The multiverse outside our universe is infinite because time is infinite, therefore it doesn't have a size.

If the subject at hand is math, or programming, or laying bricks, for example, practicing what I just heard from the class do tend to re-enforce what I recall

But what if the subject in hand is quantum mechanics, or nuclear physics, or subjects that are more conceptual than practical?

We pay for Internet service, and the RIAA/MPAA do not claim ownership over your bandwidth. We do not punish people for drinking their tap water, even though bottled water companies exist specifically to sell drinking water. Every fluid ounce of tap water that you drink is a fluid ounce you did not pay a bottled water company to drink.

The only difference is that right now, nobody has a concept of "drinkingrights" but we do have a concept of "copyrights."

I disagree completely. KDE's configurability is asinine. When KDE apps run under another WM, they use their own KDE defaults like click-to-activate vs. click-to-select, double-click-to-activate. It's annoying as hell to run K3B under Gnome 2, because it does not behave like anything else on my desktop. The only reason I put up with it is that they did the best job of a burning utility I've seen since Nero, and maybe even better than Nero (note I'm talking the old "advanced" Nero tools, not the shiny crapware wrappers they install be default with the new releases.)

With the way KDE is structured on top of Qt, it should be possible for a KDE app running under Gnome to detect that fact and "import" it's settings and defaults from Gnome's environment. The reverse should also be true.

It's almost to the point of frustration that I prefer applications that just ignore any standards at all and do their own thing entirely. At least they're consistently screwed up, following their programmer's diabolical visions of UI hell imposed on the user community. :p

Please explain how to install GNOME 3 on Fedora 16 or the latest Ubuntu.
