Star Office already has truetype font support. You just need to have xfstt (I think that's the name) running, and then you map Staroffice fonts to truetype fonts. Then when you write a document you get truetype fonts!
ADS-B isn't intended to replace controllers or radar. It is primarly used where there is no radar coverage, to supplement radar. As an example, trials were carried out over part of the North Sea oilfields.
You don't need a powerful computer to handle huge numbers of flights. I worked on the software for the North-America to Europe corridor, which is the busiest area in the world. The computers aren't as powerful as you think; they don't need to be.
Producing tight code does take time, but even after 15 years, Microsoft still haven't got it right yet.
It isn't the coding that is primarily the problem, (unless its C++ - flame!), it's the feature creep, and the expectations senior management put on what the software should do.
The same applies for Linux; look at all the various layered libraries you get now with a Linux distribution.
But I'm babbling now.......
Do me a favour - there's less plastic and more life in a barbie doll.
She supports animal rights (or something like that), yet she sprays her dog pink? She's missing something between the ears.

Well we all know that Katz has to make a reference to all those social outcast geeks around the world in every article he writes. Again he tries to give meaning, reason and rhyme to the geek culture. Its just a bloody film!!! When I watch a film, I don't want to rip it to shreds and analyse it to the core from every social angle. I want to be entertained. Why does he have to disect everything in the way he does?
"....QNX is to be smaller and faster and not nearly as powerful" I somehow doubt this. Linux is more flexible for sure. Personally I don't trust Linux yet as a mission critical operating system.
On Windows,it crashes everytime I use it, within at least 5-10 minutes.
Also the back button doesn't always work. For example, if you go to www.theregister.co.uk, and click on a news item, when you press the back button, it doesnt take you back tot he main theregister page, it takes you back to the previous site! Whah?? This happens on other sites as well.
I have to agree - it does sound cocky, which is the wrong attitude to take. It comes across as being rather childish, but that seems rather typical of Slashdot these days. Slashdot is the all powerful, free speech website, and the posters can legally say anything they want. I'm not sure I agree with that.
Slashdot Mirror
Conspiracy abounds! Aren't you being a little over-enthusiastic in this idea?
Comm'on!!!! Japan is so far ahead of the West in terms of gizmos and gadgets, that these could be real.

So I guess Redhat's QA hasn't improved any? This is abysmal for a company that is trying to run with the big boys.
Don't expect quality Journalism - this is Slashdot after all. What else did you expect except knee-jerking sensationalism??
So what is it with this Jeff K guy? Why does he write like that?

you mean .........unbarred access to legal information?
Hear hear!
This is great! Another open source, out of date product that nobody uses!!!!
How is this different from StarOffice? That too is slow, ugly and unstable.
Typical Slashdot - anything relating to Microsoft has to be manically criticised.
Yes I hate Microsoft as well, but at least let them bring something out before we hound them.

I would recommend E-Smith as well. It is perfect for this kind of scenario, although you'd need to check the minimum requirements.

Does this hold true for game reviews as well I wonder?
Surely it can't be any worse than the last one.
The same goes for me - it made my P3-700 with 25Mb look like a P100.
Except from what Ive seen, Swing runs so slow, I find it unusable.
Hmmm strange, methinks it still sucks!

So, I'm sorry, but IE5 it is guys!
Oh for the days of qio and qiow!
