  5. Re:UI on Splashscreen for OpenOffice.org 2.0 Wanted · · Score: 2, Interesting
    OpenOffice.org is a strange one on OS X...

    You have two choices at the moment - OpenOffice.org for X Windows, the official port, but development is very slow, and recent version(s) do not compile... or, NeoOffice/J, a port that runs in Java, with the OpenOffice toolkit although this is being worked on to have a native Aqua interface.

    In other words, be patient, (or in true OSS-style) join either or both project and start helping ;)

    I use NeoOffice/J on my mac - its a little slow, but i prefer it to running X just to use an office app

    Not many alternatives left?????

    How many do you need? - Fluxbox (or blackbox or *box), Windowmaker, IceWM, Enlightenment, XPde, None, ION, Ratpoison, or the several more that I cant be bothered to find for you...

    Alternativley, you could use google to find out how to turn the spatial interface off & use the old nautilius

    *Looks at pictures again, just to make sure*

    NO, they dont go in the same space - one (the G5Jam) goes in the space in front of the PCI slots; the other (the Swiftech) goes down the bottom at the front between the air intake for the CPU's and the fans.

    *wonders if parent looked at the pictures*

  16. D-Link DWL-120+ on Linux Unwired · · Score: 1
    I have couple of these USB WiFi adaptors, bought for my mom & sis - never had any joy in getting them running under linux

    Its been a while since I tried (last christmas iirc), but they seem to follow D-Link's tradition of picking a whole bunch of different chipsets & giving them all the same product number...

    I think there may even be a few different 120's ( a DWL-120 and a 120g or similar) just to confuse everyone even more

    Are there any USB - WiFi adaptors, that run in linux? - my family keep grumbling about the *cough*borrowed*cough* version of XP they both use - I would get internal pci cards, but my sis's pc doesnt have pci slots - its a wierd mini AST pc from several years ago. My moms is a regular pc, but its in the corner shielded by walls so I bought the usb one so i could put it in a more accessible placce

  20. PC/Mac LAN Gaming on Diablo II Gets Native Mac OS X Installer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Can you play Diablo II multiplayer over a lan with a pc?

    If it doesnt I dont care.

    Im fed up of games that are ported to the mac, but not compatible with the same game on a PC played over a direct LAN connection. Im not a programmer (I know, I know...), but it seems to me that it shouldnt be that difficult, im presumably theyve come from the same codebase so they should be reasonably compatible.
