I totally agree with this the points and have made the same experiences
with pair programming, although if there is a big difference of
knowledge its sometimes hard to do. As Dmitry mentioned.

I have experiences with pair programming and DPP as well. One big
advantage in DPP against PP is that both (or even more) can type in the
same document. I know people using Saros for DPP and sitting in the same
room, just for this concurrent editing.
Normally we suggest to use VoIP for communication. Mumble is the
recommended but tools like Skype can do as well.
I think this would be the normal case in Open Source Projects, since you
   don't have the possibility to sit in the same room, right?
