There are gnome-2.10-pre ebuilds in portage now but they are all hard-masked. The only issue in terms of emerging is unmasking them and getting a libgnomecups-0.2.0.ebuild into net-print. As far as how its working... well... I'm compiling:P
In plain English: When you run platform independant applications you can run them on any platform. Switching platforms becomes more like the switch of a back end. The user is oblivious to the back end.
Actually, mono is currently using cairo a lot. In fact, their new Windows.Forms is switching to a native implementation. System.Drawing uses cairo. This implies gtk# as well.:D
Actually that's what mono is all about. Running.NET applications natively. I even read on the site that in the long term they hope to bring over avalon. As of now they are working on the whole windows.forms which is a huge deal.
I haven't tried out neoffice but I must admit MS office for mac is damn impressive. When MS is forced to omit OS-level integration and install only 4 apps, none of that other crud, it works out quite nicely. In fact, the UI hit the sweet spot, it loads fast, it's very nice, and it's not bloated at all. The install is nice and snappy too because all you gotta do is copy a folder and stick the cd key in.
I still prefer to use latex for writeups but when i need to use office, MS office for Mac is pretty damn good. There is a reason why office for mac consistently gets better reviews than its windows counterpart.
As a linux user before i got my mac i was wondering the same damn thing... but then i got my mac. First of all, the X11 applications don't conform to apple's UI guidelines. It just doesn't fit in at all. It's goofy and awkward. Secondly, you gotta load up an x11 environment and then the application. You thought it took long enough to load up already? Luckily X11 doesn't take up too much memory though x11 applications feel less responsive for stuff like menu systems. It draws really fast, but doesn't respond too quickly.

Time for nasa to get off its scared little ass and start realizing that space is a new frontier and there will be accidents and mistakes.

If you're a gnome user you should probably check up on Planet Gnome. Here's one blog in particular that may be of interrest.
Not to misquote 1984 or anything but...
They were always trying to get e17 out.
Throw out a few more permutations of the alphabet please. I enjoy reading cryptic bullshit.
Surprisingly enough, there are many /.'ers who dev for a living. Sadly, news of such patents affects end users as well.
Only engineering students get that much. Literally, no joke! Do not mod as funny.
Although point releases are small and often have stuff i'll never use, i still get excited. Could it be i'm a mac zealot? maybe....
.05% speed increase. Much more fun that fourier transforms.
Now time to install new opengl drivers so i can play gltron in class on my ibook with

Macreate.net /.'d fast, but it's here as well!

What do you mean? We were always at war with Eurasia ;P
actually samba IS better.
With a name like that, no wonder it was forgotten. Xanudu, Xunudu, Xunado, ahh screw it.
How about you getting the bonus check!?

It is damn pathetic. You ever seen bush try to think on his own? My god!
It also only requires a dx7 model card afaik.
Heh. I understood that. Aboot time someone actually knew enough about what they were talking about to explain it in plain english. Good Job.
But glaciers aren't made of wood?
Hehe... sounds like 1984! The 3 leading world parties basically froze time to stay in power indefinently.
