Is it for a technical reason or just because the programmers got used to everyone running as admin anyway and didn't bother to check if it runs as normal user?
This is the main reason why I think one (group of) person in control is a Bad Idead (TM). I think IT decisions should be made by the Head of IT Department, financial decisions by the head of Finances,...
That way no single person has the power to ruin it for the whole company.
If you are a car mechanic you won't "let" your wive drive double the recommended time without an oil change or if you are a doctor you won't "let" her travel into countries with fatal diseases without the necessary precautions.
If they don't want to waste enery they should stop making KDE- and Gnome-only software. This leads to vast amounts of duplicated apps. (not to mention the additional memory hog when you want to use one of them each and have to load both libraries)
Don't know about your journaled filesystems but my filesystem checks with ReiserFS need only 2-3 seconds per device even if something went wrong the last shutdown. Hardly worth the effort to put them in the background.
I would say for every company I bought things from because of good ads there are ten companies I avoid for real bad ads. There are two possible conclusions: Either Advertising isn't worth it for the companies that buy ads or there are too many bad marketing people out there.
LOC isn't a good measurement IMHO. You should take two parts that provide roughly the same functionality independent from the LOC and compare the number of bugs.
And why do you need a browser plugin for Movies? What is so special about movies that you can't just save them (or a description file if you talk streaming) and open them in the specialized player? Why must they be embedded in the Browser?
What we need is something like emacs or fvwm as a browser. Something everyone can customize to his/her needs with an easy-to-use, easy-to-exchange scripting language which is big in terms of 1980 but small compared to modern browsers.
Making a good 3D Game for people living in a 3D World is a totally different thing than making an efficient 3D UI for people trying to manipulate the most complex (home-)machine ever built by humans.

So if a doctor sees his wife has some strange red dots on her face he does ignore it until she asks him wether this is a problem?
And why exactly does a game need to be admin?

I solved this problem a few months ago. Now I do everything serious (including surfing, movies, mp3s) on Linux while Windows is only for Games.

I don't think the OP meant it that way.

If you need more security you could always setup the app that might be a problem to run in a chroot or even as a separate user.
Ok, I know about negative growth but WTF are negative birth rates? "Today -20 children were born..."?
It is human error...or isn't greed human error?
So it is not their fault all users run as administrator per default?
If they don't want to waste enery they should stop making KDE- and Gnome-only software. This leads to vast amounts of duplicated apps. (not to mention the additional memory hog when you want to use one of them each and have to load both libraries)
And why would you use a ten year old boot floppy without support for modern filesystems?

The graph clearly shows a steep decline in hits before the posting on /. to generate more hits.
That would be case-modding, not overclocking ;)
With this being mechanical Gates suffering from friction using gates to emulate other gates isn't desirable.
Or if it pisses you off even more you could do the same with the advertiser/dvd-producer.

So you say google doesn't update the caches in all it's thousands of computers in an atomic way? Who would have guessed that...
So I can have lots of categories with each of them having one entry? Thanks, but no thanks.

So if you make them unreadable anyway why waste the space by not maximizing the window you currently use?
Why would you want to do things inside the computer exactly the way you do them in RL?
Wouldn't that contradict using the computer in the first place?
