    Initially, its slow becuae the network is a) still in beta b) The number of nodes are small because. If users wait about 10-20 minutes then things WILL speed up. I advise users to wait until at least the 5 images on the front page to load before exploring freenet. Remember each user is forced to share, and once the freenet matures and there is at least 1000 pernament nodes then the speed will be a lot faster..

    You are right. Koffice is the only office suite I know that has ALPHA filters for sxw files. Abiword dosen't have it either. But then they have their own XML formats that are not compatible with each other. I think if ALL the open source office suites settled on ONE open standard and have FLAWLESS import/export of .docs then we will be ready for primetime.

  20. My experience on OpenOffice 1.1 RC 1 Released · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Ive tried the betas, and yes, they ARE FASTER, but there is still some problems. First it still struggles with the fonts. It dosen't have Font config support So about 50% of my fonts don't work (including my MSTTF fonts).

    Secondly its annoying that it naggs you if you save in .doc format and tries to make you use its own proprietary format.

    Finaly That lightbulb has got to go. It's a horrible paperclip clone. Other than that, it's great, and that PDF export is REALLY helpful.

  21. It's the gtk file dialog stupid! on Linux on the Desktop · · Score: 0

    Dig up an old copy of windows 3.1, run a program, look at the file dialog. Then load look at a gtk notice any thing similar?

    KDE on the other hand has a wonderful file dialog which is an enchanced version of the windows XP one, but with loads more flexibillity.

    I know that gtk 2.6 will imporve their widgets, but both KDE and gnome need to unify the look & feel of their widgets, such as file dialog, colour dialog, standardized colour and font configuration (geramik was the closest that could do that)

    Do that, and granny won't complain why the gimp looks like windows 3.1 paint.exe
