My primary machine machine has been an IBM Thinkpad the last 3 years, and before that I had a nasty dell one. The nipple, and it's tight integration with the keyboard, is one of the best features in the Thinkpad.
Yes, it drifts occasionally, but it is not a big deal. Once you get hooked on the nipple there is no turning back. How people can even work with trackpads is beyond me - it is unusable compared to the nipple.
Let alone case sensitivity... According to the article, a "major shortcoming" is that SUM is not the same as sum. I guess koffice will have to strive hard to overcome the hard-wired dependence of corporate users to stupidities that were introduced by incompetence of m$ programmers...
This is a really good idea! Guerilla tactics against a law that was brought into the scene using unaccountable and under the hood lobbying.
And the best part of it is the irony involved: It really ridicules DMCA by following to the letter.
did anyone notice the name of the guy?

Make the HOs two: If you want to stay afloat after next year, you got to learn java. And why not betting the farm on it? I find it myself a safe bet! As string poses it: There are just too serious players involved in (AKA: too serious funds) to let it go away. Plus the ethics: You can develop in a real OS and let the poor-minded use it in their crappy Mofti$h os...
First of all, credit one for apple. As you point out, they are willing to learn - and this is still rare for corporations.
As you pose it, they might not be so many people that are willing to contribute to a project essentially run by (and for the profit of ) a corporation, but there will still be some.
Furthermore, having the code out in the public, forces the corporation to try to achieve higher quality standards (and quality is a real problem in their software).
Won't these bring an increase in effectiveness? OK, it won't be that effective as GNUish opensource, but it will still be more effective than their current model.
As for the license, it seems that more than "just a few" poeple read it. This is how it got ammended.

> Could you please explain which tools are you using for development, so I can use them too and make my life easier? :-)
