Go for zope. All you're mentioning is already built (internal, or extension products): workflow, caching, object based database, transaction, etc. I don't know if it's easier than Java, but it's easy enough for me.

Not knowing what Rails is (ROR is mostly a server thingy, the AJAX extension is just that, an extension), doesn't it bother you that you're posting without having an idea on what you're posting?
Why do you miss the point? That is, if the grandparent says he doesn't want to load the KDE libraries, then why would he load the gnome/gtk libraries? There's no way to have a modern really light desktop on linux. Sooner or later you'll have to load one of the two main widget toolkits.
Personally, I enjoy my linux desktop best when I use wmaker or enlightment. But I will load Firefox and konqueror and not
I would recomment Silo for speedy organic modeling, and if you need rendering maybe a basic version of Cinema4d 9 (quite a good modeler by itself: poly + nurbs), plus the advanced rendering module. And I believe it would come cheaper than modo. And you get the possiblity to buy more Cinema modules, as you need them.
Apples to oranges. Thunderbird, unless there's a way to connect it to Sunbird, it's not equivalent to Outlook. The guys that did the test also have a comparison between OE, Thunderbid and I think Kmail
They may want to release the updates earlier, without waiting for whatever linux/bsd distro to updated their packages.
And it seems fair to me. If I run fedora, for example, if I'm concerned about security, I can always download and install their binary package. Because, for example, I couldn't find an updated rpm for firefox 1.0.4 (only a spec file)
Take it as a challenge and go with that (create your own browser). In fact, if you manage to complete the browser, I promise I'll even pay suport for it. Heh?:-)
And how dificult would be to rewrite the windows update to not use IE? It seems to me that, in the first place, IE was not necesary. up2date from Fedora, a reasonably similar (although sometimes disfunctional) piece of software does not use any browser engine. How hard it is to connect to a website and to get a list of software without needing a browser?
The only reason for that browser that I can think of is that it contains the ActiveX container to run their things on, but that can be replaced easily.
Just what we need. Internal fights between developers for 2 open source projects...

Safari vs. KHTML

not very true... I remember that Apple chose KHTML instead of Gecko because it was lighter and they could bend their way easier.
But now the problem is that they've forked the engine and instead of keeping it synced to the main development from KDE, they're sending patches for the old branch. The new branch from the KDE guys is supposed to be cleaned up, so that makes mixing it with those patches pretty hard.
That's how I understand this problem. Maybe I stand corrected.
That's very very true! Although I have quite a bit of command prompt experience (I've been using linux for about 6 years now) I use MC even for basic things such as changing directories.
If you don't know the directory layout, it's easy to change the directory using the Alt+S combination to jump to a specific letter. Also, Ctrl+X Ctrl+S creates a link, Ctrl+X T copies the current file to the command line, ctrl+O reveals the command line, has ftp browsing, supports most of the archive formats (rpm, zips, rar, tar.gz, bz, etc.
I love it. It's the first tool I've installed back then when I've tried freebsd (only it took me a while to find out that to call it you had to use midc or something like this, instead of mc.
Of course there are people who write books in Word. But writing a book is such an easy task that it can also be done in notepad. It doesn't even touch the advanced capabilities. Well, maybe you could use styles, indexes and history tracking, but beyond that...
And I am beyond simple word processing with Word. I have programmed Word (both through VBA and COM interface) and I have 2 years experience in profesional typesetting (Quark Xpress & PageMaker), so I think I pretty much understand what everything related to word processing and typesetting.

Oh, right... Let's be serious: if you're not aplying for a VBA programmer job, one's experience with OpenOffice will be good enough to handle anything in Microsoft Office. Either that, or that person is too stupid to see the similarities.
And really, almost everybody I know who uses Word doesn't even know about paragraph styles, image wraping or anything close to justify using a word processor. Although I must admit that Excel gets a few more advanced users, but also has its share of losers.

So I understand that you're not using K3b, amarok, kopete, konqueror, kate, quanta or any other good kde app because you want to be stuck with Xterm?
And it costs a lot.

Who told the god damn noobies about slashdot?
Just today I was looking at this page It's a list of ten easy to do mistakes in Ajax apps. Some of them are not that easy to avoid...
I'm sorry for my ignorance, but what other apps are dependent on firefox libraries?

Are they selling /. ids now on ebay? The lack of knowledge you seem have about links on this website seem to give credit to that thought.
