Slashdot Mirror

I mentioned it years ago in my fiction book:

"While he held his finger back on the key, he
tapped a password into his portable using a
distinct rhythm."

It also combined a "deadman's" switch program.

I have written over 150,000 words in OpenOffice Writer on both Windows and Linux. The windows port has not crashed in years. It's more than stable enough for production work. Both the Oasis file format and the old writer formats are zip compressed XML, which allowed me to save all 1,500 versions of my book from the day I started on it--to its revisions. An entire 100,000 word book weighs only 242KB whereas the Microsoft word version is 697KB. My pet peeves are: I hate quickstarters, and I want the quickstarter in OpenOffice removed from the project. The program starting(desktop) icons are poor glyphs. The questions is: Now that Sun is blowing MS, how do we keep Sun from sabotaging OpenOffice? http://www.brendamake.com/numbers/

A year or two ago, I wrote a Sci-Fi eBook describing things like this. I wished that it was just all fiction.

A line in the book reads similar to the Slashdot article:

General Curtis took a deep breath. "I want to forge an official detachment dealing with cyber-crime actions abroad."

The validation that I feel is overwhelmed by the specter of horrific consequences of the treaty.

Just, a bit of unabashed on-topic self-promotion....
