Actually, if you force the antivirus think it's pirated (using a virus), the antivirus may screw up the whole system (happened once with Kaspersky Anti-virus). The best way to screw up a Windows system is to force it thinking that it's not activated.
Yes, KDE's CD ripper simply rocks! When I first inserted a CD and it showed me a set of folders of.ogg,.cda,.wav files of the music on the CD and even a folder with CD data (Artist, album, etc.), my jaw dropped. I really didn't know my computer could be THAT easy to use. I like the "everything is a file" philosophy more and more.
I have a Genius keyboard with 12 extra keys. Guess what? All of tham are used. I've assigned about 7 buttons to control Rhythmbox (very convenient, especially if I don't want to look at the monitor), others are used to start Nautilus, Firefox, Evolution, Beagle etc. However I don't need more than 3 buttons on a mouse. What would be IMHO wiser is a second programmable keyboard (or simply with weird keycodes to be assigned stuff later in X.org) to be used as an app launcher and perhaps for actions like Undo, instrument choosing in Gimp, maybe some gaming commands.

Re:GCC is important, but what about progress in C+

GCC 4.1 Released

GUI? There are QT, GTK, wxWidgets, Motif(sic!), possibly even MFC support. If you include all these into GCC, you'll get a bloated thing. If you create something new, people will have more trouble choosing the right toolkit. If you want gui, threads, sockets, XML, etc., you can try QT - all these in a single relatively small package.
Two days ago I got a free copy of Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 (4 DVDs in one box), delivered by DHL directly to my door. Because Microsoft charges $20 for delivery (based on what other trials cost), and, say, $5 for CDs, they spend $25 on a guy who hates them as much as possible. The funniest thing is that I wanted to switch to Windows back from Ubuntu (seriously!). But now that evil idea is gone...
I remember buying a PIII-1000 processor and finding out if it worked on my motherboard (not supporting Tualatin, only Commpermine cores). It was hell. Intel doesn't use the words "Tualatin" or "Coppermine" anywhere on their website, no difference datasheet etc. Finding out which chipsets support some CPU is definetly not a trivial task. In the end I bought a CPU that looked like Tualatin but was in fact Coppermine.
Are you mad? Missing all the DRM stuff from WMP and its integration with IE? Sorry if I insulted anyone, but I think that Amarok/Kaffeine will do the job better on Linux. What you are saying is like running Winamp3 through Wine on Linux. Sure, it works, but it integrates worse that Gnome apps in KDE and KDE apps in Gnome.
PalmOS has 100s of files in one dir (in fact, you can't create directories but rather apply categories to files), and it's hell to manage that. But if you start some app (e.g. text processing, image viewing etc.), the app itself shows only the files it supports and usually offers some kind of classification for easy navigation. It's great if everything works as intended, but usually apps leave their files behind after being erased or create temp files and don't clean up. The concept is good when you work with simple stuff, but it fails when you need to do hacking. In my opinion, the best choice would be separate apps for music/images (because these are special) and a desktop search app like Spotlight or Google Desktop for everything else. And certainly a traditional filemanager. For example, I still use mc even in KDE (although I like Konqueror more) simply because it works better at hacking stuff. But it fails in simple tasks like sorting documents in folders.
Yes, it's Linux (but named blah blah 2005 blah blah in order to look simular to Windows Mobile 2005). And as for the source, I think they agreed that they won't sue Linus for infringing Nokia's patents if he permits them to close the source (only joking, please don't consider this troll).

Gnome has a thing just like kioslaves - it's named gnomevfs.
smb://server/share works nearly from any app...
You'll still need the string - to hang either yourself or some Microsoft guy.

They give you a team which depends on the tool.

...because my D-Link router doesn't support it, its firmware source is closed (no hacks) and D-link will probably force me to upgrade.

No, wait!
Some bald fat man from Microsoft said that DRM is the future.
And what's the use of an opensourced DRM rootkit?
