That "Christian fairy-tale" you are whining about is responsible for more joy, laughter, wonder, and good will in this world than anything else you can name.
You don't have to believe in God or Jesus Christ to appreciate the magic of Santa Claus, and what it means to millions of people with purer hearts than you or I possess. So lighten up.
And Merry Christmas.
The last thing I'd hear in this hypocritical country is some protestant pastor telling his or her congregation to treat everyone equally, regardless of religion, skin color, sexuality. Watch Fox News, they make sure every conservative jesus lover's hatred is refreshed before the beginning of this CHRISTIAN holiday. Santa Claus is Saint Nicholas of Myra. No buts. I guess you can thank Clement Clarke Moore and Thomas Hast for "de-religionizing" the look of the character, but there is no way you can take this holiday and shove it into the faces of everyone, as you would just be another Christian trying to mix in your traditions with other peoples' cultures. Happy Holidays.
Which reminds me of two famous quotes.
"God is dead" - Nietzsche
"Nietzsche is dead" - God
When it takes a man to make up a quote from God, then God is definitely dead.
But can you run Pico in it?
No one cares about pico. You might as well compare a log of feces to a work of art. Features outweigh simplicity. vi rules.
Sounds like fusion all over again.
More pie in the sky.
I expect there to be more failures and more faulty engineering uncovered. This project would have been better off had it been built by high school students.
The Ultimate ManToy can't function due to impotence.
You guys know there is a cure for that............
Right?
Those pigs should have to be subjected to their own torture device.
I hope they burn in hell for what they are doing to the protesters.

Bah, don't worry; Adium will quickly integrate support I'm sure. I don't know about you but I'd prefer Adium over the Pidgin design for ANY operating system any day. Unfortunately they use Mac only frameworks. Porting (and most likely using an easy OS independent toolkit like Qt) would be a great project for inactive coders. Dunno about you, but I find Skype's interface 20 times more attractive than Pidgin's. Skype uses Qt 4.
Not a big deal; right now I'm using 32-bit Windows XP Home edition as my primary OS and 32-bit CentOS 5 is in a virtual machine for Linux open-source software development
You're hardly a software developer - you aren't willing to find solutions yourself - you expect some distro with a dickhead of an admin to make it so it magically works. Seriously, these issues you list don't exist and don't depend on the distro at all. You're a developer - compile your own kernel.
but I'm wondering if anyone has backported the newer Alps touchpad driver to work with CentOS's version of X
The source code is free. CentOS doesn't use an ancient version, so compile it. git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/. That's what synaptics and alps use. Backported? wtf? CentOS uses X.org code so I'm a little lost on what the hell you mean.
Anyways, my point of this response is that your issues are bullshit if you are going to wear a developer's mask.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
