>OpenOffice.org developers have streamlined the code to improve upon the time taken to initially load the suite. Also, a progress bar has been added to the splash screen.
When you have a progress bar in the splah screen (or the boot/login screen), you are having problems.
Strictly follows means that window under mouse is always focused, in other words, you cannot use the keyboard to change focus at all (aside from warping the pointer, which IMO sucks since the physical mouse cannot be moved) This is the classic mwm, fvwm behavior.
A better way is to change the focus only when the mouse actually moves to another window. This allows you to use the keyboard normally.
I've always thought that a much more useful data would be a report of which physical (and swap) page belongs to which process (or file / shared library).
Does anyone know of a tool that would do this (and do it accurately)?

Most FPS players that want 3D positional audio use headphones anyway.
But 5.1 sound doesn't seem to be much of an improvement over 2.
I remember playing Quake 2 on normal headphones and it had great 3D sound.
Playing Quake3 and UT2... on "5.1" headphones (Zalman) doesn't seem to be much of an improvement
(it's possible that I just got used to it).
You are right. Many windows (MS) toolkits are designed not for use by programmers, but by wizard users.
.net/Mono is a waste of time for linux programmers.
That's why
The Wine-based Windows.Forms implementaion is especially a waste of time for linux users (maybe not for windows/wine users).
Gtk# is better.
I'm thinking of buying a LCD HDTV 1280x768 now.
The required interfaces: VGA + SCART (S-Video), DVI nice-to-have
I'm not buying any HDMI / HD-DVD crap until it's cracked and DRM-free.
>It won't display the same
That's great. I like the text to wrap and fonts to scale.
It wouldn't have to be FTL to be useful. Intertialess would be a good start.
It's also dangerous carrying them around, 'cause some might try to steal them.

(same goes for eye scans,
Yeah, I played Q2 and even Q3.
But on an analog phone ping is > ~150-200 which makes you a HPB by default.
On ISDN you can have ping 50-60 which is quite acceptable.
> gaming? out of the question
This is actually reasonably OK on ISDN lines in Europe (at least for Quake).
>Heck, I find it more enjoyable than actually having a joystick.
Seconded.

I'd complain more about XML Reference Schema. WTF is that???
Googling reveals the: Office 2003 XML Reference Schemas, a me-too equivalent to ODF (Open Document Format)

I have a T43P laptop with 2.13 GHz Pentium M cpu and as far as I am concerned that CPU is already overclocked.
The fan more or less never stops despite me setting the CPU speed to be adaptive even when plugged in.
I have a desktop AMD machine with 2 hard drives that is quieter than that.
I must say that I am slighly disappointed in the Pentium M.
About gtalk:
... should follow the same principle if at all possible.
That's their commercial/market decision.
Their technical decision is to use an open protocol so anyone
can write a working linux client. This is much more important.
Video store,
I don't doubt that this is true for the same drive.
But is it really true with mix'n'match drives?
In my (albeit small) experience, no (even with DVDs).
I just recently tested ~120 cds from about 1999-2002.
Attempting to read them with a DVD drive failed many discs.
But reading with a CD drive I was able to read all of them (after some cleaning) except two (most files were readable) that were scratched.
It seem there is some difference between DVD and CD drives.
Most CDs were burned with 2-8x speed, I almost never use >16x today.
Long-term WINE is a kludge. So is MONO using Wine. Even Mono using Wine implementation of Windows.Forms.
Kludge. Kludge. Kludge.
Either implement Windows.Forms in C# native (on top of X protocol) or just use GTK# (1000% better choice)
(if Mono is actually used by FC5 or GNOME, I'm ditching them now).
I agree.
Practical example: for me, watching F1 on DVB-S with deinterlacing at 25fps is
much worse than analog satellite TV.
Firefox is much simpler than Konqueror
(last I tried konq anyway)
Konqueror has the same problem as IE, it tries to be the file manager too but the two things are not exactly the same.
