Good documentation contains formal specifications. Although most "programmers" will not agree, formal specifications provide the best way to document your code. First of all, they tell the user exactly what the software should do or should not. Secondly, writing formal specifications forces you to think about what you're doing, and prevent most bugs and design errors, even before you write the actual code. Another advantage is that once the specification is written, the code and the test classes can be written independently, which should result in better tests because the specification says what a method should do, so you don't have to guess it.
On top of that, it should contain a description of what it (a class, package or whatever) should do, and class diagrams (a picture can say more than....).
For an example, look at the org.jutil.java.collections package of the Jutil.org project. The math package doesn't contain formal specifications yet because not all functionality is present to write them (numerical mathematics...).
If you want to write object-oriented software, read "Object Oriented Software Construction" by Bertrand Meyer, it's a must read.
Then why can't I get the latest driver to compile with a 2.4.18 kernel ? All I get is some unresolved symbol error when trying to load the module. And when I use the latest drivers with my older kernel, I can't use 1600x1200@85Hz on my TNT2 although the 300MHz ramdac can perfectly handle it. It refuses anything above 75Hz on that frequency. Why ? Because the stupid box says so. The next videocard I will buy will most likely not be an NVIDIA card, I don't use 3D stuff anyway.
Just tried it on debian/unstable, and I can only choose 4 fonts when enabling AA in KDE. All 4 of them are fixed size, and look _horrible_. I can't load the "freetype" module because of some version conflict thing. Anybody knows what the problem is ?
Well, actually I've got a degauss canon. It's called Iiyama Visionmaster PRO 510. Once when I switched on my monitor, a friend of mine asked on irc whether I had turned on my screen. He heard the bang, being 30 meters aways in another building.
Not really a weapon, but you can scare the sh*t out of people who've never heard it before:)
You can use the Archive program in KDE by creating a "Link To Application" and have it point to the AppRun script from Archive. I love that program. Just drag & drop a directory on it, and you've got an archive.

And of course commercial software products will stay compatible with Mono's VM. Dream on. We will have a VM, but will only be able to run deprecated commercial software on it.
If you take a 2.2 kernel. I have yet to see a 2.4 kernel that will run for a few days without crashing on my machines. Of course I have to use 2.4.xx.yy.zz with the u.v.w VM. That's what they've been telling ever since 2.4 was released. The moment FreeBSD fixes its install program, I'm gonna switch. I hate running stone-age technology.
I've have enormous trouble installing 4.3 and 4.4 (and I'm not the only one). The base install goes fine as always, but when installing additional packages, the problems start. The first packages are installed at normal speed, but after a few minutes, it takes about 2 minutes/package, no matter how big or small it is. I've tried the cd, ftp install, it doesn't matter. Does anyone know whether or not that problem is fixed ?
The VIA KT266A chipset blows away the regular AMD 760 chipset by 50%-80%. What's the use of using 2 processors on a slow chipset except for spending too much money or being cooler than your friends because you have 2 processors (and no brains). You will never get X2 performance using 2 processors, so you gain nothing (except instability).

Anybody tried to compile kde with icc ? The pre-linking optimization helps a bit, but even the calculator takes about as long to start up as M$ word (and that's not a joke:( ).
You forgot to take into account the altitude of the movie project. The projector will experience a weaker gravitational field and therefore time will go faster for the projector than for the audience.
With a little quantum mechanics and chaos, you end up with a factor of 6.25, which justifies the different frame rates since.4 * 6.25 = 2.5. Easy, isn't it ?
