Well, that's certainly true, but don't forget also that anything that's controversial is going to generate a lot of discussion, which generates a lot of page hits, which generates a lot of ad impressions.
Yeah, but if they manage to piss of everybody the ad-dollars are going bye bye sooner or later.
Why are there no arabs on the enterprise?
Gene was asked that question... $1 in goodwill to the first person that knows his response.
I thought it was George W. who was asked this. And he responded "because it plays in the future"
If it's GNU software, then the authors have to given their copyright to the FSF (they have to). In this case the FSF is the copyright holder, und therefor it is the right place to report a violation. But linux isn't part of GNU. It's complicated, I don't understand every bit of it as well.
But readership won't increase. The people that would read the queue would be the people that read Slashdot anyways. As I said, I like the idea, but I understand why they don't do it. And please forgive me when I'm not clear in what I mean, but english is not my native tongue (BTW. you grammar and spelling nazis, believe it or not, slashdot is read outside of the US too. So stick your speelchecker-karma-whoring posts where they belong, thank you).
I suspect they don't want to do this, because then there would be people submitting stuff for the queue, not for the front page. Look at dig, the summarys people give are most of the times copy/pastes from the article. This would lead to more poor submissions, and if you believe taco the editors are already overloaded. I would like to view the rejected storys, yes, but i think it is not a good idea here.
E17, AFAIK, does not have a composite system (X11 composite). I've read some messages from raster that he's thinking about this for e18. What E does have is a XRender output plugin. Since Render is supposed to be fully hardware accellerated in Xgl, this could help. But if it really does make a difference can only tell someone who tried it out (and e17 is quite lean anyways, so i guess the benefit would even out ATM)
No. The produced Helium in the Tritium-Deuterium reaction slows it down until it stops. In fact one of the problems of fusion with a tokamak is to get the helium-ash out of the plasma.

The FSF has no copyright on the kernel, thus they can't sue or anything.

What do you mean by "quite stable"? From what I have heard, the dev-branch of Ubuntu is far more likely to break than Debian unstable.
And while I'm at it, they also "forgot" ReGenesis, a great show IMHO.
Buffy the vampire (s)layer a sci-fi-show? I suspect they pulled this list out of their ass..
A babelfish.
Yeah, rewrite a whole application just for the sake of it. Good idea, really ;)
Marcus Hammerschmitt, a german author, wrote a science fiction book about it. A really good read, if you understand german.
Mozilla is not under the GPL. It's under the MPL. A BSDish licence, AFAIK.
