More like spanking the monkey, really.

I actually prefer the chrome way of handling tabs. It frees up about half an inch of vertical space that would otherwise be wasted.

On a day to day basis I rarely use any of the titlebar buttons. I double-click the titlebar to maximize/restore, click the taskbar or dock to minimize, usually just punch Alt+F4 or Alt+Q to close.

^This. The entire situation is completely and utter absurd, and a slap in the face of everything our country is supposed to represent. He's been in custody for how many months now without any word of a trial?

Also, anonymous coward isn't anonymous. I really wish it would warn us if we're posting while not logged in. Or maybe that's the captcha's job.

An easier route is just to be young, attractive, and female. Instant friends*, guaranteed.

Those people are using Ubuntu, not Debian (usually).

I swear the next time I have to go through that circus, I'm going to complain about how my Freedom Fondle didn't have a Happy Ending.

The technology behind KDE4.x is certainly several steps ahead of Gnome, but in terms of stability, I've yet to use KDE4 for any period of time without dealing with multiple application crashes. Whether this is a KDE problem or the applications themselves, I'm not sure, but it keeps me tied to Gnome for the time being for my day to day needs.

Bioshock and System Shock are two completely different games. They share some marginal similarities at best.

Glad to see someone mention these two gems. System Shock 1/2 and the Thief Series were among the best games released during their time. The day Looking Glass Studios closed their doors was the day that a significant portion of my faith in the PC gaming industry died. It seemed sick and cruel that such an innovative company could wither and die due to lack of profit while Blizzard ranked in cash hand over foot with a mediocre sequel to a mind-numbingly boring game (Diablo II).

I'm not sure this is entirely accurate. That main convergence between RHEL and other distros is that RHEL is NOT designed as an all in one system - desktop, media center, internet, etc. It's designed around, as you said, enterprise use. You have server, adminsistration, and development workstation setups, but it is in no way designed to be a standard desktop replacement the way Ubuntu and similar distros are.
