Kernel 2.6.28 will solve majority of issues so, when adopted, all distributions will get (nearly) full support out of the box. Right now with 2.6.28rc7 sound works correctly when resuming from S3 (mic, headphones and speakers), ath5 wireless kernel module only lacks led activity support versus the madwifi one, and IIRC, they fixed the erratic behaviour of the two SD cards readers. Webcam is supported fine from 2.6.26 if I'm not wrong.
Only the fan control is currently dodgy. According to Matthew Garrett, acerfand could be prone to race conditions and in the worst case scenario the HW could be damaged (overheating)...
When you break the law, you forfeit certain legal protections and certain freedoms.
Well, Italy prime minister broke the law for more than ten years (a single entity can control no more than 2 of 12/13 national TVs) or changed the law to avoid prosecution in a corruption case, so in Italy it depends on who you are.
I've read some time ago that bug report (a month or more), if I'm not wrong someone provided a plugin to recreate the resizable input box, but there was a compiling step involved so the installation wasn't straightforward.
It's related on how the GCC assumes the kernel sets the state of a flag before calling a function (signal handler), and this happens for compiled applications in userland with newer GCC (4.3.0).
I don't recall the gory details, on Sid with the latest (of today) version of libc6, SBCL exposes the bug (crashes). There aren't big differences between libc 2.7-8 and 2.7-9, but the second was compiled with the newer GCC. Kudos to Aurelien Jarno, a Debian developer, who isolated the bug and pushed a patch upstream. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/207
That said, you're post isn't too smart. English is my native language and I happen to understand it better than most. In my native language there's a say that you can translate to "pissing outside the bowl"... ^__^
If there was a distro that was identical to XP, and booted straight to the desktop with root privileges, incorporating wine automatically Lindows/Linspire? Never used syself so i could be wrong, but i think there was a huge backlash about root usage in the past...
Then clearly you do not understand how the fixed costs are paid back then. magic?
"The marginal cost of the government providing street lighting to me is zero. therefore I shall refuse to pay my taxes for those lights."
You business model only works as long as there are people paying full price to leech off.
Then you don't understand what marginal costs are, as adding a lamp post and turning it on for 10 hours at night costs way more than zero. I don't think you can find a working analogy in the physical world.
I didn't proposed a business model, anyway the RIAA equivalent here is collecting a levy for every recordable media sold (.25 euro for CD and.54 euro for DVD sold) and i wouldn't be surprised if my DSL is taxed too. If you ask me they should adapt to live with lower margins or die, i'll never pay a buck (or pound or euro, and this alone would deserve a thread) for a single music track...
Yeah, and in this distorted reality, i want to pay a fair price for a good that has a marginal cost that is basically zero, so i would say, something not too far from zero is a fair price.
And about distribution rights, in private trackers majority strive to keep above unit ratio, someone reach two or three times their ratio, but are a minority, so the vast majority upload at most one copy of the files. On public trackers the sharing ratio is probably even lower than then unit...

Last time I've checked it was still based on C and using Javascript for extension purposes.

Apple laptops are build by Quanta. Guess what, Quanta builds laptop for HP, Acer, Dell, Lenovo (and OLPC ^__^)...

I've read somewhere that cadmium is a byproduct of zinc refining/smelting, tellurium instead seems pretty rare (according to Wikipedia)...
I remember the result of a similar study done years ago on an Italian research agency ( http://www.frascati.enea.it/nhe/index-eng.htm ), one of the published report is available at: http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/DeNinnoAexperiment.pdf

Nope.

Near your right pinkie? ^__^
Fixed costs is the norm, zero marginal costs is the exception.
I don't want to change your opinion on the matter, but with current model you aren't paying for the music but the record labels cartel.

I would add noise too, a 2.5" HD is pretty quiet, but no noiseless.
People at Fluendo could probably answer that.
If you can cough near $10000 per box, IBM will happily sell you one (IIRC there is only a dual Cell configuration).
To me seems to be related to the "sticky" property of a window.
