Actually I can imagine. I'm doing this with HTML files for years. Thanks to openess of HTML format.
Actually they work together with Debian guys. Here's some information from http://www.agnula.org/:
AGNULA's main task will be the development of two reference distributions for the GNU/Linux operating system completely based on Free Software (i.e. under a FSF approved Free Software license) and completely devoted to professional and consumer audio applications and multimedia development. One distribution will be Debian-based (DeMuDi) and the other will be Red Hat-based (ReHMuDi). Both will be available on the network for download and on CD.
Instead of putting GPG into a library you can write a CORBA interface and put Bonobo implementation into separate executable file. No more problems with corrupting GPG internals and it would be accessible from any programming language.

It doesn't make sense. How can we replace whole desktop environment (GNOME / KDE + many apps) with window manager?!

Gnumeric is part of the GNOME and depends on many GNOME libraries. Are you sure you like it?

The author should assign his copyright to the FSF. FSF has lawyers and knows what to do...

Mozilla is _not_ owned by AOL.

It looks like they copied this feature (together with the shortcut) from Galeon.

The algorithm that Python uses is described here.
Parser doesn't see spaces/tabs, it receives INDENT and DEDENT tokens from lexer.
non-gcc?

Oh great, slashdot editors published spam by accident. How about the new icon? :)
After all, it's a part of the OS and cannot be removed, right?
You are wrong. I don't see guys from Wipro working on anything but integration with Solaris and migration from CDE (with very few exceptions).
:-)

I have much more files on by Debian box _today_.
No I Don't.

Will copies being sold in Europe contain this "feature" too? I'm European and I don't trust US goverment at all.
