Re:Software Engineering as unskilled labor
By the time QuickBASIC (and QBASIC, the cut-down version that MS gave away for free, which lacked the compiler) came alone, BASIC had support for subroutines, call and return (by subroutine name), and scoped variables
Huh? BASIC had functions and subroutines from the beginning.

Re:RHEL/CENTOS minimal
CentOS minimal is 342Mb, which isn't as small as the Ubuntu, but I guess it comes with more "what you'd install anyway" packages.
There's the netinstall too, which is 230Mb. Nowadays if it can fit on a CD, its considered insignificant in size.

Re:Aqua
One of the March builds of 3.0.0 included a PPC version - OOo_3.0.0_080314_MacOSXPowerPC_install.dmg - I can't find it on OO's site any more, but it still seems to be available at http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.openoffice.org/extended/ooomisc/MacOSX/
and on some torrent trackers.
I've installed it alongside 2.4 - it's a lot slower than 2.4 (so much so that it's close to unusable on my 1.5 Ghz G4), but it has the lifesaving feature of being able to open .docx files, so it's worth the dual install from my point of view - I open them in 3.0 then save as odt or regular doc before working on them in 2.4. A glorified converter, but hey, it works. -
Thank you, bitsavers!
You can get one of the (original?) manuals from a Bitsaver mirror site:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dartmouth/BASIC_Oct64.pdf
And, their original 'hello world' program does linear algebra (page "9") -
quicker diagnosisI managed to troubleshoot all other possible causes of this issue, and it was my conclusion (speaking as a competent IT administrator) that this could only be occurring due to direct action at the ISP (Comcast) level.' It seems like to me that a 'competent IT administrator' would have been able to come to this conclusion much quicker by simply running tcpdump (or windump if in Windows), as opposed to reaching this conclusion as the result of troubleshooting "all other possible causes of this issue".

Working mirrors
I had the page up to the mirrors, then even the routing pages died (so I had to extract that actual mirror link from the full URL...); anyway, here's one mirror that's zipping along for me. And I will post this reply as soon as my download finishes...
win32 zip at mirror.reachable.ca
You can figure out the base directory from that if you want it for another platform.
And a few more that I haven't tested, in various countries (trying to pick the ones that look the toughest):
gulus.USherbrooke.ca
mirrorservice.org
eclipse.objectweb.org
software-mirror.com
sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
Final note: some of these are definitely hosed; the first seems to work. Gotta hand it to the Canadians -- they're the ones staying up. -

Unfortunately as of 2005-06-29 02:26:39 BST none are updated yet, hopefully all the rsync mirroring cronjobs'll complete soon! -
Ubuntu rocks
New stuff include
- Gnome 2.10.1, which makes the desktop a lot faster than before
- X.org
- Simplified update- and package management
- Much faster boot process
- Better laptop support (ie suspending, hibernating, processor frequency scaling)
- Kickstart support for automated largescale installations
- Live CD and Install CD both use the new debian installer infrastructure
- UTF-8 by default
- A program for collecting information about what hardware works and what doesn't
- Kubuntu - complete KDE 3.4 based version of Ubuntu
Stuff people are going to bitch about
- No graphical installer. The current installer is extremely simple and has been streamlined even further in this release. A graphical installer is planned for the next version (Breezy Badger).
- No menu editor installed. One can always edit the files by hand, or install kmenu or something similar for gnome. The official gnome menu editor just didn't finish in time.
- No DivX or MP3 support. These are simple to add though and anyone coming from debian will probably already know of the Marillat repositories. Just look at the instructions in the wiki or use Hoary After-Install helper or another script to do the dirty work for you.
OSDir has published a lot of screenshots of Ubuntu.
Oh and if you are interested to know if your laptop or other piece of hardware is supported, some info can be found in the wiki on the Hardware support-page

Re:Updated Packages
it already has gnome 2.8, but still ships with xfree86 as shown in the package list
