Australia also has a constitution. We just don't treat it like Moses brought it down off the mountain.
Does Newegg.com ship internationally?
Newegg.com does not currently ship internationally; we only deliver to locations within the United States and to Puerto Rico.
Did they return the multiple desktop and individual backgrounds? Locking Apps to specific Desktops?
Yes.
No they haven't and they're still pushing Dolphin as the File manager instead of sticking with Konq, which worked quite well for that and browsing the web. Hell I found it quite useful when accessing an ftp site that I had write privs as it allowed me to simply copy files from the system to the server.
Yes they have. Konqeror is still there, and can be set as the default file manager if you want.
As a 3.5 user, I would have preferred them to simply bug fix and transition 3.5 over to QT4. Some of the restructuring was needed but the complete change to the UI was totally unneeded. Instead they had to copy MS and Vista and loose the one feature that made KDE stand out for me, which was the configurable desktops, background images and locking apps to specific desktops.
As I said, all these features are available, accessible, and are arguably better than they were in KDE 3. I honestly don't know how you haven't been able to discover them.

You outed yourself as an uncivilised US-ian there.
I doubt the US government has much motivation to attempt helping Somalia again... I think you'll learn why so many governments appear to be ignoring Somalia.
On the contrary, the US is very interested in Somalia for the very same reasons the pirates are - it's lack of government and infrastructure means whoever has the most money/guns in their own patch is the law. This makes it an ideal location for the CIA to set up secret prisons, as well as pirates to set up their base of operations.
A democracy needs to be controlled by the citizens though, and not the citizens controlled by the government's propaganda.
The US government is controlled by the citizens. Or were you referring to the proles?
The proles constitute 85% of the population. They receive little education, work at jobs in which tough physical labour is the norm, live in poverty, and usually die by the age of sixty.
...proles are not expected to understand that they are being exploited by the Party as a source of cheap labour and are unable or unwilling to organize resistance. Their functions are simple: work and breed. They care little about anything but home and family, neighbour quarrels, films and football, beer and lottery tickets. They are not required to express support for the Party, except for a mild form of patriotism. The Party creates meaningless songs, novels, even pornography for the proles. Proles do not wear a uniform, can use cosmetics and have a relatively free internal market economy. Proles also have free sex lives, uninterrupted by the Party, and divorce is permitted. Despite the personal freedoms enjoyed by the Proles, the Thought Police moves among them, spreading false rumours and marking down and eliminating any individuals deemed capable of causing trouble.
After facebook facial recognition technology comes to fruition, your behavior patterns will be analyzed and recorded, and you may be 're-programmed' to fit back in to society nicely. If you fail to comply with the surveillance overlords, you must be prepared for the inevitable consequences.
Hohoho.. do you really think that facial recognition technology hasn't been there from the beginning?
ScienceDaily (Nov. 12, 1997) — Computer "eyes" are now up to such tasks as watching for fugitives in airline terminals and other busy locations. A sophisticated face-recognition system that placed first in recent Army competitive trials has been given the added ability to pick out faces in noisy or chaotic "street" environments.
The new "Mugspot" software module developed at the University of Southern California automatically analyzes video images, looking for passers-by. When it finds them, it picks out the heads in the images and then tracks the heads for as long as they remain in the camera's field.
Almost 15 years ago, it was already possible to accurately track and recognise people in grainy, blurry, low-res video. As if intelligence agencies *aren't* having a field day with facebook.
Because while it's all well and good to say, "You kids stop that fighting!" in the end somebody has to actually go in and separate the parties and be able to threaten real consequences if they go back to fighting.
Yes, that's why police carry weapons. But they're still not allowed to just execute anyone they accuse of a crime. Punishment is for the courts, not the police. Current US foreign policy is to act as world government, police, judge, jury and executioner.
