UG/NX is also for Linux and Mac. The Linux version is only said to be supported on Suse Linux, but I think with some tweaking you should manage to run it on any Linux flavor. All though the Mac and Linux versions doesn't look as polished as the Windows version, both Mac and Linux versions are full featured UG/NX software.
NX on Wikipedia
Also ProE seems to have a UNIX version, according to wikipedia.

Submission + - FBI Monitoring Facebook (bbc.co.uk) 2
An anonymous reader writes: The BBC reports that armed police were called to a UK school earlier today after being advised of a potential threat by the FBI. The school stated that the FBI "raised the alarm after internet scanning software picked up a suspicious combination of words", strongly implying that they are carrying out routine, automated surveillance of social networking sites. While in this case it does appear that there may have been a genuine threat, the story nonetheless raises significant privacy concerns.
Submission + - IEEE working group considers kinder, gentler DRM (arstechnica.com)
slave5tom writes: IEEE working group is trying to put the genie back in the bottle. Their scheme will allow unlimited copying of encrypted content, which will require a playkey to activate. Trying to add a cost by making the playkey "rivalrous" (what you take I lose) and rescuing the big content palyers from the brink of oblivion does seem futile, however it is entertaining watching them fight the inevitable.

If they forked the OpenOffice code, where is the source code?
Or do I miss something here? Isn't OpenOffice GPL.

You're of course right about the UI vs. UI toolkit thing.
But AFAIK Symbian^3 uses Qt as UI toolkit, and the new Nokia N8 will use Symbian^3. Isn't that a "serious go of it"? If the name is the only thing it has in common with the desktop toolkit, I'm not the right person to answer.

Actually, even if Firefox kept an encrypted store of what DLLs it had told the user about, there really isn't any way to prevent a malicious program from simply replicating the code used to create the store, so it would be pretty hard to always notify the user.
Google update is initiated here on my system (it looks like it is intended to facilitate installing updates to Google software while using Firefox, I would be surprised if it was doing anything nefarious):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins
I guess the DRM plugins are loaded because Firefox treats the Windows Media Player directory as a plug-in directory, by default:
Comment 4. generation nuclear power plants (Score 1) 581
"100-300 times more energy yield from the same amount of nuclear fuel." - wikipedia
So in ca. 2030, when 4. generation nuclear power plants are commercial, we can use old nuclear fuel. And nuclear power will probably only get more and more efficient.
Submission + - SSL renegotiation attack becomes reality (theregister.co.uk)
rastos1 writes: A Turkish grad student has devised a serious, real-world attack on Twitter that targeted a recently discovered vulnerability in the SSL protocol. The exploit by Anil Kurmus is significant because it successfully targeted the so-called SSL renegotiation bug to steal Twitter login credentials that passed through encrypted data streams. All in all, a man in the middle is able to steal the credentials of a user authenticating himself through HTTPS to a trusted website.
