They are right. WYSIWYG sucks for document editing.
If you don't want to learn LaTeX, use Lyx (WYSIWYM). (If you use Ubuntu, beware: Lyx package is outdated (at least it was two days ago), install qt4-dev and compile the new version.)
Minimalist? Are you kidding me? An image viewer is supposed to view images, period. Try http://www.klografx.net/qiv/index2.html, the Quick Image Viewer. It has no GUI, only a little optional OSD status line (toggle with the 'i' key).
If you have to design both the hardware and the software, it's going to be expensive. Not to say untested. And with the probes being where they are, it's not like you get a second chance if there's a bug. Things have to work perfectly, every time. So, you better start it now, while we have a working model to compare. Run it in parallel to the actual hardware to compare results, and you have all the rest of the life of the current equipment to test and perfect the new one.
I mean, Linux, and the Unixy concepts that underlie many of its basic assumptions, are quite solid. I'm not saying that they don't have a lot of life left in them. But do we really want to be using them from now until the end of time? Until the end of time, or at least until someone came up with something better.

C++ is a freak of programming languages. It has grown like cancer, much like HTML. If you wanted to add OO features to C, I think a simplistic approach like Perl's would be better.
You can do this in a GUI of course - sort by date, scroll to the start of the range, hold down shift and use the arrow keys or PgUp, PgDn to select. Takes more time, and is more error prone, specially with thousands of messages in a mailbox, which is very common at least around here.
Ok, I see what you mean. If you're a mail admin then this sort of thing is useful. But for regular users, not so much. That's why I said in my original post that I use Mutt on the server, and Gmail/Thunderbird for my personal email.
It's more low-level and command-line oriented, while still having a nice graphical (ncurses) user interface. It can: - Open any mailbox from any user on the server (as root, of course) without having to configure an email account; - Easily select all emails from a date range with a simple command line (T~d dd/mm/yyyy-dd/mm/yyyy); - Open and edit any part of the email, including attachments; - Reply, forward or bounce multiple messages at once.
The only one thing I don't like about rtorrent it's that it will hash all the files at every startup. It's very annoying to have your hard disk trashing for some minutes every time I boot up.
IMO, it's main strength is the simplicity for the user. An issue tracker is no good if nobody will use. I saw it many times: the IT department decides for a tool, install it, teaches everybody how to use it, and how important it is, but in the end nobody uses the tool. Trac interface is simple and nice, it does just what it has to do. Trac does not get in your way and feel like a burden.

With the body rotating like that on each step, it's no use for bringing me beer.
The Ubuntu numbers are the year and month of release. .04 or .10
The release is every six months, so the second number is always
Do you really think non-geeks report bugs? If one does, it will not be the kind of person who minds a strange codename.
The user who is outside the geek circles will hear "Ubuntu 7.10".
"Gutsy Gibbon" is just a code-name, just like "Longhorn".
yay!, thanks.
Welcome the next!
Yeah, that's really a waste.
"FR1sT POOST!" is much more constructive.

No, OO Writer is not an option. WYSIWYG sucks for document editing. Keep sane: stick with Lyx.

If I had mod points, I would vote him down for stealing my joke!
So, the cat isn't dead after all!
Better use "throw NoSignatureException()", and catch by reference.
This way you don't have to worry about deleting the exception object.
a-men!
Haskell is a wonderful language, but it's another completely different paradigm, it's not to replace C++.
D is, it's C++ done right.

Thanks, man!
That, added to the recent addition of XMLRPC, makes rtorrent just perfect.

I still use mutt on the server I admin.
It's a tremendously powerful email client, no other comes even close.
For personal email I use Gmail or Thunderbird, thought.
One more vote for Trac.

Please, don't say "PC" when you're referring to a Windows machine.
PCs can run other systems too, you insensitive clod.
