I commute to work, and I prefer to eat my breakfast while reading my morning emails. So, I bring a nice organic yogurt, mix in raisins and granola, and I'm set until my 10 AM piece of fruit (usually a banana). The reason I buy the organic yogurt is because I try to avoid gelatin (I'm a dairy eating vegetarian) and all major yogurt brands in the US use gelatin. Really, properly made yogurt shouldn't need gelatin.
I highly recommend this software. I use it every day and it is the least flaky of all of the virtual desktop programs I have used. It's loads more configurable than the downloadable MS tool, for instance you can set it up to switch desktops with a key combination.
Ahh, but Elvis never "stole" black music, he just covered it in a way more palatable to whites. All of the writers of those songs he covered got paid, therefore Elvis was not a thief.
The article you linked is false in two ways. First of all, Big Mama Thornton was not the author of Hound Dog, she was merely the first singer of that song. It was in fact written by Lieber and Stoller, two white guys from NYC. Second, Rock and Roll is not a genre entirely created by blacks. Rock and Roll is more properly thought of as a merger of two genres: Rockabilly (white) and Blues (black). So in fact, injecting percieved racsism into early Rock and Roll is cheating it of its truly integrated history.
It's sad that many black performers weren't as popular as Elvis. But to say that Elvis was a thief is unfair.
That is correct, Xilinx does not have a Linux port of their software at this time. Here's hoping though. ModelSim SE runs under Linux, as does Synplify. The Xilinx tools definitely run fine under WINE, but I think most engineers would be more comfortable with native Linux binaries. A tutorial on how to do this is here: http://www.polybus.com/xilinx_on_linux.html
I wonder if any of the tool vendors are pursuing Mac OS X versions of their software? My guess would be no, but it would be nice to have more choice in the matter of host OS for these tools. T
Office is a Carbon application, which means that it doesn't use the Cocoa APIs that GNUstep is trying to replicate. So it will never run Office or Photoshop or anything like that, but it may someday run Omniweb.

On the subject of keyboards, does anyone know of a switchbox that switches between two sets of keyboard and mouse, and not the monitor? My monitor already has a switch for two inputs, so all I really need is a switchbox for the kbs and mice (and I don't want the pay for the extra expense for the boxes with monitor switchers as well....).

Plus one huge mug of coffee!
