I recently fell inlove with Jedit, a Java editor. You get cross-platform and a genious editor (there is a plugin for almost anything). Highly recomended.

Just like KDE is not Free Software because it is based on Qt, which has a comercial license? Well, hell, is it me or I didn't have to pay anything for my Qmail server, and it came with source code? What else does it need to qualify for the Free Software title?
Oh yeah, it's called NURBS. So it already exists. They are like vector art compared to pixel images. But how would you convert from nurbs to polygons? Most modelers want a good (precise) control over their mesh, something that an automatic conversion doesn't allways give.
Softimage is not a renderer, it's a company, their flagship product, Softimage XSI is not a renderer, it's a full 3d production environment and its renderer is called MentalRay and it's prodused by a company called mental images. And yes, Microsoft owned Softimage some years ago, but now they are owned by Avid. And you should thank Microsoft for bringing profesional 3d apps to the "masses" - aka Windows NT, moving them from SGI workstations and the like.
BTW, I'm not a Microsoft lover, just speaking the truth:)
I am sure those programs are just some regular KDE apps that Lindows modified to look like Apple's. For example, Juk is a sure candidate for the music player. But, hey, people, I really don't see this as a bad thing. We want world domination, right?:-) So it's only natural to give the users the look & feel of an application that they use and love. Open source does not necesary have to mean innovation. Just what it says: open source, so people can contribute. I don't see any people contributing to iTunes, and that's only because they can't.
I hope you know that all high-end 3d packages are available on Linux: XSI, Maya, Houdini, Real3d. And then you have some cool open source, like wings3d, that can cover some a lot of ground on the modeling field. Combine that with blender & yafray, and (theoreticly) you have a complete open source animation studio!
Same as PDF file viewing, image viewing, cvs repositories, etc.
Konqueror is just a wrapper in most cases around a Kpart (in the case of web-browsing, Khtml). I think Konqueror is the best of the free browsers (and i include here the ones that come with the OS itself, too).
Sorry, but KDE's implementation is the best available (beats GNOME, WindowsXP, don't know about Mac).
For example, in windows xp there is no easy way to modify the locations on the left bar. There are no bookmarks (KDE includes bookmarking directories - even remote - and files). Kde's file selector is network transparent, configurable, etc.
Kde file selector has been decent since like forever.:) at least kde 2.2
let's not forget that konqueror already "kinda" support the "spatial navigation" - right click, open in new tab. That is, if you realy care to see all the directories in separate windows. This feature is really handy, especially if one of the tabs is an FTP or whatever conection...
I wonder why don't they (GNOME people) work on integrating their existing infrastructure - like VFS support in any app, embedable apps like KParts in KDE, etc, there are too many issues - and only work to transform their desktop into a clone of MacOSX. I think that KDE is more suited to me as a simple user than GNOME, whose target is enterprise.
Why don't you address this question on a Linux distro forum, a linux newbie list, or the Gnome forums? I think you would have much more success... I'm wondering, why didn't you do it until now, if it's so important to you?
Anybody else thought their email announcement is extremly hilarious?:)

Fedora Core test 2 is available for x86 and x86-64 It should not be installed where production is hot; use it only for test, as we say quite a lot.
If you install with the default SELinux will be the result SELinux is a form of MAC For more answers, check the FAQ [*] By explicitly stating what apps can use Unwanted accesses it will refuse
So please test test2 in this mode; and please test it with your code. Plus it comes with a new GNOME; can you test that in your home? Also X.org is new, replacing XFree, test it too. And 3.2.1 of KDE We need to test, test, test, you see! So we will test it on our box. And we will even test out sox. And we will test it in our house. And we will test it with our mouse. And we will test it here and there. Say! We will test it ANYWHERE!
no 2 is only valid if you have the profesional edition of 2k/xp and a floating licence server.
But it becomes valid with any linux instalation with X and LTSP.
Historicaly, the man pages have to give you only the exact information that would allow you to duplicate a piece of software. That is, document all the functionality and options, not care about examples. Info pages, I think, are supposed to be more detailed.
I also find the man pages very weird and not helpful, but I always find usage examples in the program's documentation or on the www.

Are you serious? Have you ever used it more than 5 minutes? I don't need the stupid wallpaper distracting me or mixing colours in my view when I'm working on a piece of grafic. The MDI interface is just fine as it is. Sure, it's not standard, but it's the best suited for the job. Actually, I wish Photoshop would behave more like Program Manager and have icons for minimized windows, instead of the windows borders.
I've just tried lifting my mouse. Have you? I really hope, if there will be any 3d input device, will make it easy on the hand and not require big muscles on the hand just to work full day
Perhaps you should start the TaskManager as root, to have the rights to kill a root process. Or, do what I do, ctrl+alt+esc and click on the yast window (of course, this is from my experience with various distros, never Suse, and mostly KDE). Or just run xkill:)
Sounds familiar, but not really. The act of sending messages is the same, but the protocol is different.
I've looked into it as a method of pushing information to a group of people (think egroups for example, with the use of Jabber). Actualy what I think is the "killer feature" of this method is that you cannot be spamed. You have to accept the sender as a friend before you can receive his messages. And another good feature, important for those who want to have their own email server (as I do, for various reasons), when you send a message, it's not uploaded in 40.000 copies at once (just an example), but can be downloaded gradually by the users, as they go online.
No it doesn't. You do check your emails everyday by opening your email client, right? So why wouldn't you open your IM client, to receive all those incoming messages, that are stored on the server until you log in... (Jabber, Yahoo, MSN, all have this feature).

False. Plone has two variants of Epoz - WYSIWYG editors. They work on Mozilla, IE, Opera and possibly - I'm not sure - Konqueror.

Fedora Core test 2 is available for

If you install with the default
SELinux will be the result
SELinux is a form of MAC

Unwanted accesses it will refuse

So please test test2 in this mode;
and please test it with your code.
Plus it comes with a new GNOME;
can you test that in your home?
Also X.org is new,
replacing XFree, test it too.
And 3.2.1 of KDE
We need to test, test, test, you see!
So we will test it on our box.
And we will even test out sox.
And we will test it in our house.
And we will test it with our mouse.
And we will test it here and there.
Say! We will test it ANYWHERE!
