I remember 15 years ago, I used to play "Revenge of the Frogger" on my i386 at 16 MHz.
It was a great game. You are froggy, a a frog who has to pass the dangerous road with big motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses, etc.
When you passed the road, you must pass the river, by jumping on tree logs or alligators or turtles, and if you get the butterfly, you get bonus points.

Me and my sister loved playing it. It's a real arcade classic that never gets old.

I would like to be able to update more stuff without have to restart the computer.
Preferably, I would like to be able to upgrade the kernel, Xorg, device drivers, etc without have to restart the computer.

Won't implement

Canonical should hire a legion of tens of thousands of Chinese programmers.
It will be very cheap, and Chinese people are very intelligent and hard workers. Always top A grade students, perfect score on all tests.
In China people work 20 hours a day for only like $2 dollar a day.
We can employ them for only 6-9 hours a day with a great salary of $5-10 dollar per day.
It will be a great deal for them, because they can work less and earn more.
It will be great for us, because we can hire tens of thousand Chinese programmers, a whole legion of them and increase the development rate by a factor of a thousand.

Yes, i know about songbird, i know about amarok, i know about gtk-pod, i know many people don't want DRM in Ubuntu. But if you have a perfectly working iTunes in Ubuntu you will draw more users. Put it in the partner repos, just like Parallels. You can always display a warning about DRM and propietary software when you choose to install it.

Hi,
this is something that I realy miss since I've choosen to not use Windows anymore, I don't have any chance to get sound over my headphones and many other users even miss this feature.
It should be possible to only plug a headphone into the LineIn port of a Laptop, get sound over it and disable the *normal* sound boxes.

Share codecs among applications

I opened a video in VLC media player, and it worked just fine and played.
Then I opened the very same video in Totem, and get the error "The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable codecs to play media files. Do you want to search for a codec that supports the selected file?"
Now this is just dumb. Obviously this codec is already installed since VLC could play it.
Am I supposed to install the same codec for every video player software I use?
The codecs should be shared among applications!

All modern operating systems like Windows Vista and Mac OS X comes shipped with widgets.
Mac OS X comes with Dashboard.
Windows Vista comes with Windows Vista Sidebar.
Ubuntu should ship with some widget thing too!
