StreamDown can leech RTSP streams, but it has one of the worst interfaces I have ever seen. I believe the latest version FlashGet can download RTSP as well, but I haven't tried it.
I think the major problem here is the mythical Linux operating system: it simply doesn't exist. We have the Mandrake OS. The Linspire OS. The Fedora OS. The SuSe OS. All of these are 90% similar, yet compete directly such that none of them will be able to get the market share it needs to really take off, and thus give developers something better to do than worry about repackaging their apps for a hundred different OSes.
No funny key combinations. Repeat, no funny key combinations. Everything must be accessable through the menus. Yeah, I know you want to be able to bind any control key combination to any function. Don't. It doesn't really speed up use anyway. Read Apple's old studies on this. People blank out on the 500ms they're thinking about the control key combo.
It's the same thing as GUI vs. command-line: as a beginner, it takes a long time, but once you've got it memorized, it's a helluva lot quicker. Please, keep the key combos.
Plastik! Seriously, it's the best skin I've ever used. Slick, curvy, professional. It is nice to look at, but stays out of the way. You can even use it on Windows, albeit with some bugs.
I dunno about #2, but #1 should be coming soon. I asked if they had any plans to add PGP/GPG support, and this is what I got in reply:
Hello,
Thank you for your message.
We apologize for the delayed response. Gmail is experiencing rapid growth. We have been working hard to keep pace with the popularity of our service while we respond to each individual message. We appreciate your patience.
While Gmail does not currently support this functionality, we are testing many new features to improve the Gmail service. You might be interested to hear that we are working on the following:
- Automatic forwarding of your email to another account - Plain HTML version of Gmail - Export Contacts
Here's my two performance gripes about Firefox (0.9.2/WinXP/512MB RAM/Athlon XP 2400+):
1) Absolutely horrid DHTML performance. (Bug 21762)
2) When there are more than a few tabs in a window, resizing the window is extremely slow and choppy. I suspect the browser is trying to resize all of the pages at once, instead of just the visible page.
That's not a report of this vulnerability. It's a comment about a proposed change that might have prevented this vulnerability, had it been implemented. At the time, there was no known actual vulnerability that demanded the change.
Sorry, that's not true. It was indeed a report of a vulnerability. The Mozilla team did not fix the vulnerability until an exploit appeared yesterday.
I hate having to say this, but that doesn't sound so different from Microsoft, does it?
Well, if you'd've read the article, you would've seen it is actually "The Mozilla Foundation, in partnership with Apple, Macromedia, Opera and Sun Microsystems". More messed up blurbs and lazy Slashdot editors.
Well, except for the fact that SquirrelMail completely sucks compared to Gmail. I tried it about 3 months ago. It was horrid. Hell, Yahoo's interface is better.
That's quite odd you posted that... just this morning I was wondering if there was any chance one could sue Macrovision et. al., and potentially argue the constitutionality of the DMCA. It looks like there just might be.
Slashdot Mirror
Don't forget nLite. Like XPLite, only it works on the install media instead of a current installation. Oh, and it's free.
I hear Keebler's got Linux running on a Cheez-It.

I'm quite convinced it is something run by MS. If it wasn't, the site would surely be Slashdotted by now.
Or maybe something like this.

I have absolutely no connection with AutoPatcher, except having used it.
It's as good as a Service Pack.

I'm afraid asking for the American public to not get fooled again is a bit much.
And maybe I should pay attention and read your reply. :P

I know. :P OLE was probably Microsoft's best technical achievement, and the one the Linux desktop needs the most.
You're right, we've only known this for thousands of years. Here's a good book on the subject. (No, I don't make any money from this link.)
We already have it. It's called KParts. :D

That's why you use cg_fov 20.
Did anybody else read that as 'Moon Scrubbed and Blown Dry'? :P

A better VG translation site would be The Whirlpool.
IE7. Check it out.
