It looks like Microsoft is only opening up the CLR to the cross-platform world, but so many of the.NET libraries on which applications rely remain closed and windows only. Kinda like if Sun gave us a JVM with no rt.jar chock full of utilities, UI components, and otherwise useful tooling. Don't expect that slick Windows.Forms app you wrote to "just work" when you try it out on Ubuntu.
There are explosives (C-4, RDX) which are more powerful than TNT, which would require much less poundage than TNT to achieve the same explosive effect.
You're absolutly right that requiring effort will scare off 90% of the trolls. When http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/ started requiring logins for the forum, trolling almost ceased completly. The only reason we don't see more troll posts on/. is because of the moderation system.
Wow. The screen shots are of an out-of-the box KDE install running OpenOffice. The title bars, although kinda blury, definatly say "OpenOffice.org" in all of them. The filename of the "Writer" screenshot is "openofficewriter.jpg." These guys didn't even try.

You're talking about entirely replacing the core of your operating system, and the download is only 42 MB. I'd say thats pretty darn good in light of the recent windows XP SP2 at roughly 255 MB.
- Distribute only the configuration interface, and download only the parts actually needed based on the configuration selected.
Thats the only one of those ideas I think is feasable, since the rest of them require somebody's arbitrary decision as to what is "necessary, common, and uncommon." Splitting the download like that would involve solving a ton of build depencancies and require end users to basicaly guess which packages they need.
Following on the grand-parent's insight, this must be a combination of Latin (fast) and 1337 (porn). Thus, Celeron is the fastest porn delivery system known to man.
Nerd: This program downloads porn from the internet one million times faster than any other program! Marge: Who needs that much porn? Homer: **drool** one million times!!! **drool**

It's called freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. Just because you don't buy into it doesn't mean millions more of us don't either.
Thats a decorative spoiler. It has since been removed, along with the big "wheels" in back due to the fact that they came off on a launch.
