Even GTK+'s current file selector is quite keyboard friendly. You can already type something like "../../whatever.txt" and have it work.
It doesn't do globbing, but it does do tab completion (which is a lot more convenient imho, expecially in a file selecting dialog that's supposed to select one file...).
So you can already type something like "/u[TAB]lo[TAB]b[TAB]moz" to select/usr/local/bin/mozilla. I'm sure this will also work in the new one.
I hate Real as much as the next guy, but you're missing the point here.
Real's complaining that "Microsoft has used its monopoly power to restrict how PC makers install competing media players". They argue that PC makers should be allowed to (at least) ship Real preinstalled *in addition* to WMP.
If I'm obliged to agree to a eula, and give my mail address to a company that has spammed me in the past, just to look at the code then I'm simply not interrested. They may call it "open source" all they want, but free software it ain't.
I wouldn't want to touch Helix even with a very, very long pole.
Unfortunately Helix seems as intrusive as anything else from Real. It's even worse: you can't download anything without giving them a valid mail-address, and you must agree to their eula.

The whole reason for having patents is that protection from competition for 20 years is supposed to make more products possible.
In spite of this, the law protects companies that have no intention at all to create any products with their patent, and punishes companies that does something useful. That's just plain stupid.
soffice2.bin is a prelink friendly binary for OpenOffice that is not run by default since it was added so late in the game. It loads in 2-3 seconds even on my ancient machine.
See fedora mailing lists for details.
even choices for captialization are the same. for example, "ThreadNDCConverter"
No mystery there. ThreadNDCConverter is capitalized *exactly* according to very established java code conventions. See for example http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConvent ions.doc8.html
No, FC1 doesn't support mp3s out of the box. But there's no need to compile xine, mplayer, etc. yourself - there are at least two good repositories to choose from.
Go have a look at rpm.livna.org and www.freshrpms.net (see http://www.xades.com/proj/fedora_repos.html for some instructions).
You're actually downloading a directory called yarrow-binary-i386-iso, containing three isos (descriptively called disk1, etc...). These are the ones to burn.
You're actually making a good case *for* DARPA's idea: the market is cannot be predicted accurately by "experts"; so the best possible estimate of the market value is the actual market value (otherwise said experts could make big bucks).
INA(US)L, obviously, but what they're saying in their threat letter to big companies is essentially:
"We're gonna make sure something bad happens to you if you don't give us protection money. We're not gonna tell you what you pay for."
That sounds more like something that should be whispered in a dark alley in a black-and-white movie.

If you haven't seen it yet, a visit to http://www.spam.com is a must. This is the meat replacement product the Pythons were talking about. There's a nice screensaver, and wonderful slogans like "SPAM Lite. Try it.".
And it's apparently all very serious.

Yes. However, the case against e.g. 2600 wasn't.
Imagine that, instead of getting modded down, you got arrested for mentioning child porn. That's China.
Well... Imagine that, instead of getting modded up, you would end up in court for describing how to decode a DVD. That's the U.S.

You're probably thinking of the "Burning Bush", which is an ancient middle east concept.
And it is (ever so slightly) better than Anux.

Actually, patent laws are pretty stupid as well.
The whole reason for having patents is that protection from competition for 20 years is supposed to make more products possible.
In spite of this, the law protects companies that have no intention at all to create any products with their patent, and punishes companies that does something useful. That's just plain stupid.
It is (obviously) not hard to find bad examples of software patents. But are there any good ones?
In my view, there should be only one rule: "Would X have been invented without the 20 years of protection from competition provided by patent law?"
There is absolutely no reason for society to allow patents for inventions that don't pass this simple test.
One tip if you want to try again (as root):
# cd /usr/lib/openoffice/program
# ln -sf soffice2.bin soffice.bin

Check out this for more details.
There's also a lot of extras at Freshrpms (although not updated for Yarrow yet).
Would that be ['win-fucks]? As in "Oh no, WinFX up again?"
