Sure we want an anti-spam-feature in the OS, it would be "No open ports and no stupid scripting languages embedded in mails and websites that can install spyware/spamware". Correct me if I am wrong but didn't MS create 99% of their security holes themselves by using full-featured scripting languages in IE and Outlook (didn't they invent this stupid concept)?
I know many artists who base their total income on the work they produce. This has been going on for centuries.
You say it yourself. It has been going on for centuries. Only the most recent ones of these had copyright law. Artists could live off their art long before copyright and could do that again if it should be necessary.
And you are locked into Windows just like MS planned.net
Unless Mono gets some sort of legal backup I wouldn't develop anything in.net ...at least nothing that isn't portable to another non-.net compiler/interpreter if necessary.
Then they should start suing at the source: C is used to write all P2P apps directly or indirectly (the compiler/interpreter/VM for the language used to write the P2P app is written in C).
I built a LFS System but after a while it was to much maintenance work. Then I tried Sourcemage and finally found Gentoo which is exactly the amount of work I want which means it might be a bit of work when I change some config but if I don't have time for that I can still have an up-to-date system.
AFAIK there is a way to exclude parts of the tree (whole categories, not single programs) from the rsync update if you don't use programs from that parts. You should search the Gentoo Forums for it.
FYI there are lots of people using Gentoo simply because they hate the graphical configuration tools screwing up their config files (not to mention the rpm hell). Gentoo really is easier for a certain type of user (mainly the one not afraid of config files)
I would really like to know who started this "I say I like Distro/OS X so I want it to get 100% market share" shit. Just because I love Gentoo because it fits me doesn't mean I want everyone else to use Gentoo. However the latter does not mean I wouldn't mind if the Gentoo Community and Forums would be replaced largely by the same people that spam Windows Forums with Questions about their "cup holder". If you want to call this elitist I enjoy being elitist.
If you don't want to manually track source code and dependencies but want version that are not yet available as rpm or deb you should try Gentoo. After a few days for the install you basically have to tell it what to install (even cvs sourcecode) and wait for it to finish compiling.
Mixing local and remote file management is NOT a good idea. It opens holes where remote files can trick the user into believing they are local files and to be trusted.
Well, lets see. I use Fvwm. It is very mature (has been around much longer than all those Desktop Environments you call mature). It can be configured with the same interface as the rest of my apps (config files) has gettext-support (don't know about bi-di support though), the best multiple desktop system I've ever seen (they call the ones I mean pages, but all other WMs swould consider them desktops) and you can use different panels and desktop managers (although I don't use a Desktop as I mostly maximize my apps and a desktop is the worst place for the programs I need)
Fvwm is definitely faster than any DE I've ever seen and I use it because the DE are bloated with features I never used and never will use. Fvwm isn't for everyone (at least configuring it isn't) but it fits my needs. I don't think one WM or DE can satisfy every linux user's needs without being awfully bloated and slow.
I would gladly pay a few Euros more for a card which spares me the extra time after each kernel-upgrade caused by the incompability of nvidia binary drivers. This is my time and it is NOT worth nothing.
If you need to get stuff done you shouldn't use any of these Office Suites. You should use Latex or Docbook and focus on the content instead of the layout of your documents.
If your co-workers think MS- or OpenOffice are easier than Docbook they should get their head examined. I admit Latex isn't for everyone but Docbook is really easy especially if you know the english words for the parts (paragraphs, sections,...) of your document since most tags are just these names and if you are using something like Emacs' Docbook Mode which automatically closes the tags for you.
And how would you debug them? Would your debugger have a button saying "Kill corrupt voting official"?

Might have something to do with the Microwave operating at 2.4 GHz http://www.zyra.org.uk/microw.htm which is absorbed by water better than many other frequencies and if you used it for mobile phones you wouldn't be able to use your phone when it rains. 802.11b and g (11 and 54 MBit/s WLAN) operate in the 2.4 GHz band so they would have problems working from inside your microwave oven, your mobile phone does not.

Since when did the existance of prior art stop any company from patenting something in the US?

Why Chess? Why not "Global Thermonuclear War"?
You won't have to design it. It is already there. The Automation Tools are called shell script and the platform best suited for them is Unix.
How would you do the latter when you don't own Internet Infrastructure in China?
Meanwhile, their human rights record with their own people isn't exactly a shining beacon of grace. China's or the US'? It applies to both.

Because all the other Artists sign contracts like that.
