For most users, a package manager is illogical. You need to know pretty much exactly what you're looking for, especially on something like Debian where there are thousands of packages.
Generally, Brits don't have the distaste of taxation that Americans do
Thanks to the right wing press here (which somehow manages to pull a new example of a stealth tax (which really isn't) out of it's ass every couple of days), we're getting that distaste.
Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connection -> Properties -> Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)-> Properties -> (...set IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses)
That is logical.
Settings are in Control Panel. Network Connections are in there. You want to look at your Local Area Connection. You want to change its properties, so click that button.
The last two steps, perhaps, need work. Up until that, it is perfectly doable (and, also, what novice user would need to change their IP address manually?)
The Linux devs will not standardise their driver ABI, meaning each time you upgrade the kernel the NVIDIA module goes with it. If they would stabilise their ABI, this would rarely be necessary, and it could certainly be easier to work with than it currently is.
Also, X11 is unable to switch card drivers on the fly (i.e. without completely closing X and reopening it).
I don't think there'll be a need for a music recording infrastructure. It's simply many times better than the alternative (the low quality music you talked about), unless of course all you care about is getting decent music for free while saying "fuck the RIAA";)
It might be that bacteria don't scream and aren't particularly intelligent. Also that we don't kill bacteria for the fun of killing them with chemicals, more because they might harm us.
If there are any Slashdotters who could carry on those rhymes, could they please not, because reading the parent has made me lose the will to live. Thanks.

Only on streets. Not in peoples' houses.
As soon as that happens on a wide scale, THEN we can talk about a surveillance society.
I say yes. Boycott M&S. Surveillance society, yeah. Disgusting. ;)
Ubuntu does this, IIRC. Makes a little drumbeat noise when it's waiting for you to log on.

Microsoft, on the other hand, has spent billions calling free software a "communist" "cancer"
They've spent billions on two statements by one person? Wow, they ARE stupid. Or maybe you're talking shit. AGAIN.
Lovely.

If that happened I would be sprinting for the nearest bottle of whiskey and from there onto the painkillers.
Slashdot and YouTube are bad enough alone. Talk about synergy...

I hear she's GPLed. Unlike with the BSD licensed women, you just can't close her up.
It's simple; buy lots of meat.
Don't have to eat it, but you've given money to meat companies, which weakens PETA a little. Job done.
You can also tie it to an enemy and send him/her into a part of town where people own vicious attack dogs, for the ultimate revenge.
I think it's a little insulting to cats and children to put them on the same level as Slashdotters.
To be quite frank, I just saw that picture and thought "Jesus Christ, I'd fuck that girl senseless. Even if she is Saddam Hussein's daughter."
(Jokes aside, I see your point. But hey, eye for an eye seems to be the prevailing philosophy these days...)

...but it bashes the music industry, so it gets dumped on the front page of Slashdot. Wonderful.

You're about as funny as a burns unit and half as attractive.
OS evangelism as a Christmas present.
I know it's the thought that counts, but jesus wept...
That's the most pointless obfuscation of a company name I've ever seen.
Sorry. How many other tech company names end with "ntel"?
This is Slashdot, not eBaumsWorld.
Old AND stupid. Wow.
WMP10 could add DRM, but first time you ripped a CD with it it asked you very clearly if you wanted to or not.
Neverheardofit.
Seriously, this sounds like an ad more than anything. I've never heard of Gotuit.
At last, a reason to turn down cucumber sandwiches!
