At work I use Tina http://www.tina.com/English/tina/ on Linux under Wine. I put a report in the winehq app database about it. The version I have just needs to run in a Wine fixed-size virtual desktop.
Tina is currently my favorite simulation package since the license is quite cheap, it has an integrated schematic editor and is generally fast and easy to use.
I can't say if the latest and greatest version of Tina works with Wine though, since the version I have a license for is a couple of years old now.
If people finally have the choice on installation then they need to know what they are choosing. Otherwise they will stick with what they know and MS will start crowing that most people choose IE even when they have the choice.
I know adverts are hopelessly expensive and Firefox isn't able to pull one off very often but now is a good time if they can. Also, is there any way to trigger a timely browser shoot-out review in some printed PC magazines?
Things to highlight to the public may be features that IE doesn't implement such as the video tag, java-script performance, conformance to standards, plug-in availability. Obviously put across in a way that most people will understand.
I should be able to use the Windows Kernel with X, the Windows API on Linux, and Office on Free BSD.

I'd like that garden gnome next to the fish pond. And once I've bought it, no garden gnome smith is going to stop me putting it there on terms of my choosing!
As a Linux user I am used to laptops and desktops never quite working because the BIOS power management only works with Windows.
There are two possible reasons for that. One is that the open source software hasn't been written yet to take advantage of published APIs or, another possibility is that the manufacture is hiding it's APIs to make it really difficult to use anything except Windows to manage the system power.
If it is the latter then in it seems to me highly irresponsible on the part of the hardware manufactures. How to save energy when their hardware is not being used is really not something to be hiding for any reason these days.
I realise I don't exactly represent a significant number of users here. I'm just thinking in terms of what I can do to save energy at my own desktop (apart from the obvious switching stuff off when not in use!) and what's in the way. And Windows-centric BIOS's seem to be the main culprit.
This is great news but when I say an IMAX movie the one thing that I really noticed was that 24 frames per sec looks really naff, and can even cause a headache, when everything else is so realistic.
Since the Odeon system is digital I guess it is possible to overscan it and use clever motion interpolation to make movement look smooth, like some of the newer HDTVs do now. Anyone know if they do this?
Otherwise with decreasing storage costs the native frame rate of the films will hopefully get up to 70+ fps soon.

OpenLaszlo compiles to either flash or DHTML. Its not a Flash lock-in.
I'd be surprised if it were possible to display streaming video in just DHTML.
How about just getting up earlier all the year round. Move core work time to 8-4PM. That way it is nicely centred around mid-day. And mid-day can then mean exactly what it says on the tin (except for those weird time zones that jut out and extend in odd directions).
I just checked one. It's only 128kbps. At that bitrate MP3 is a poor choice for archiving compared to just about any other format. If not OGG then at least AAC. Personally, I'd prefer OGG, but I accept that most player device manufactures haven't touched it.
I'm just relieved it's not in WMA.
"Historically, KDE has been much more configurable than Gnome." Which is why a comparison between Gnome and KDE doesn't make sense unless each has really been made to shine. I use PCLinuxOS and Mandriva because they do just that with KDE. It's a lot nicer than a KDE default desktop that is shipped with many Gnome-centric distros.
The problem would be with the non-open source components that are required to migrate from Exchange and work with Outlook. The open source edition by itself doesn't compete with Exchange because it can't replace it. Also missing from the open source edition is replication and clustering so it is only useful in small shops.
The best thing Zimbra can do if this goes ahead is open source the whole lot......quick!
"As for Fujitsu's 0W-standby monitor, they conveniently omit the fact that this extra relay's coil and related components will be drawing an extra 1W or so while the monitor/TV is on."
I'm sure that design could be improved either by using a solid-state switch or a bi-polar relay that only needs a pulse to change state rather than to hold a state. What Fujitsu have done is a good start.
How long is a monitor on compared to off for most people anyway? In an average work place one would hope that most people get home to eat, be with the family and sleep for a larger proportion of the time. OK, if you're unlucky in that respect, just think of all the energy you will be saving while your monitor at home is switched off while you spend you're whole life at work;-)

They could use the GPL version of QT. That's what I'm doing at work (with pyqt and eric IDE) to make a cross platform app to work with an embedded device. If they use GPL software in the camera then they have to make the source available. Ditto with the desktop app. No big deal for a hardware manufacturer.
It would be helpful to know the specifics. Sounds like a straightforward [[WP:TEND]] issue. In particular...
You often find yourself accusing or suspecting other editors of "suppressing information", "censorship" or "denying facts".

Well Firefox 3.5.2 running on an old 3GHz P4 had a seizure trying to show all these dots. I got about one frame a second.

it is lossy compression, after all . . .

Post on loads of mailing lists that get indexed under your real name. Choose mailing lists that are non-controversial and keep the content boring.
I've noticed that posts I made years ago on some software project or another are still showing up today when I search for my (unusual) name.

Surely that depends on how close you are to the transmitter.
Which part of "random crashing" is alleviated by Linux? The "random" or the "crashing"?
With KDE 4.1 I'm getting "consistent crashing" :-

Did you use a de-noiser? He's made a good choice not to process the audio. De-noisers can do a lot of damage in the wrong hands :-O
