I've always hated the "Icons-On-A-Desktop"-design priciple. Back then when I still used Windows(TM) (That's almost 10 years ago...); I went to great lengths to remove every icon from my desktop - even the trashcan. Now as a Linux user, I use desktop environments / window managers which either does not support icons on desktop at all, or allow to turn them off.

I've ALWAYS wanted to paint my car pink and put 'Hello Kitty' stickers on it!!! Now I have a perfect excuse for doing it :)

(Then again, I've wanted to give a similar treatment to my shotgun... Should I be worried???)

What amazes me most is that someone actually buys something protected by hardware dongles...??? I wouldn't. Ever.

A few years back I was very surprised to find that there wasn't any 'Tape Calculator Emulators' for Linux. I seem to have missed this; thanks for bringing this to attention! (Although it seems to be more-or-less abandoned project... I wonder whether it compiles on modern Gentoo?).

The tape calculator I have used for some time is SuperbCalc: http://www.mariottini.net/roberto/superbcalc/. It is java-based, so it will run on all OS'es.

Missing option: The 'inline ads' practiced by Intellitxt, Kontera etc. are the most annoying form of advertisement since the original pop-up craze!

"If it moves, I shoot it!"; that's my motto (concerning ads :) )

I second that. Originally, I tried to be courteous and filter out only the most annoying ads (popups, inline ads (intellitxt, kontera etc.), flash-based), but I grew tired of tinkering with adblock and currently filter out ALL ads. Instead of blaming the users, the 'well-behaving' ad companies should put the blame on other, aggressive ad companies, who alienate the users from the whole idea of online advertisement.

During the 10+ years I've been using PC's with various OS'es, I have never used CapsLock intentionally. Whenever I hit it, it is always by mistake...
