Any application, not just GNOME applications, can use filesystems mounted with GNOME's 'connect to server' feature, for instance. I think it's more desirable to write a FUSE module than a KDE-specific KIOSlave.
You say that, but if you look at the apps on the ground, most, well, don't. For instance, I can mount my network drive using GVFS all I want, but I still can't watch anything on it, since VLC has no clue about it. A nice idea, but it would be preferable if they integrated it into the rest of Linux too. That said, I use Gnome every day.
Two equal camps, check.
Group all "current" scientists together, check.
Appeal to "reasonable folks" who want to find a "middle ground", check.
Can you push any more buttons from the anti-science and anti-evolution camp? This is simple physics - non-ionizing radiation does not cause damage to DNA, period. There is real research on this. What more do you want?
The next time I hear someone appeal to the average man for authority in politics I'm going to go crazy. If I wanted the idiot down the street making decisions for me I would have asked him myself. I want people who have actually spent some time researching this to give me information, thanks.
