Also, I kind of hate Leslie and Don a little for giving us that awful capitalization scheme when talking about their projects.
Not sure what you are talking about, but perhaps it is solved with these lines at your preamble:
\lhead{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}
\rhead{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}
or, if you use fancy headings
\fancyhead[el,or]{\fancyplain{}{\sl\nouppercase{\rightmark}}}
\fancyhead[er,ol]{\fancyplain{}{\sl\nouppercase{\leftmark}}}
I agree LyX has problems with version compatibility. Some small changes are sometimes required to "upgrade" your old.lyx document.
Personally I'd like to see a click-editable one-pane LaTeX editor with dual mode view for source view (even if the live rendering isn't perfect, eg LyX, it's good enough).
Perhaps, Texmacs would do for you? Note also, that current versions of LyX show you the LaTeX code live.
It has a great start, but LyX needs tons of polish before it's anywhere close to achieving its full potential.
While I agree, I just want to point that LyX has improved very much during the last years.
Yeah, insightful, I agree. However, let me point that people are supposed to be not-guilty until demonstrated otherwise. Of course, in practice, having non-guilty evidences is very important.
I loved the way the old StarOffice behaved: a toolbar wich adapts to whatever you are doing at that moment. I saw this concept previously at CorelDraw if I recall correctly. Inkscape does also the same. In old StarOffice, it had the problem that sometimes you had several available toolbars active to switch among with an arrow button (that was not nice). Inkscape is almost doing what in my opinion a GUI for that kind of app should do:
1. Several global-use toolbars.
2. One specific-use adaptable toolbar.
3. Dockable dialogs (see Inkscape path/fill properties), for complex and repetitive tasks.
4. Menus for the following reasons: backup of tool-bar options, hierarchical organization, optimal space use, easy keyboard navigation and keyboard shortcuts reminder.
(Inkscape just fails a bit since some dialogs are not dockable yet, but does scroll-docking, side-by-side docking and tabbed docking).
I've never used ribbon thing but, correct me if I'm wrong, they are placed on the top zone, which is not a god thing nowadays monitors tend to be landscape proportions, specially for text-editing. Dockable dialogs are nice in this sense.
"Also," means "besides":
I'm not talking about how to enable dual screens, which is trivial with nvidia-settings (nvidia-drivers, as stated by parent) or with gnome-display-properties (plain xorg drivers).
That is limited to music and films, under the right of private copy, in the same sense that you can share your CDs with your friends -as far as you don't make profit from it-.
You cannot download privative software legally from P2P or whatever (note that you cannot share that software with your friends either).
Further, LyX has keep improving from release to release. Nowadays, LyX 1.6.x is a Killer App:
Handles subdocuments so smartly: you can enable the outline and navigate through the outline no matter where the section actually is.
Automatically transforms any kind of figures to whatever (pdf)LaTex needs. You can use alpha-chanel png directly and you get blended figures at Beamer presentations.
New "MDI" is just what you want: be able to split the window and see different documents at the same time and popup newer windows if you wish.
The only caveat is that spellchecking must be done for each subdocument independently... I'm sure they are working on this...
LyX's approach is IMHO great -WYSIWYM.
Also, the fact of being able to include LaTeX commands directly is a good thing.
Also, 2.3 Text antialiasing and other GUI operations are software rendered by GUI libraries (GTK->Cairo/QT->Xft).
Which use hardware acceleration through X-render extension as far as drivers implement it. 2.5 No double buffering.
This one is funny. Often, people claim GTK is slow (see 2.2). GTK seems slow because is fully double-buffered. GTK never ever flickers, it may lag though. If your machine is fast enough, you will feel GTK fast and again, will never flicker. QT 3.x does some double-buffering/single-buffering so it feels typically faster but sometimes flickers. QT 4.x perhaps is doing full double-buffering, I'm not sure.
The article is a mess. There are many reasons why Linux does not become mainstream, certanly. But a similar list could be made out of Windows or OS-X, by mixing old-time already solved problems, incorrect assertions and some painful truths.
Seems like the particular extreme (cold) is ideal for [...]
raising the thermodynamical efficiency of a thermal machine, which at the end a nuclear plant is.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics (Lisa, we obey that one) tells us that in the best of cases, the efficiency is limited to:
1-Theat/Tcold
where Theat is the average temperature achieved at the thermal machine, and
Tcold is the ambient temperature.
There exist three ways to raise thermal efficiency:
1) Increase the machine functional temperature (this is why thermal engines are so hot). This is limited to materials technology, cooling systems,...
2) Lower the ambient temp. This is why nuclear plants are placed close to a river, but also one of the reasons why airplanes fly so high. You are typically limited here, but in this case seems that it is what they are trying to use.
3) Increase your efficiency as a deviation from the ideal one (1-Theat/Tcold): improve your thermodynamic cycle, improve your thermodynamic components efficiency (turbines), improve your cooling processes (so you can higher Theat without deviate too much from the ideal efficiency).

It's no matter of output. It's matter of efficiency.
In fluids, there is a thing called "Reynolds number" which compares the convective forces (from where you can extract power in this case) and the viscous forces (the bad guys which lower efficiency). This number is roughly:
rho*V*L/mu,
where:
rho is the fluid density (the air density in this case)
V is the characteristic speed of the motion (the wind speed in this case)
L is the characteristic length of the motion (the windmill radius in this case)
mu is the fluid viscosity (depends on the temperature)
As a result, a windmill twice as bigger, is more efficient than two smaller counterparts.
In aerodynamics/fluid mechanics: size matters! (that is why we tend to construct larger airplanes whenever is possible -they will fly full of people-, larger boats, larger windmills,...).

I'm sure there are windowed versions, but this works perfectly for me.
gnome-display-properties
Also, you can add a gnome-panel and drag it to second screen (press ALT and drag and drop it), and then place a window list applet to it: from that moment, each panel shows only the windows residing at that monitor.
Compiz also is pretty well aware of the screens, so you can do scale ("exposé") to only one of the monitors if you wish.
