"Back - Forward : does it mean previous page next page or does it work like in the browser, that is if you're page 15 and you're jumping page 80, back will get you page 15. Page navigation is already present in the bottom left corner anyway."
That is funny, because your screenshot has the buttons "Previous" and "Next"... So, you have the same situation.
But, to answer your question, "Back" and "Foward" do the same thing they do on any other app that runs inside konqueror, they navigate through documments. It may be confusing at first, but is consistent.
"Fit to... : why a separator from other zoom options here ? Also these are already present in the drop-down. You might like it as a shortcut, the bar can be customizable, but this shouldn't be here in the default setup
Who would think about putting often used options at the menu?!?! How ostrageous!
Zoom tool : Yet another zoom thing ? You don't have anything other to do when reading docs than zooming in and out ?"
Zooming, browsing and selecting. Can you think about something else?
Nice dreamming, but you can't really implement OOXML by the documentation and Microsoft has patents on it (that they promisse not to use against people that fit some impossible criteria).
The file format doesn't need to be different, the text editor can diferentiate itself while writing completely usual files. The good part is that an open format (contrary to MS OOXML) makes it much easier to put your foot on the door once you create such ninche program.
Of course, Open Office isn't doing that, instead, it is trying harder to emulate a specific implementation of Word than Microsoft themselves. But other programs can apear and fill ninches (I'm waitting to next versions of KWord, that is taking a risky position here).
By the way...
"YouTube pressuring television (despite its crappy quality)"
You are talking about the quality of YouTube, right? That sentence confused me a bit.
"While on one hand this is a case where the government is defending a law that helps the RIAA, the intervention would have happened regardless of whether the record companies were involved because the government has a duty to defend its laws."
How funny... On my country, the government has the burden to defend the constitution.
"I think a better list of things to consider is whether you have freedom to (1) use, (2) share, and (3) change the software. If you can do all those then it's free software, no matter which company it came from. There's no reason to hold Microsoft-written code to a different standard to other code. If it's free it's free."
Ok, have you read any MS's EULA? Can you clearly tell what rights that document grants you, and what it doesn't grant? Let's take something simpler... Have you take a look at the GPLv2 (yes one of the simplest software licences out there)? Did you finish reading it without any doubt appearing about what the text meant?
Hystoricaly, Microsoft don't make partners, but victims. Also, it's almost impossible that they will create a document that plainly gives you those rights (people are still arguing about the details of GPLv2). Now, why should anyone bet on Microsoft honesty? If they are able to delude huge companies (with teams of lawers) into thinking they have a fair deal when in fact they don't, why should sole developers trust their interpretation of the licence?
Ok, I work at a 3K+ people* organiztion, and scheduling meetings isn't that hard. You may need a bit more meeting rooms, or a bit less meetings.
In fact, the hardest part is to get none of those day-to-day activities disturb your schedule. I've still not saw people put their day-to-day activities on their Outlook calendar, nor can Outlook manage those "surprise" activities that happen to mess lots of meetings.
* Not counting outsorced and other offices' workes (we have 27 of them, I work on the bigest).
In short, you won't be able to reverse all operations on a debuger, but it may save some money at your light bill. Personaly, I can't see how it can be used, but I'm no expert on it, and there is a lot of buzz on that.
OLPC is a non-profit. It is easy for the governments to give money to non-profits.
And governments are on it because the press is on it. The press is on it, obviouly because those companies that will manufacture the OLPC need publicity...
At least that is what is happening around here, at Brazil.

But the LGPL (2.1) can already be turned into GPL (2), can't it?

"but I haven't seen much debate about v3 of LGPL"
While using GPLv3, one can define extra permissions on a way that replaces LGPL.
"Just because the error is in favor of the customer instead of the company doesn't shift the morality of the issue."
That is the part I don't agree... Everything else is fine (even the cassino requesting its money back), but you can't really assume that a bunch of regular people has the same fighting power as a cassino owner.
The cassino and its customers are not de facto equal, so they should not be dealed with as equals.
By the time Microsoft was working on Win ME, it was working on Win 2000 in paralel (ME being the evolution of their DOS based systems, and 2000 of the NT based ones). It also didn't have all the delay (ME means milenium edition, and was released just on time to make sense).
The only time I can remember that Microsoft betted so hight on a OS was with Cairo (planned to be released by 92 with several features, including WinFS), that become Windows 95. That time they were sucessfull, but they reduced the bet size and created NT in between.
"while worldwide PC shipments are expected to grow 12.2% this year, portable PC volumes are expected to grow 28% and will make up more than half of all PC shipments in the U.S. this quarter."
Well, I'd wait untill desktop shipments start to reduce until I call it dead.
It's not quite sane to call dead something that is growing 12% a year.
Well, at least for me the "University of Michigan" option is still available. Tested now, while changing for the new system.
I didn't like the University of Michigan design because its javascript was too slow. Now I'll see what I think about this one tomorrow, when I'll use a slow computer, but until now everything seems ok.
By the way, what is that "Quote" button down here? Oh, it quotes the entire parent comment at the begining of mine. I didn't like that, very easy to abuse.
Ok, for other english impared people wondering what is checkers, it is the US name for game of draughts. If you follow that link, you'll instantly recognize the board:)
Of course, as a brazilian, I had no idea people played that on a 10x10 board around the world. Too bad they can't reuse the chess board:)

"wouldn't quantum effects become a problem at that scale?"
Quantum effects create the properties those people are looking for.
You should take a look on the meaning of "reversible computing".

Windows 7 is going to implement WinFS.
Really.
I'm serious!
Would you stop laughing?!
So, please tell me what is my misspeling. English is not my first language, and I really can't find it on my post.

That is from the US? And I tought your patent laws were bad...

The public should be for solving all the issues at once... Since separating them will lead to just solving the patents trolls.
Maybe you should read the article you point again. Or maybe even just the title, that is already about some completely unrelated stuff.
