Abiword has good i18n support, and I'm almost positive I've seen a screenshot of Abiword in Chinese. I'd also imagine that GNOME 2 would support Chinese pretty well if properly configured, thanks to all the new Pango/Unicode stuff..
No sane user will be uploading bogus files. It's OVERPEER that's doing that. Hopefully people will be smart enough to delete them and not upload them themselves.
A similar story: I'm working on a pet project that's currently at about 550 lines of C. I, a reletively incompetent programmer, have spent about ten hours on it. A good programmer could have written it in two hours or less. Yet, sloccount estimates the total cost as $14,835, and the total development time as 1.32 months.
I don't own the manual, but almost everything else I've read says it's quite good. And I've never found any decent tutorials for Blender. They're all incomplete, incomprehensible, or filled with ads and Flash.
If you've found a useful tutorial, I'd be very appreciative if you would post a link.
Good god, people. This app has been out there for years. It's been mentioned in prevoius/. stories. Most people already know about it. This isn't news.
I know I'll get modded down for saying this, but Taco, as an "editor", couldn't you at least have fixed This Guy's Moronic Capitalization Scheme?
Moderators: let me explain something. Even if you feel that a post is worthy of a -1 rating, there's NO NEED TO MOD IT DOWN if the parent post is already at -1. Replies to -1 comments are hidden for anyone whose threshold isn't -1, so there's NO POINT WHATSOEVER in wasting your mod points on them.
Unless you just like fucking with people's karma. In that case, I have 50, do your worst.
UNIX is not like Windows: when a user installs an application on UNIX, he does not expect that application to install random files in arbitrary directories all over the filesystem.
Yes he does. A proper UNIX program will install files in/usr/bin,/usr/doc,/usr/share,/etc, and various other places, as opposed to a Windows program that installs everything in C:\Program Files\$progname, with the occasional library in C:\windows\system
If you wanted, there's probably a way to script it with bash/perl/sed/etc. Granted, this wouldn't be easy for the average user. But then again, the average user doesn't spend much time on IRC.
Anyway, if the program name is hardcoded, that's not very good software design. They should go and replace every occurence of "BitchX" with some PROGNAME constant.
As a matter of fact, Debian doesn't check signatures on packages. As much as I love Debian and apt, I have to admit that this is one of its more serious flaws.
It's not really that much of an issue. It would be trivial to go into the BitchX source code, edit the PROGNAME definition, or whatever the equivilent, and make yourself a nice new IRC client named whatever you want.

I agree with the AC. It wasn't funny.
It is. RTFA.
On some p2p networks, they are. On kazaa, probably not.

And, of course, 82% of statistics are made up on the spot.

The problem is that the documentation never was and still isn't free. How is one supposed to learn this sort of program wihtout the docs?
I'm aware of all this ("The Who Towers" :-). But this just seems worse than usual.

Off-topic: You're welcome to pledge whatever you want. That doesn't mean the rest of us should have to.
Windows 95 didn't use NTFS, it used FAT.

Sorry, only 3rd. This might be the fourth.
It is. How is that relevent?

It works fine for me using an mplayer CVS snapshot with the ffmpeg/libavcodec DivX codec under Debian.
Google supports Klingon.

Of course, this also works with an open-source firewall, an open-source OS, and an open-source backdoored IRC client.
