Its not a matter of my own opinion - its a matter of our clients. I work for Red Hat in Australia and I can attest most of our clients don't like spatial mode. I'd like to have it either explained better (welcome to Gnome 2.6! We've included a new spatial mode! Its better for X reason! If you don't like it though, do Y!) or changed by default.
Usefull things first:
Well, there are two ways to get rid of spatial mode :

I tend to agree with you about the lack of communication between the gnome developers and their user base. Maybe the gnome developers should do some more "public relations" after new releases. or maybe the user base you just read the documentation carefully.
Are you saying that OutOfMemoryError, an Error which is fairly common and can be caused by simply attempting to allocate a huge array, can seriously hinder your ability to execute any code at all? I hope that isn't the case, and that was my primary point. I'm fully aware of what errors are normally used to signify.
While OutOfMemoryErrors are surely more common while allocating large amounts of memory, they can also occur during the allocation of small objects in which case your options to handle them may be seriously reduced.
Errors indicate a serious virtual machine malfunction.
That means that the same malfunction or a resulting one may serioulsy hinder your ability to execute any code at all which makes it somehow difficult to implement a decent handling.
That's funny, the last clean xp install I did required three reboots to completely update everything. Also, if you're using Fedora, Do you count restarting the gui session as a reboot? It takes just as long for me as rebooting windows.
Installing fedora, even including all the changes the article suggests, requires 1 boot. No further reboot needed. No restart of X needed.
Please start using new arguments.
Just because you don't like them?
The three reboots you need require that you know which applications/service packs can be installed in one boot because they don't depend on each other.
Sounds like a dns server problem, IPv6 shouldn't make lookups slower. You should probably also stop using nslookup.
I don't think it's my provider's DNS server (I tried different DNS servers ).
I suspect my cheap DSL router to be the cause.
( I only used nslookup for testing purposes. )
I have time and time again seen people refer to how the US 'saved' the 'cowardly frogs' in both world wars and attempting to contrast recent opposition in Europe to the Iraq war with the American intervention in the Second World War. This is so staggeringly disrespectful to the many, many French who died in those wars that it doesn't even deserve to be debated
.. and it is very ahistorical and somehow ungratefull, too.
I first heard about this from one of the developers of the hit game SimCity, who told me that there was a critical bug in his application: it used memory right after freeing it, a major no-no that happened to work OK on DOS but would not work under Windows where memory that is freed is likely to be snatched up by another running application right away. The testers on the Windows team were going through various popular applications, testing them to make sure they worked OK, but SimCity kept crashing. They reported this to the Windows developers, who disassembled SimCity, stepped through it in a debugger, found the bug, and added special code that checked if SimCity was running, and if it did, ran the memory allocator in a special mode in which you could still use memory after freeing it
guess you could find a lot of similar examples in the windows source...
I use both. The eclipse development environment got this feature WELL after the dot net betas had it. However, I think they both cloned it from NetBeans..
Netbeans does not even have the task list feature for that long (the tasklist module reached it's beta phase in march 2003)
Visual J++ got that tasks from TODO feature long before Netbeans.

Same result here. The GPG signature seems to be valid, too.
There's only one problem: The MD5SUM file does not contain an MD5 checksum for the boot.iso contained in the torrent.
Am I too paranoid?
Can anyone give any hint towards the authenticity of the boot.iso?
the difference being that most of the accounts of huge performances increases found by switching to.NET are real.
The performance problems associated with Java are well documented.
I understand Java developers have a lot of time invested in the platform, but it's time to let Java go gently into that good night.
real? to whom?
Who documented an 800% performance increase by switching from Java to.NET?
What components/technologies did the Java application and the.NET application consist of?
It would be nice to see ODE integrated into Blender instead of SOLID. ODE is a complete dynamics simulator, not just a collision detector.
ODE is mainly a rigid body physics engine. ODE offers built-in collision detection based on the geometric primitives (Ground, Cube, Sphere, Cylinder etc.) out of which the rigid bodies consist. Triangle collision is only avaible via plugin mechanisms. Currently there is an OPCODE plugin. It may be possible to write a plugin which drives SOLID.
Maybe SOLID should be replaced by a ODE/OPCODE combination - but that would be incompatible with the existing blender games.
not that bad..

Alright, they had their charm but I wouldn't go so far as "awesome". "Bar brawls" featuring legions of high level fighters and mages? The way SSI tried to turn it into one of their strategy games?
They just didn't have the heart of Ultima or Bard's Tale. Or the storylines. But the better RPGs were themselves tributes to D&D, they just made the transition from pen and paper much more skillfully.
The bar brawls were really the low end but there were some good moments (curse of the azure bonds, parts of the dragonlance series) which were a really good mixture between turn-based battle rpg and story.
See, I *never* got this. When used properly, exactly how does operator overloading complicate reading the code? Sure, it can be abused, but I can make a function called add() that does nothing of the sort. I think
someComplexNo = anotherComplexNo + stillAnother;
is much more readable than
someComplexNo = complex.add(anotherComplexNo, stillAnother);
An call to a method can't be confused with a syntactically identical language construct overloaded somewhere else.
The cases in which it is nice to have this syntactic sugar are far less common than the cases where it is misused.
What I have a problem with is when you try to install a Vanilla kernel on a RedHat system, it still goes berserk. Commercial GNU/Linux vendors have found new and unusual ways to make their software proprietary. It's just a different kind of vendor lock-in, because if you've got RedHat you're stuck with RedHat Inc. for patches and updates.
I wouldn't call it vendor lock-in when someone who can read C can easily avoid it.
I had no problems patching a recent Debian Kernel with the Redhat TUX kernel patch, e.g.

Most projects simply let patch-submitters sign over their copyright to the original developer / project leader.
The promises of propaganda may be unreal but it's real that propaganda is used in every country of the world to influence views/people.
And I tend to agree with the grandparent that the american public is still suprisingly unaware of the amount of propaganda it is subjected to.

Installing XP itself might be no hassle. But installing Service Packs, installing additional software and rebooting a gazillion times for that is.
the solution to this problem was that FC2 enables IPv6 by default which led to the noticable delay. After adding:
toIf the French hadn't supported the American Independence in 1776 there's a great chance that America would still be part of the United Kingdom. ( An Outline of American History - Chapter 3: The Road to Independence )
You're aware that you're basically arguing for totalitarianism?
Since debian does not do this, the debian kernel could just be configured to not use 4K stacks.
