Firefox will became more and more bloated with features, then one it will reborn from ashes as a new project called Phoenix, that will be a bare-bones light and simple browser, that uses the rendering core of Firefox.
I had a catastrophic brain fart trying to get my mind wrapped around the idea of a billion light years. Douglas Adams prediced that:
Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindboggingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.
it's about source code, not price. No, it's not about code, it's about freedom. How good is to be able to see the code, if you can't modify and redistribute it?
Some Free games are very nice, specially the simple ones (not surprisingly, as they can't compete with the multi-million-dollars production effort of commercial games). The already mentioned Battle of Wesnoth and Freeciv are among my favorites strategy games. For action, Kobo Deluxe and Koules are pretty nice. Recently I found also XMoto, which looks silly, but is very fun to play.
The point is not the ability to install packages by hand. The point is that's that the system doesn't force package dependency on you; and the package system will never get messed up to a point where you can't do any operation, caused by of a fault on the dependency scheme, because there's no dependency scheme at all.

I would suggest you to use checkinstall. It's a wrapper for "make install" that creates a package and installs it, so that the software: 1) Gets cataloged on your system's package manager, and 2) Can be easily removed with the normal system package tools.
I made a nice script that guess all the fields of package information, like name and version (from the dir name, or from date, in case of cvs/svn/git), and pass them to checkinstall for a non-interactive one-shot install. If anyone is interested, just ask and I'll post it here. I works very well on Slackware, and now I'm adapting it to Debian too. (I also switched from Slackware to Ubuntu, but because of hardware support. It's not that easy to configure the kernel and required software these bluetooth/dvd-burner/usb/cellphone/digicam days.)
There is dependency problems on Gentoo too. I have been there, and saw it while trying to install X.org 7.1.
At least in Debian/Redhat you know there's problem in the moment you try to select/install the package. In Gentoo, I had to wait three days compiling stuff until it showed up.
I call it heaven. That was no joke. I went from Debian (tried Redhat too) to Slackware because I couldn't stand for dependency hell anymore.
Of course it has a different public. I would recommend Ubuntu for a newbie, but if you have enough experience, Slack's simplicity, elegance, and control are unbeatable.
If you hate dependency hell, you should try Slackware: no package dependency at all! If you install a program and it doesn't run, check the console messages for the missing library (or just ask Google), and install it by hand.

JW: Oh yeah. We really owe Richard a debt of gratitude for all that. So do I.
And in what case you must buy DRM stuff?
Just don't buy it. Period.
I think that e) belongs to the "bad idea" group.
I don't remember ever seeing an "Overrated" mod when I'm meta-moding.
Don't these get meta-moderated?
What about a multi-megapixel image direct from the digicam, displayed as a thumb?

Since Oct/06 MPlayer can decode WMV9.
The only thing GPL tells you can't do it to restrict others from these same freedoms.
Neither do I.
I just copy/pasted the a short description from somewhere to the disambiguation page, not an entire article page.
So why don't you add it to Wikipedia, instead of posting it here?

You like climbing mountains, the other guy may not find it interesting at all.
Torrent is faster for new, popular movies.
Edonkey may be slow, but only there you can find those old, rare, or obscure movies.

That's why Google needs a NEAR operator, like in glark.
The command glark -a 5 "I work" TrisexualPuppy finds "I work" and TrisexualPuppy separated by not more than five lines.

I'm surprised no one mentioned KMFMS yet, and their great article What's So Bad About Microsoft?.
