This is just a myth. Java is not used much internally in OOo. It is however used for several purposes: 1) the build environment to produce files needed for the final product ( the help files I think, and maybe more) 2) in 1.1 for the report generator 3) in 1.1 for some of the "export as" features 4) in 1.1 possibly in one other minor area which escapes me now
It is true that in 2.0 Java will be used a bit more: 1) for mail merging 2) for some wizards 3) for media playback and maybe other "additional" areas.
Of course it is possible to write add-ons in Java, but this is also true of StarBasic and Python.
None of the above constitutes "makes heavy use of Java internally".
I use this quite a lot and it can be used with webdav too. We are actually using this for an OpenOffice.org related site at http://207.44.217.188:8080/oocommunity.
This issue is not at all as narrow as Patents vers Linux! What about Mozilla, OpenOffice.org, MySQL, Compiere, Python, KDE, and any multiplatform project on SourceForge or Freshmeat !
Then consider how many small companies out there (who actually employ more people than the larger companies) will either be able to afford to file for patents or will be affected by the larger companies patent portfolio.
As far as I understand at the moment in the US, if you search a patent database to see if your implementation uses a patent, the award made against you afterwards can be doubled or tripled whether you found the relevant patent or not!
> there are talks about integrating it in Openoffice.org
It is already available in OpenOffice.org - when installing OpenOffice.org slect "Custom Install" and select PyUNO.

Many million Irish emigrated to the US between 1845 and 1950. One of the more popular areas for them to work was law enforcement. Therefore paddywagon actually refers to the fact that it carried so many Irish cops not that it carried so many Irish prisoners.
Yes, of course you can. What makes you think that OpenOffice.org does not have a macro language with a complex object model available behind it ? Not sure, well check out the complete (if somewhat involved) developers guide at OpenOffice.org API project.
There are not hundreds of emails to the OOo dev mailing lists. Try emailing the dev@gsl.openoffice.org mailing list - I'm not 100% sure that it is the correct mailing list, but it is very close.
I think that just because you do not hear about the protests outside the US does not mean they do not happen ( and in large numbers ), from eco-warriors trying to stop motorways in the UK, to greenpeace and others trying to stop transport of nuclear material in Germany, France and the UK, to protests in India about the central government (with aid from the WorldBank and others) trying to build huge dams. This kind of news does not generally make it into the "foreign" pages of newspapers or the corporate media as these are in general against the ideoligy of the owners of the media ( especially in the US ) and deemed less interested than scandal about the lastest starlet or teen idol.
Now the file formats should be less of a problem due to teh improved MSOffice compatibility and I think the more important feature of being able to save your file as PDF.
The sad thing is that the EU parliment is not a democracy! They are appointed by memember states. BEEP! Wrong. MEPs ( Members of the European Pariliment) are elected. I think that the election is every 4 or 5 years.
These memember states are elected and influenced by lobbiest. The senators in EU parliment know they can not be unelected so they do not give a shit. BEEP! Wrong again. What you are thinking of is the European Commission - similar to the US Administration who are also unelected.
There are several check's and balances in the EU including EU Parliment, EU Commission, EU Court of Justice, National Parliments, EU Court of Auditors, EU Court of Human Rights, and EU Council of Ministers.
I think the EU could be vulnerable to corruption without checks or ballences. You are quite naive if you think that any political process is immune to corruption.
Hitler came to power because Germany had a lose set before ww2. He only won 26% of the vote and was appointed by conservative leaders to overthrow the left. Oh gawd! I won't even try to correct this many mistakes/miscomprehensions/rose-spectactled view of the world.
openoffice does not have to be installed per user. If you use./setup -net a "network" install will then occur. "Network" there should really read "multi-user". Then each user will only have some of the personal configuration files installed in their home directories.
nearlyfreespeech.net do have ssh access. You just have to ask for it. I think it's an incredible service, and not just for the price but the support has been very good too, plus they can let you have your own mysql database !
You may also be interested in knowing that now in KDE CVS there is an experimental simplified malloc implementation which supposedly can give a perfomance improvement of upto 30%!!
What makes you think that only terroists would be interested ?
Is it not possible that rogue nations, spy agencies, or e-war ministries would see that accessing and taking control of one of these to either cause an "accident" by hitting other satellites or by being aimed at a relatively populated area would cause enough damage to scare people/governments as the current situation with jumbos ?
Do any/many science satellites use nuclear material ? If they do then it may not even matter whether any material makes it intact into the environment, it may actually be an "advantage" to have it burn up and get blown around in the wind over a continent rather than trying to aim for a specific city.
Last night on ITV ( UTV where I watch it ), appeared a program on Tolkien and those things which affected him. Some interesting things for those of that ilk :
his mother converted to become a catholic in adolesence/early adulthood;
she died when he was in his early teens;
as an orphan he was brought up by a poor but devote catholic monk in a poor english city ( Birmingham ? );
he was a very big fan of the pre-Norman folklore ( this includes Beowolf, Icelandic and Finish tales );
it was CS Lewis and Tolkien's publisher who convinced him to write a followup to "The Hobbit";
Sorry I do not know what the name of the program was.
Here is a stort in Irelands Sunday Buisness post which purports to be a reflection of an official EU report on "connected" governments in the EU / EFTA area.

Will gcc 3.0 be able to pre-compiled headers ?
If I remember correctly Corel contracted Cynus to add this functionality to egcs and if my ex-cygnus contact is to be believed it was finished and works. ( Note: they used mmap to simply dump the compiled headers : neat )

This is a known problem and a powerful re-implementation is well under test :

"Help" -> "Help Agent" (turn it off ).
Yes, of course you can. What makes you think that OpenOffice.org does not have a macro language with a complex object model available behind it ?

You do know that OpenOffice.org can communicate with MSAccess databases ? CPH

3. Report errors in issuezilla with example documents so that it is possible for the developers to find the bug and repair it for future versions.
1st : Ximian have patches for fontconfig support - but I think that they were received to late to go into 1.1.
2nd: you can change this ( but it's in the XML files - look for warning ).
3rd: "Help" -> "Help Agent" to turn off the light bulb.

No, it will not be used *by default* in KDE3.0 as far as I can see from the mail archives.
But you are always free to get the sources and compile it yourself with the experimental malloc enabled.
