Mozilla being slower in X has nothing to do with drivers... it's Mozilla. In fact it was only recently (M17? M18?) that a fix was checked in to the tree for Linux which speeded up Mozilla no end. The bug was that the caches in X were being cleared for every drawing operation...
There is still lots of work to do on Mozilla, and 0.8 was visibly faster than 0.7.
Wavey scrolls come in two colours: blue and yellow. This indicated the scripting language used IIRC - JavaScript = Yellow; VBScript = Blue. Unknown files are a document with the Windows flag in.
Info files are hierarchical. Man pages are flat. This, info pages tend to be the definitive documentation (doubly so as they can be printed into chapters) and man pages are the concise reference, listing the usage only.
This is not a format conversion, but a symantic conversion. Try writing a perl script for that.:-)
The Simple DirectMedia Layer is the answer I think (www.libsdl.org). It provides 2D and 3D libraries, and will use hardware acceleration if it available. Kicks arse!
Actaully we crusified M$ for allowing any web page to embed an ActiveX control which can be downloaded from any web site and can then do anything on your machine.
This allows your application to define a custom tag for the render to catch and call you - thus allowing your code to use HTML for displaying interfaces with complex parts drawn by custom GTK components. There are no security problems as they cannot be put on the Internet.
Mine is the "disable pop-ups for specified sites" - excellent. All we need now is a frequently updated files on a FTP server with all of the porn/adverts/junk sites listed!
Well, I must say that I am impressed with the reply here!:-)
Anyone who suggested M$ Exchange formats to go and stick their head in a pig:-) it took me long enough to get all of my mail _out_ of a.pst file.
Maildir does seem to be winning the public debate - I am planning on upgrading to kernel 2.4.1 once Mandrake Cooker have a source RPM ready - so reiserfs is available to speed up directory searches.
So: how easy is it to migrate from UoW IMAP and Sendmail to Cyrus and QMail? As this is a home solution for now, are there any other SMTP servers which support maildir I can use? Sendmail at the moment is basically a relay server, I send mails to it and batch the sends in a cron job, and fetchmail forwards the mails it collects to sendmail for delivery.
Not even Microsoft is insane enough to suggest Exchange for an ISP solution. (They used to have a product called Commercial Internet Mail Server or something, but that was dropped.)
Oh yeah?

I was right about Javascript (which I typed as Java...) being open source. Go to any webpage with Javascript, then view the source (button/menu SOMEWHERE in your browser)
That does not make it open source. Plenty of web sites with Javascript (actually ECMAScript) code on has a copyright notice, stating that you cannot use this code without permission, no copying etc etc. You can see the source, but it's not open source.
.NET is not cross platform - read the specs...
Section 6.2.2 of the Common Language Runtime (IIRC), states clearly that the byte-ordering of the CLR is not specified, and is that of the host operating system. So: code compiled on a Windows box (i.e. Intel == little endian) will not run on any big-endian chip (ARM, Alpha, Sparc, Motorola etc). Does this sound cross-platform?
And has been said, there are plently of compilers which take code in other languages and produce Java bytecode.
Hang on... has anyone written a backend for GCC to output Java bytecode??
Take a look in the directories it installed and you shall see why it is so big _for now_ - it is using bleeding-edge libraries which are not available elseware (apart from CVS). When it is released these libs will be released too, so the download will be _far_ smaller.
What's wrong with the wv library - also known as wordview which was packaged with many Linux distributions. www.wv.com IIRC.
The default translation is DOC to HTML - which sucks. However, it internally generates XML which can be transformed into anything - one of the examples is TeX.
Personally speaking, I had a Logitech Pilot for 5 years, which I had to replace last month with a MouseMan+ as the cable was dying and movement was gittery at times (it was the cable as wiggling the cable without moving the mouse often fixed the problem).
Slightly off-topic, but I'm planning to stay as far away from AD as his humanly possible... If I need a directory service, it's gonna be NDS. Recent stories comparing NDS and AD are rather interesting...
www.novell.com/advantage is a good place to start. Somewhere on that site is a very good web page, smashing M$'s claim that AD is much faster than NDS (NDS can perform the search "Pa*" 1250 times faster than AD! With the same search with 100 clients, AD didn't return a result within a minute!)
For working in general, Maxwell is just amazing. Mellow soul, excellent songs, very production.
For fast work, The Brotherhood, Wu-Tang, Nas, and Jurassic 5 feature well, along with classic motown (Ready Steady Go Motown has 2 70 minute CDs - few changes required)
AFAIK Jakarta hasn't been started yet - they are still waiting for the reference code from Sun.
However, the Java Apache project is going strong, the final build of JServ (a servlet engine) was released recently, along with mod_jserv (Apache hooks to JServ).
They also have produced Cocoon, which is a XML transformation engine, and rather good too. Version 1 is just a proof of concept but still works well, version 2 which is being designed now looks like it will be amazing, the groundwork going into it is amazing.

IIRC, gtkHTML 2 is based on completely new source code. I did see a preview of it somewhere, but lost it... I'll try and dig it out
I'll say...

I couldn't see the milk frother attachement either? What is going on?
The Maildir format used by qmail...it will therefore never be supported in the official distribution
I read the docs (docs/format.txt) and my statement stands - UoW IMAPd does not support maildir.
Well, I must say that I am impressed with the reply here! :-)

I've just bought a Sony DVD-335S (or was it 355?) and it also doesn't play CDRs... :-( Dammit - it was going to replace my CD player in my hifi stack.
(well - it won't play TDK "White" CDRs - I might have to try better quality ones at some point.)
"and the Blackdown-derived 1.3 [J/S]DK from Sun simply doesn't cut it"
Yes, he has.

Tried freshmeat... nothing there does everything I want. I don't want to use two or three tools just to see the conflicts.
