  1. OpenOffice fonts! on New OpenOffice.org-Based Office Suite · · Score: 1, Informative

    i'm using debian, and the fonts are terrible! (the fonts used by the program for things such as menus).

    Anyone know how to fix the problem?

    Do other distros have this problem?

    I just saw the screenshots for SOT, and the fonts looked as they should.

  2. Re:Why I no longer use gentoo on Gentoo 1.0 Released · · Score: 0

    Some of my closest friends are Muslim. To me, religion makes no difference to how good, or how bad a person is.

    (i'm agnostic)

    However, some religions seem corruptable. ie christianity, islam
    there always seem to be some people being blown up in the name of one of them.

    If I followed a relgion, it would be buddhism.

  3. what happens to the source? on Gentoo 1.0 Released · · Score: 0

    This looks very interesting, but what happens to the source after a program is installed?

    There is no point having a million .o, .cpp, .c,... files hanging around the system. Does Gentoo automatically remove them? (hard drive space would get used up quickly if not)

    Is there an X based dselect sort of program?
    Why does the site say its based for x86.. wouldn't it be REALLY easy to port to other systems?

    thanks

  4. Re:Another nanny state on EFA: Censorship In Oz Wastes Taxpayers' Money · · Score: 1

    Huge rise in crime?
    Sure crime is becoming a problem in western sydney, but not having guns makes no difference. Hardly anyone owned guns before anyway, so nobody could stop someone with a gun before.

    What about the DECREASE in suicide? as people can't find guns, they have to take other methods to kill themselves, and whilst thinking how to do that change their minds.

  5. Re:What, no technical discussions? on Supercavitation: Ultrafast Underwater Weapons · · Score: 1

    Even if they did go faster than mach 1, they would still be extremly easy to find. If it is an attack on a city, for example, a network of sonar would detect these things after they have gone past. Just like how when you hear a plane that is going faster than mach 1.. you definatly know it is there..

  6. Re:non-military uses - like fast travelling? on Supercavitation: Ultrafast Underwater Weapons · · Score: 1

    Isn't is called scramjet?
    It has been developed by nasa, and the queensland university of technology, australia.

    Runs off hydrogen.. nothing else
    Problem is that you have to be travelling at mach 5 for it to start (or something rediculous like that)
    perhaps launch these aircraft from maglev type device?

    cheers, Rob
