I hope that what they really mean about a "standardized" UI, is maybe that they provide a means of a standard in drag & drop, clipboard, and copy & paste. I think this is one of the main draw backs with linux and it's apps, there's how many different ways to do this? I just hope that maybe KDE and Gnome will stick together and atleast standardize this between the 2 projects. Also, i'm hoping Sun doesn't try to combine all the different apps of StarOffice into one window again. A separate app for each (word processor, spreadsheet, etc), That would be a big advancement for StarOffice. The one thing I hated about StarOffice is that everything was packed into this nasty looking interface that was totally unorganized.
yea, i kinda messed up the whole post thing, i did it rather quickly. If i'd have had more time i would've mentioned it was on the Screen Savers (www.thescreensavers.com). Yea, i understand that the linux kernel is open source, and that they should've had it open anyway, but i kinda worded it wrong and left out some info. Sorry about that.. i seen the show, and then had to leave rather quickly so the post took about 30 seconds to write, forgive the little errors in it;)
Yea, i loved that program. I did it my junior year of high school (it was last year, i'm a senior this year). I really enjoyed it. We did it in C++, and it had to be recursive, which was even more fun. For kicks i added in a few options like to compare it with case sensitivity, and to strip out odd characters and leave only the letters a-z A-Z (great way to learn casting(static_cast, reinterpret_cast)). I highly recommend this project no matter which language you use though, it's a lot of fun.
