    Yeah because it's comparable?

    Though I think high tech swimming fabrics are weird to.

    But powerlifting gear would be more like using an uv scooter in the swimming competitions ... Or at least a pair of fins on their feets.

    The basic need for "gear" in swimming is still to cover up body parts, you can still do that in powerlifting without a suit or bench press shirt increasing your lifts with say 20%.

    Exactly and all which need to be said. What's the reason to have a competition in physical performance when some people cheat? Who cares what they can do if they use steroids, robotics, and so on?

    Personally I think even doping free power lifting suck because of the belts, knee wraps and even more deadlift and squat suits and bench press shirts. The people competing in that area compete on how much they can lift, but then use equipment which raises the lifts above what their body could do alone? Who the fuck cares then? They can't lift the weights and the competition is totally useless. They can't even use the competition results to say (for real) that they can squat this or that amount of weight.

    I guess a second alternative is to just not compete in any sports.

    If you got the eye movements part how the fuck is this offtopic?

    I don't want to wave my hand around (I have not RTFA), just let the pointer and window focus follow where I look and I'm done. No need for a fucking mouse.

    Just give me "focus follows mouse movements" and I'll do the rest with my hands on the keyboard thank you.

    Would work great in FPS games to, if I look a little to the left then rotate the view ... Maybe harder for RTS but let me select by holding a key down and move my eyes and we are done.

    Yeah, I guessed development would be behind when it came to features, didn't know it was so far behind though, but I suppose they may have done it in a way which let them take more recent code later on and update it?

    Or maybe not.

    I wasn't saying Lotus or whatever was good, I was honestly wondering what was bad.

    Is the not-very-logical-menues-issue just an issue with Lotus or with this office suite? Because if it was with Lotus who cares? This isn't about Lotus.

    I don't know what is from Eclipse either, the UI? Or is it written in Java? Or what? Do he mean that it looks like Eclipse? In that case I like it so I don't see the problem.

    Thread is about Lotus Symphony, not Lotus Notes.

    Unless:

    1. Profit!
    2. Steve Jobs quit/dies/..

    Personally I'd be happy with:
    1. Flash dies (if not possible Adobe release better flash version for macs.)
    2. Apple "get" gaming.
    3. Apple sell hardware for a decent price.
    4. Apple sell well-speced machines.
    5. Apple focus on OS X and not lots of other bullshit.

    But maybe that's just me ;)

    If nothing of the above would be possible (and it's not very likely to happen) this would work to:
    1. The free software desktops gets some commercial quality software in all genres.
    2. Nah, I'm done.

    I will buy more things, I like that they try to get rid of cheaters and people abusing the game for profit. Those people just destroy the game for all others.

    I doubt blizzard do this for themself as much as for their costumers (which if there was lots of cheaters and people grinding for profit would not have been future costumers and therefor would affect Blizzard themself to.)

    It's the people who run patched games which suck.
