Which of the major distros don't carry KDE 3.5 any more??

Kubuntu 8.10 and higher and Fedora 10.

Looking at http://www.kde.org/download/#v3.5 there appear to be binary packages for Fedora, Kubuntu, Mandriva, openSUSE

Well those are great if you are running Kubuntu 8.04 or Fedora 9, but many people want to run the latest version of those distros and as such there are no binaries for them there or in the repositories. So this suggestion is pretty much worthless.

Nvidia is the market leader when it comes to graphics, physics and GPGPU hardware. Intel might not need them in the niche market of netbooks, but they do need them and their patents when it comes to the actual desktop and laptop computers out there.

Intel would just go back to work and develop things that wouldn't violate NVIDIA's patent and then NVIDIA would be left in the cold cause the biggest licensor of their technology dropped their asses.

Similarly, Intel needs AMD if they expect to be able to continue using x64 technology. Otherwise they are going to need a lot of luck trying to push Itanium as a replacement desktop product.

Actually AMD is more reliant on Intel in this case. Without a license to x86 from Intel, AMD couldn't have developed x64 and if lost they would then subsequently lose their right to license out the technology.

Intel just seems to be making enemies out of everyone these days. First AMD and now Nvidia. If they aren't careful, they could very well end up isolating themselves.

Intel doesn't need either AMD or NVIDIA. You look at most notebooks today and they will have all integrated Intel stuff without anything from either of those either companies. So I doubt they are going to be hurting much. In fact, NVIDIA needs Intel far more than the other way around. AMD isn't going to use NVIDIA chipsets or graphics cards and if Intel drops them, then NVIDIA is pretty much lost from the loop.

as someone else said in this thread, the levels and art assets have always been non-free.

I know, I was just saying that your solution isn't going to give them anything to play not that I think they should be giving away their assets for free. I wasn't going along with the GP's whining over having to pay the game as that is just silly.
