doesn't the gnutella protocal allow for the different clients to inter trade? I never thought of it before, but what is stopping the different p2p clients from intertrading files?
I agree that a major revamp of appleworks is just waiting to be debuted. But i don't think apple needs an excel replacement, well, they don't need to build one from scratch. Appleworks comes with a spreadsheet app. Maybe apple will make that "Counter" app and release the peices of their office killer one by one. Now all they need is a access killer...
"I FIRST asuume you mean you want OpenOffice the app, not the domain name."
Well, no, he meant he wants his quartz openoffice.org (the app). Openoffice is taken as a name. so openoffice(the open office suite based off of sun's staroffice) is officially called openoffice.org (OOo)
calculating pi is not overly hard... my understanding is that it needs a custom type to be put into... integers and what not in programming are only so big, and can only hold a number that is so big... there are doubles, which can hold even larger numbers... but neither evenstart to scratch the surface of a 1.3 trillion digit number.
one program can be done well...

"Microsoft doesn't think computer users should have to use one program to read and write a word-processing file, another to use a spreadsheet, and a third to correspond via e-mail. Rather, the company thinks, a single program should handle it all"
gobe productive anyone? they have an all-in-one "word processing, page design, spreadsheets, charts, illustration, photo retouching, even slide-show presentations" program that is very lean. If memory serves it fits in a couple dozen megs of space(or less), not the couple hundred that office takes up. Oh, and did i mention, it is going to be GPLed soon?

This project looks interesting. I will have to read up on it more. So, for those interested, here are a couple links you might want to check out.
Basicly, this system can scale to sizes of current p2p systems and far beyond. The system would would be able to "detect bad nodes quickly, and it would incorporate enough redundancy into the system to recover gracefully from tampering."
Basicly it is a beafy palm pilot, with a touchscreen display for around a thousand bucks. It has all the pda advantages with the computing power of a tablet. It can even be used as a desktop system (plugs for a normal monitor and keyboard/mouse).
I have been considering getting a lowend sony clie for use in (high)school. There are a couple kids in school that use their palms to take notes in class. They use the 90-something-dollar foldable keyboard and type away as the teacher lectures on about a world war.
"Doesn't this mean that unless you're willing to finance the project in whole, there's no guarantee that you'll ever see the software?"
No, it means there is no guarantee you will ever see the source. You can get the program for free, or buy it and if enough people donate/pay for the product, then the source will be released.
Example: lets assume doom3 is released under this model. You pay 50 bucks to buy the program with manuals and all, with a condition: if Id Software raised 1 million dollars off the sales of doom3, they will release the source to it. So if sales get high enough to meat the quota doom3 would be released under the GPL or license.
We have problems making cut/paste work between applications when they should simply work.
We have problems making distros work with eachother, with rpm built for multiple distros when they shouldn't need to be, they should be standardised.
Now you want to fork the linux kernel! Atleast on the most basic kernel level, let us pick something and keep it throught thick and thin!
we have a very similar setup at my high school. The lockdown software is likely called Poledit, and it comes free (undocumented) in the win98 cd. if you are interested, you can easily unlock the system.
power supplies are deadly to "play" with(as they have a varying timetable on when charges are still present or not), however, monitors lose their chareg after 48(or so) hours... just leave the monitor unplugged for a long weekend, play safe, and you are fine.
ever heard of spellchecking? even OOo has this great feature. and why does reading information from a website found off of a search engine affect your writing, it has never hurt mine.

a plugin for quicktime? Sharing movies would be a perfect extention of this software plugin.
Now that is just silly. There are only 24 timezones :)

Nope, still lame. Dangit...
and 6 and 12...
also 12 months in a year and 30 12's in 360(360 degrees in a circle), (roughly 360 days in a year,darn leap year).
Just coincidence?
yeah, pretty much. :)

well, it costs more, so it must be better! :)
This site sells tablets for "sub $1000." While Lindows claims they will be selling that same tablet for "around $500."

Because they can.

yes, yes you can.
