means 24h+ on a fast machine. Which is the reason it is far from the typical open source product in quality.
Probably because you don't recognize stuff that looks different but serves the same needs (Latex, Docbook,... combined with vi or emacs) as Office Applications.

Actually Linux does care whats on disk, it just doesn't care about the name in the filesystem tables, just the file itself, which means you can delete or reuse the name while the file is used.
No, this is like saying if you come over to my house you can ask me for the blueprints and build a house just like mine which you can paint any color you like (and modify it in other ways).
So people who never read books (or their online equivalent) are all geniuses? Reading provides the "shoulders of giants" part on which all innovation today stands. If you don't read you just go off reinventing the wheel over and over and never build anything remotely useful (as you don't know all those things already invented).
If you have read permissions shouldn't you be able to make a copy and set the permissions any way you like on that copy anyway (ok, maybe it is a problem if the user has absolutely no write privileges on any part of the filesystem but in every other case it is merely a shortcut for copying and changing permissions)?

You forgot "...with an annoying name like Skype or Blog or Podcast..." in the "years later" part of your sentence.
You seem to be under the impression that all GC languages are made by Microsoft. However those are just a small fraction. All scripting languages as well as most functional (and functional-related such as Lisp) languages use GC and seem to work pretty well with it. I never heard of anyone having a GC-related debugging problem (as in real bug, not performance) for programs written in one of those languages.
Yeah, who cares about fucking Very Extreme Super High Resolution Video Bullshit. We just want recordable data media bigger than a percent or so of the largest available harddrives.
Multiple copies in multiple locations are impossible with current optical drives as they are so small compared to harddisks that even making one backup to DVD is a pita.

The libraries for Linux are there. We just don't have a Linux marketing department putting a brand on the combined package.
The original author of Emacs is RMS, the inventor of the GPL, so just guess if the CVS is openly available...

Actually if you think you can speak for all distros and don't even know more than one source-based distro you, sir, are an idiot. :)

Specs are to Code as End User Manual is to Blueprints.
Yeah, we will take your money and throw you out of the plane half an hour before the landing.

So tell me how do you enforce something on the international internet with your national security organs without building a great firewall like China?

If ion doesn't work right with Xinerama you might want to try ratpoison, another tiling wm which works flawlessly with xinerama.
