I tried pie menus for about 3 weeks, and they are terrible. The first thing is that the pie menu that moves around is incredible laggy. Second, it's hard to know what the pictures mean, while it's easy to right click, and find what you're looking for in a text menu.

it's such a good thing, he said, that Oracle had just taken 3,800 lines of its own proprietary code, developed over more than a decade, and posted it on the Internet for all the world to see. "We're trying to be a good member of the community," he said.
Heh, 3,800 lines developed over a decade. More like a month of work.
Probably only $100,000, because the second step of the project hasn't been completed (make it legal and have it run without a mod chip). It sure looks impossible to me.

You better already know everything about OpenGL if you're writing a 3D modeling package.
I'll consider it when their server is running off of their own distribution.

Or you could require a packet come through for every millimeter of the cut.
I think the real question is, what would Jesus do to be on Slashdot?
Kill the trolls.

P.S.: Slashdot's lameness filter stopped from writing this post in all-caps. So much for attempted humour.
Next time, try inserting lots of junk lowercase html tags.
Thanks for reminding me of the great games of the past. Now I have to get vmware to boot DOS and install King's quest and space quest.
The GIF patent will expire in less than a year, I think.
The GIF patent expires June 20, 2003 and is US patent 4,558,302.
You mean ctrl-s and ctrl-q?
And several other permutations?
No, I think you got every single one.

Why not make a "page" size Arial/Times New Roman. Size 12 font. Double spaced, full page.

Well, maybe you and a couple other people in the world.
I beat you by two minutes.

I'm typing this into KMail using a USB keybaord
Looks like it's a buggy USB keybaord.
Duplicate comment from repeat story. Mod down.
Also, I just post a bunch of links to the last discussion of this, will I get +5, Informative?
Yes.
That'll get you enough energy to keep the turbine running.
