Being able to bounce from one window to the other (of your 100+ windows) just to find out which is which is very bad UI design. Taskbars are nice for small numbers of Windows, lists of Windows with their full names, one per line, are much better for large numbers of windows.
If you want the ultimative customizability you should try using fvwm (with or without gnome). Don't let yourself be repelled by the default settings. You can actually make it look quite nice (there is a long 70+ pages thread in the gentoo forums about Fvwm).
Patriot fits this thing just fine IMO. Patriots are people who blindly support a country just like fundamentalists blindly support a religion. In my ears Patriot has a sound at least as bad as terrorist, extremist, racist, sexist or similar things.
...which despite better features than gnu/communist no one will use because it is in a package named kde-politics with dozens of other programs you will never use and needs a full-blown kde installation even if it is the only kde program you are using and it only uses one library call in kde-libs to save two lines of code compared to using glibc directly.
If people are assuming all commercial interests are evil that is because most big corporations get into media these days with immoral or even illegal behaviour. If corporations want to be seen as good they have to act with a conscience. Sadly stock markets seem to counter corporate conscience quite effectively and most managers seem to have no problem with that.
So run processes that might be harmful as another user. Sure your files aren't protected from your access. How else should you work with them. But who says you (physical) have to be only one user (virtual).
You can't do it with KDE (or Gnome) but that's just because they are dumbly copying MS. With normal, non-integrated Apps (like the dozens of other Windowmanagers out there) choosing whatever Browser you want works without problems. I run Linux without KDE and Gnome without any problem.
Wrong. Once copies of fingerprints or retina in a quality good enough for the given authentication are possible everyones creditcard is compromised until the banks get a new system.
Considering you only list MS and Sun products, companies that traditionally use their marketing departments to hype their products above their real qualities it seems about right someone uses similar methods to get them back to the ground.
All too often when a player is near a large group of other players they are hit with a large lag spike making large scale PvP frustrating and frankly, not fun.
Simple solution: Dump PvP, spares you (as the gamemaster) lots of other problems as well.
#1: One company emerges from the fray victorious, and becomes the Microsoft-esque supergiant of massively multiplayer online games. It happened with EA and the NFL, and I think that it could happen again with RPGs through the means of the merging of Blizzard-SOE along with few patents in just the right places.
No offense but sports games are so much more simple and boring (from the programmers point of view) it is no miracle there is only one company left who wants to make them. Basically they only advance in graphics and get some new rows in their database tables for current teams and players.
You mean every 3D graphics chip vendor smarter than Nvidia and ATI didn't participate in their race for unneeded rendering capacity artificially continued by new nice sounding "features"?
Perhaps there could be a BIOS Parameter to switch to "intelligent OS" to get the BIOS to skip Hardware Detection. Making the Boot Process of Linux faster does not yield much if the BIOS takes 10+ seconds to get to the Bootloader.

If you use suspend to disk the machine shouldn't draw any power at all.

Sure, you are limited to honest ways of making a living which naturally is a huge drawback. Playing fair is always a little harder.

I guess you won't understand what I mean if I tell you that (above a certain minimum level) money doesn't matter that much for everyone.
I guess (hope?) that would be about the point where the US Patent System would collapse and take the corrupt government and courts with it.

Especially since Dutch is the language spoken in the Netherlands, not the one spoken in Denmark (that one is danish).

AFAIK the Bonobo is even closer than the chimpanzee.

You (as a company) could get typing courses for your workforce increasing security and productivity for a relatively low price.

Would be a nice thing to have.

Perhaps one could say geeks have different priorities in aesthetics.
I would love being able to set up cronjobs to take the garbage out, clean the windows, vacuum the rooms,...
It looks like they are using the 10.0.0.0/8 adress space which is only 16777214 adresses large in the best case.
