Gnome releases are slow but steady. Unlike KDE there's predictable roadmap and revolutions happen on a small scale without actually breaking everything and making regressions. PolicyKit and GVFS are major updates and will allow a lot of cool stuff.
Portability is not that expensive anymore. You can buy 12" notebooks for about 700 euro or less. Yeah, they aren't that flat (37mm for Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo U9200, 43mm for Acer Aspire 2920) but they sport modern hardware too. And they have DVD drives... and ethernet ports.
Consolidating other games features is not innovation. Similar but separate karaoke, guitar and drum simulators were available for years. Just because technology enables you to put it all into a single screen doesn't mean you have invented it.
Spotlight was first but now there's Tracker and Beagle, usually integrated in modern Linux distros and Vista has indexing built in too. Not to mention that there's Google Desktop for those still using XP. All actually work.
I'm going to cry because display in my desktop computer went dead, I'll have to wait a month or more to get it back and my notebook doesn't have capabilities to play any new game at all. Jesus Henry Christ, talk about bad luck:/ At least I won't drop out of university.
I wouldn't do that if my motherboard wasn't fully supported but many modern motherboards have backup BIOS that can be loaded with proper jumper setting.
That's for games and porn. As previous posters noticed, little people want to watch movies many times, and on another note, they'll be more likely to download CD-sized DVD-rips. On the other hand if you're a gamer you'll going to need those DVDs quite often and given the fact that average game fills 4.7GB DVD you're going to run out of space pretty soon.
Care to back this up? From what I've seen developers are very helpful, feature request are always considered. UI is far more elegant and powerful than those found in iTunes and its clones.
How smart of Dell, who will buy Ubuntu computer when he can for the same price have Vista license? You get all the dll files you might need for Wine, W32codecs, etc and can install Ubuntu by yourself since Dell doesn't modify Ubuntu install in any way AFAIK.

Have you read these articles? First words from XScale one: "The XScale, a microprocessor core, is Marvell's (formerly Intel's)"
Isn't drag and drop extracting present since Gnome 2.20? I'm at my Windows desktop right now and can't check it but I'm fairly sure it was fixed.

Compiz is fast. It is also broken. Wake me up when it finally doesn't have focus issues. Metacity in Gnome 2.21/22 supports composite rendering BTW.

Have you ever used external SATA drive?
Lodz, kurwa.
:(
BTW, I can't post most of the polish characters
ouÓ?
Yeah, Gnome is now totally dependent on Mono.
The killer had also 5 toes on his foot. This rules out Gnome.
KDE killed my father.
Because those people would be marked as Gnome trolls. PS I hate KDE as a DE with a burning passion.
So you only install official Apple software on your OSX?
Yup, it's crazy. Don't forget Gears of War.

You can even emulate it (arcade one) using MAME since June/July. Took some time to break the protection mechanisms on Capcom Play System 3 :)

Install Xine backend for Totem, it becomes quite usable media player. It still lacks external subtitles support though.
not to mention misspelled "raep'

Sorry, if you believe in some fantasy, you're retared.
I'm drunk but I'm atheist while being sober. Sorry.
