Yes, I know it. First of all, on those screens, they are running Enlightenment with the Winter theme. The GTK2-theme is called "Milk" and indeed a port from an OS-X theme. That thing at the bottom is called "Engage" and part of the E17 applications that are available (even though E17 as a whole is not).

Most people don't need internationalization
I beg to differ. There's a world outside of where you live. In that world, internationalization is an issue. Or would you like to work with a system that displays everything in (for random example) French, because internationalization was "not an issue" for the developers?
You got that a bit wrong there, iirc.
Novell had the copyrights all along, yet SCO
Asked Novell repeatedly to hand them over.
Filed them at the copyright office after they couldn't get them.
Asked the judge in this case to assign all copyrights to them, arguing that they really really were transferred from Novell to Caldera - which they weren't.
I can already imagine the bounty for you if you go through with that.
"Dares to fix some problems. 1 Million Dollars, dead or alive (preferably dead)."
And quite frankly every innovation we made to our online calendar showed up 3 months later in someone elses calendar. In fact we even found instances where people had literally cut and pasted our code, comments and all!
Sorry to hear that, so sue them for copyright violation.
Ah, that reminds me on my old school... when we first started the newly install Windows NT computers, the teacher that installed them stared blankly. After bragging about how secure those machines now were after he took care of them, he had to acknowledge that we couldn't even shut them down (much less start any program), because we lacked the rights to do so!
Seeing that the EU has in part already granted similar things (IP enforcement directive, EUCD) and is now close to getting software patents (I so hope that this can be avoided), I would say stay the hell away from here.
And one should not forget that Cocoa is based on the OPENStep (or however it is capitalized) API. The same one that GNUStep utilizes, minus some of Apple's new APIs. Basically, one can use the GNUStep documentation to program on Cocoa, although one might need to tweak it a bit to work on OS X.
It is true. The original StarOffice was sold by a German company. It was pretty famous for being able to run on most OSes of the time. Sun bought them out a few years later and opened the code. The OpenOffice code is based on this old StarOffice, even though today StarOffice is a derivate of OpenOffice.org.
Ah, but how many of those are really users and how many are viruses/worms/automatic tools/search engine spiders? I for one assume that at least 10%, maybe more, of the IE-labeled access data is in fact not from IE, but from other sources.
You will be happy to know that the acpi-problem with the nforce2 chipset has been solved in Kernel 2.6.6. NVidia disclosed the info about what goes wrong and it is in the kernel now.
Yeah, but the problem in this case was that the patch that closed the hole made other systems unusable (iirc most of them couldn't have any network connection anymore), so it couldn't be used.
Don't they still have the 2.4 Kernel? I would assume the missing power features would have worked with a 2.6 Kernel or even a 2.4 Kernel with the ACPI-Patches.
Actually, that is not a bad point. It is a question if you want brand consciousness and a lot of jokes (you don't change the name to Thunderfox) or you want a similar naming scheme and a lot of jokes (you change the name). On the other hand, they might run into trademark-problems once again if they try to change the name of the program to Thunderfox. There are only so many words one can use for a product/company per market niche.
I'd say this is one of those problems that are best ignored, however not renaming it is the easier way out.
But is whining actually a good, natural part of videogaming?
No, whining is a good, natural part of being a human being. No matter the circumstances, we need to have something we can whine about or we are unhappy (and end up creating artificial problems so we can whine about them).
That said, I can understand people whining about cheese. If someone just acts following a tight formula (that in most cases wasn't even made by them, they found it on a FAQ site) he's somewhere around the capacities of a script kiddie.
However, if they are capable of doing more than just cheesing (and just prefer not to because it just works, not because they are too dumb to do something more challenging), then more power for them and learn how to play (and stop whining because you are not able to counter a tactic that has been used against you several times in a row)!
Slashdot Mirror
No. And neither should you.
That is no Kickerbar, it is called "Engage" and part of E17, downloadable via their CVS as seperate project.
That said, Dark City would also be on my list, though I don't know if it is 100% sci-fi.

It has recently been tested in a German court. I think the story was on Slashdot, too (it was on Groklaw at least).
Novell had the copyrights all along, yet SCO
The 101 reasons are here.
That sounds exactly like the Bielefeld conspiracy, just with the country of Finland instead of the town of Bielefeld.
I can already imagine the bounty for you if you go through with that.

There is an Exposé like hack available for Metacity.

Look here for the exact same story.

It's a quote I first heard at school a decade ago.
"Hell is not a place, but a state of mind."
No, we say "Day/Month". In Germany we say "on 5th June". Of course I cannot speak for other countries/languages.
Yeah, but the problem in this case was that the patch that closed the hole made other systems unusable (iirc most of them couldn't have any network connection anymore), so it couldn't be used.
