And running on Sid is a fun way to learn how to fix a broken system. I seem to recall my first major problem I couldn't fix when Sid upgraded X.org from 6.9 to 7.0 (bug with X11R7 and kwin or something). Be careful with a Sid system as you might end up reinstalling crap a few times a year (make regular backups to prevent the hassle).
Warning to Kubuntu Dapper users!

Whatever you do, don't upgrade yet! Not only is there a severe bug in k-d-s, but several other programs are unstable and cranky. Stick with 3.5.2 or 3.5.3. Check #kubuntu for updates on the matter. Seriously though, don't do what I did and have to deal with the pain of downgrading packages via apt.:(
Ever heard of the Linux Standards Base? If they develop for LSB, it will run on any Linux distro that supports LSB (namely, almost any of the big ones as of now).
Not all/.ers are alike; take a look at usernames of said posters before you go and group us all together. Despite accusations of groupthink, Slashdot is filled with a diverse set of people from around the world.
You might be on to something here. Maybe they just don't want their picture taken?
I like it better in the Czech Republic where you can take a photo with the Royal Guards (at least if you're a tourist; don't know if you can prance around the government area if you're a citizen).
The road leading up to true communism was centralised. The centralised powers tend to not want to dismantle themselves after the revolution they fight for, so communism never takes over and the people get fucked over by a new dictatorship. It's too bad, really; communism could have been a good idea if it could have addressed the problems of human greed.
Remember a time when banks were the ones who issued money based on their gold reserves? I mean, remember from history class? We could always go back to that system, and it would also help inflation of the dollar (banks compete on how much their dollars are worth in gold, inflation/recession can't really happen with that).
And here I was thinking I'd have to stick with 1.5.0.4 for a while. To be honest, I only use Firefox for porn right now, and it'll stay that way until Mozilla decides to support KDE correctly.
Er, stop acting like a moron. You can still write DRM software using the GPLv3; the difference, however, is that you will have no legal defence over preventing circumvention of said DRM. I agree that this is a great idea.
You could still make voting machines that only accepted certain GPL'd software. The catch is that you would also have to restrict yourself from doing so as well. You cannot grant special exceptions over code you don't own the copyright to, so it's either all or nothing.
I don't even know what could have caused him to quit now. Could it be the Date class flamewars? That's the only thing that seems to have been unruly lately in the internals mailing list.
It was so fast, neither the Newsforge article nor the Google Code website in question were available during the "mysterious future" period. I'm serious; the article had the "Nothing to see here, move along" message, and the Google link 404'd.

Check out the distro's forums or mailing lists. If you seriously want general information, read some books about things like POSIX, UNIX, etc.
Not everyone on Slashdot has a Slashdot account, so I wouldn't assume too far...

Videogames stagnated because Nintendo took a break during the Gamecube era. Hopefully the Wii will push gaming forward again.

This is why you sue afterwards. :D
I can get OpenOffice.org for free, legally. You can't compete with free, especially at $500 a pop.

When they say "Universal Operating System", they mean "universal". ;p
Anything with a Linksys logo on it tends to have the Cisco logo as well.
The brain somehow reconstructs missing information from the images to give a much smoother picture. It's quite interesting, actually.

./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install ?

If the user has control over trusted computing (e.g. can recalculate or re-sign a good state), it can be good. If not, it is very tinfoily.
Net neutrality can't really affect DNS...
Well, GTK+ is free in both ways for one.
