I much prefer the look and feel of CDE over KDE. Never tried GNOME.
Frankly, if KDE got so much momentum that it looked like replacing CDE as the standard desktop for commercial Unix distributions I would rather switch from Solaris to Windows 2000.
It is a shame that Netscape 6 will not be Motif based. It would be nice if Sun produced a Motif based Mozilla and included it as the standard Solaris browser.
I can't help but think that if the libraries on which these new, fancy desktops were built were any good you wouldn't have to change them every time you write a new application.
Few people could sensibly argue that mans journey to the moon was not one of mankind's most extraordinary achievments.
I was glued to my Grandma's old TV throughout. I will never forget it.
You say that it was a waste of money? I suppose all the money Leonardo da Vinci spent on paint was a waste too. If only he done something practical with it - like a spot of decorating.
There was a recent case where the Argos online shop mistakenly offered colour televisions for £3 each. A lot of people seemed intent on making them honour their deal. Their defense that it was clearly an error and they didn't confirm any orders would not apply in Apple's case.
It is just what you are used to. It has been so long now since they stopped giving the temperature in Fahrenheit in UK weather reports that I no longer have any grasp of what 90 degrees Farenheit would feel like.
Oh, I don't know. I was having fun with: http://www.amused.com/fish.html on my Solaris box at work today and didn't realise it was using Flash until I right-clicked. Assumed it was Java...

Also, as the United States prison system has grown (we've got the largest percentage of lawyers and prisoners in the world) it also has been increasingly commercialized.
Kind of ironic that the "Land of the Free" is the country with the highest percentage of its population in jail;-)

If you don't like it don't use it. You have that choice.
There are plenty of Linux distributors making money off the back of freely contributed software. The license explicitly allows them to do so.
I am pleasantly suprised at how good NS6 is. Only beta quality but not too far off being finished.
I look forward to seeing a Solaris version soon so I can use it at work.
I think you meant to say:
...we have the source it will never be finished."

Anyone who is dissatisfied with their file manager under Unix/Linux should check out FileRunner http://www.cd.chalmers.se/~hch/filerunner.html.
Among other things the fact that much of it is written in TCL makes it easy to hack customisations.
I use this all day at work.
Remember all the excitement when Netscape went Open Source? Well here I am after all this time still running 4.x.
If Star Office GPL gets bogged down the same way as Mozilla it will be years before we see a usable product.

Not in the United Kingdom.

It seems rather ironic that is called the "English" system when we English have been more or less metric for some time now.
I still drink pints and am six foot tall but when I arrive at work I deal solely in millimeters and microns...
I wouldn't say we don't have censorship in the United Kingdom.

Sex is heavily censored. You can't purchase images (moving or still) of erect penises "over the counter" here.
Not that I would really want to...it was just an example
In your opinion. I use Navigator 4.61 on Solaris all day (there are some web based applications central to my work) and it is fast and stable.
Both that version and the 4.08 standalone I use on my Windows 98 box at home give me no trouble at all.
