Umm... tiling window managers have been around longer than non-tiling ones. You can blame apple for making windows overlappable. The 'task-oriented layout' is nothing new or innovative - see wmii, awesome, xmonad, dwm, etc. etc. (even fluxbox, with its 'tabs', actually) for examples of modern X11 window managers that offer similar functionality, plus much more...
Personally, I started using wmii a few months back and haven't looked back since.
Only because the person decided to begin spending beyond their means. Taxes are not at fault here, poor money-management is...
I fail to see how the 'Government is holding them down', when they _know_ (or at least have the means to find out) how much they will be taxed, but still decide to drive themselves further into debt.
Having seen this, I wonder what effect the 'anti-vibration' rubber grommets that are used on most modern desktop PC hard drive bays have on disk latency. After all, they stop vibrations being transmitted into the case my allowing the HDD itself to vibrate more and damping the movement as it reaches the case. Of course, having the HDD vibrate of its own accord is much better than having it resonate with another component in the case, so perhaps in some cases, the damping is beneficial to latency aswell.
In fact, I'm surprised that no-one has come up with a case in which all parts have a natural frequency that does not coincide with the speeds of modern hard disks, such that the case will vibrate with HDDs, but not resonate, which is where most sound problems (the reason for damping in the first place) come from.
From what I can discern from this, it seems that even if 'CD rot' does affect certain CDs, all of these CDS are of the pressed, as opposed to burnt, variety. AFAIK, there have been no reports of Philips CD-Rs failing in a similar way, and the manufacturing (including the data pressing/burning process) methods for both types of disc are different enough to rule it out as a cause for concern, aren't they?
Professors now how to prevent their students from reading certain material: you make it a required reading. I guess you never read anything past a primary-school book on the English language then;)
So, physics should work on Linux, having been ported to CUDA already, and CUDA being cross-platform, but the question is if any Linux games will actually support and/or make use of it.
I use E17 CVS as my sole WM, and I have to say, it's amazingly stable, fast and potentially good-looking. The core WM, panels, modules etc. are easily good-looking, funtional and stable enough for day-to-day use.
Maybe the developers should release a Beta 'core' snapshot, that doesn't include buggy/incomplete things such as the file manager or the Bling module, etc. but just a few panels, themes and useful modules (wlan, volume, Tclock, taskbar etc. etc.) - It would work wonders for Enlightenment's popularity.
If you want a lightweight, minimalist windowmanager, why on earth would you use GNOME? It has, admittedly, come on in leaps and bounds in terms of speed, but there are much more lightweight and 'minimalist' alternatives available, many of which I personally think look a lot nicer too - Fluxbox is great imho, or XFCE if you still want a little more eyecandy...
Pre-2.0 Blender used to fit on 1 floppy. Great, bloat-free sofware, that has increased in features, but suffered in terms of performance and size, after being open-sourced. Remind you of anything?
And +1 on Fluxbox. I wouldn't use any other WM nowadays.
They're all pretty much the same question. Hardly any of the power a CPU draws goes into anything but heat, and more heat needs better cooling, therefore OEM HSFs get louder (or heatpipes become cheap enough proportionate to the cost of the CPU to be a viable option, as with the socket-939 opterons)
I know you're trying to be funny, but the statement is actually gramatically correct. You're expecting it to read 'make less mistakes', but the word lesser also makes sense in the statement, changing it to mean 'make mistakes of lower magnitude' rather than 'make fewer mistakes.'
Seriusly, though, who _wants_ 'something like photoshop'? Photoshop is, in all honesty, the most unintuitive, resource-hungry, ugly, illogical and basically just downright infuriating program I have ever used. GIMP, on the other hand, is logical, powerful, easy-to-use and efficient. Granted, lack of CMYK support is an issue, but I don't do much print work so it's not a problem for me. And complaining about not having HDR in something that was never designed for it is just silly. Why not actually use something designed _for_ HDR, like HDRshop or Hugin, or even CinePaint, instead of Photoshop's convoluted and inaccurate solution?
I know i'll probably get flamed for saying this, but it's Photoshop that's the toy, not GIMP. Yeah, it might be easy to pick up for noobs who don't know a pixel from a pitchfork, but if there's one thing I hate it's programs that jump ahead of the user (eg, the way Photoshop tries to second-guess what it thinks you're trying to do, instead of just letting you do it manually. it's management, or _non_management of layer masks being a perfect example) or do things without giving control over the necessary options. It seems to me that photoshop is just designed to appeal to computer-illeterate designers who just can't be bothered to learn a new medium, and are willing to ignorantly use tools without understanding them.

Couldn't agree more - working with layer masks in photoshop, especially, is needlessly convoluted, and dont't get me started on the copy-and-paste. It always seems that photoshop is trying to stay one step ahead of you, the user, and usually fails miserably in predicting what you are about to do, carrying out an action you never wanted it to. I'm not saying GIMP is perfect, but I first used in 4 years ago, when I was 12 years old, and have found it to have the most intuitive, easy-to-learn and powerful interface of just about everything except Wings 3D

Speaking as a self-confessed 'psuedo-programmer artist type', I can say that those tools definitely are available in the form of Processing.
However, I do wonder about the airflow

No, it wasn't.
Erm... and how exactly could you set up a 180 degree FOV on a flat monitor? You'd need an infinitely-wide screen.
