I am pretty sure this is a different bug. It bogs down whole system for a very long time, not just the browser for some seconds. I was hit by it, too, on Ubuntu, but I applied the suggested workaround and that fixed it.
I hear you brother. Gimme back a freakin' option to have the URL bar behave as it did in FF2. No, oldbar does not cut it.
And even if I were to get used to the new behavior, Awesomebar is dog slow. Quite often when I type one or two letters into it, it starts thrashing the HD and hangs for about 10 secs, not allowing me to do anything such as type some more letters. Mighty annoying.
I would love if somebody revived the excellent but long-abandoned Metatheme project (http://www.metatheme.org/). Back when I tried it, even unfinished, it provided truly unified look for GTK and Qt and had basics for Java theming. Maybe Canonical or Trolltech or somebody else could sponsor that work, possibly approaching its original author...
Eve cannot read the stream because 0s and 1s are sent, shall we say, in two coordinate systems (bases) randomly chosen by Alice. The receiver, be it Bob or Eve, cannot in principle measure these basis, only guess them (randomly). If you guess right, you correctly receive 0 or 1. If you guess wrong, you receive garbage. After the transmission Alice and Bob tell each other (over a classical channel) the bases they chose for each bit, and they discard the bits for which they chose different bases. Then they check (and discard) some subset of bits for discrepancies. If Eve was measuring the stream during the transmission, she would inevitably introduce errors by wrongly guessing some bases. Therefore, if error rate is higher than a certain threshold, Alice and Bob conclude that their communication was eavesdropped and discard the transmission altogether.
Then there's the separate question of Eve messing with the classical communication between Alice and Bob, but AFAIK it has also been successfully dealt with.
Just downloaded the beta to check what has changed since I last tried OOo. Not much as far as I can see.
1) Bullet/numbered lists. - Still cannot quickly (one mouse drag) change spacing between the text and its bullet/number. Something I can do in Abiword. - "Clear formatting" does not clear the bullet/number.
2) Still no Normal mode.
3) Keyboard Shortcuts - Still limited shortcut selection. - Still assign a shortcut to a special character without recording a macro.
4) The new notes implementation is actually a step back. - Word compatibility hasn't improved here. You cannot collaborate with people using Word when they use notes. Even if you don't change their notes, not all content is preserved. - Now I can only see a note on a special page margin, instead of having it as a special markup in text with an option to read it on demand. Moreover, this margin increases with text zoom in Web Layout mode (WTF?)! - Still cannot assign a note to a range of text.
5) Still cannot search and replace text with a specific named style.
And all of this is only after a cursory look, there is probably much more.
Interesting... But IIRC Red Hat prohibited CentOS from mentioning the Red Hat trademark on their site and in their products, though they weren't trying to represent CentOS as a Red Hat product - merely a product based on the latter.
No. If Google is found to be violating any laws, then it will have to correct the violation. But if the said laws themselves are evil, then by correcting the violation, Google commits an evil act, even if it does so under compulsion.
One company spends a fortune building a brand image and is so successful that it is *their* product's name that is the first thing you think of when you think of the generic product, and yet you think it's ok to use produce results for their competitors too?
Except Google does nothing of the kind. It does not use or facilitate use of trademarks as generic terms. It just brings up additional trademarks when you search for one.
In Russian, "kseroks" is vastly more popular as a general term than "kopir." There is a verb "kserit'" which means "to copy on a copier":-) There is even an adjective "kserokopirovalny" meaning "related to copying on a copier."
Mod parent up. The right to profit from any use of a trademark other than representing one's own goods is an artificial right hampering competition. Everybody should be able to use others' trademarks for statements such as "similar to $TM", "better than $TM", "works with $TM" and so on, provided the statements are true.
Please go fuck yourself. It's you who is anti-Russian here. You know why? Because when somebody says something bad about Putin or Russian government or newly enacted Russian laws, trolls like you pop up and say "you're all against Russia", EQUATING Putin/the government/the laws with Russia and thus INSULTING RUSSIA. My country - or shall I say "this country" to make you extra mad - deserves something better than these. And better than you, of course.
Yes my packets should have the same priority as someone who is watching a YouTube video, subject to the bandwidth that was advertised to me and that I have paid for.
This is not my experience. On me Celeron 2.6 Ghz with 512M RAM, Firefox and Thunderbird are snappier under Ubuntu Hardy than under XP (the launch takes about he same time or slightly less). Then again, I haven't reinstalled XP for ages and don't have much free space on Windows partitions, so on a fresh install it might be different.
It's lovely how this bullshit page is constantly brought up by OOXMLers. Now go read these proposed dispositions. No you can't. They are password protected. Even at this stage when OOXML is standardized. Now this is a truly open standard and process.
And BTW, a full text of OOXML with all corrections made to date doesn't even seem to exist.
In my fairly limited understanding of evolution theory, the features that help to survive are retained through the natural selection. Regeneration ability seems to help to survive - why would it be lost then? Could it be that the time required to naturally regenerate was so long that the animal weakened by the injury died anyway by natural (lack of food and/or water access, climatic factors) or violent (predators) death?

Yes, because GTK+ file dialog lacks functionality. Speaking as somebody who prefers Gnome and GTK+.

No different than the Gator advertising
Completely different. Google displays ads on its own search pages.

Depends of what you mean by "sending." If there are Microsoft ads next to the search results for Linux, it's perfectly fine by me.
One company spends a fortune building a brand image and is so successful that it is *their* product's name that is the first thing you think of when you think of the generic product, and yet you think it's ok to use produce results for their competitors too?
Yes.
There's a difference between illegal and evil, you know.

...and the you come here and whine about those who whine about whiners. Whiner!
The WiFi story was bogus, and it was found out soon after it appeared at fontanka.ru. This one seems to be real.
Please go fuck yourself. It's you who is anti-Russian here. You know why?

No. You cannot subtract something that has never been there.

OTOH, more yes women would be welcome.

others have already implemented OOXML
Who would that be? Surely not MS, because Office 2007 formats are not OOXML.
Thanks for playing.
