In my many years of using OpenOffice, and now ~6 months of using LibreOffice, since the first beta came out, I have never had any problem with converting to and from.doc.
Wow, I had no idea it was like that! Maybe it's because I'm a hermit, but I hardly ever see anybody with a PSP? You'd think 67 million units would be easy to spot:D
Haha, I figured you'd be pointing to some article about how to get internet to other planets...So I guess I was mildly surprized at what you where actually linking to:)
On an entirely related subject: could you get reasonable (albeit high latency) internet on Mars? and come to think of it, how long would it realistically take for one package to be sent back and forth?
This should be a one-line fix to their existing systems to enable IE8 legacy/quirks mode. Then perhaps a couple of days weeding out the odd bug that pops up.
Actually people should continue making shitty file sharing services and basing them in the US. That way the *IAA's of this world can feel like they're winning even as they are completely unable to do anything about torrent.
...And while you're at it, make those programs easier to use than torrent, so all the newbies make them popular and it seems like BIG NEWS when one gets whacked on the head with a hammer!
Wow, that's really beginners material! But really, if javascript isn't your first language, then you shouldn't try to learn it from a book, as most of what you see will be reduntant information.
I remember learning javascript and html from a book about 10 years ago...the html book told me to use tables for layout, which I soon thereafter found out was stupid, and the javascript book was full of stuff that is "bad practice" - for example lines where NOT ended with a semicolon.
BTW, does previewing of/. comments take 5-10 seconds for everybody?
In Denmark we have towns called "Balle" which translates to "ass cheek", "Lem" which translates to "limb" but usually (read: always) referes to the penis, "Sæd" which means semen, "Balle"'s cousin "Bredballe" which means "wide ass cheek". Oh and "Bøsserup" which is "Gay-chester" (Bøsse being gay, and "-rup" being a generic ending for a town like the English -chester.
All in a very small country - you would think they did it on purpose:-)
I was merely making a very obscure reference/parallel to the anime Ghost in the Shell;).
That having been said, how long from that service appears till a company creates an application where you can access your life-data from anywhere, and how long till facebook starts asking you for permission to look at your life-stream, and perhaps let you share/use that data for all sorts of things. (this would constitute "in the cloud", wouldn't it?)
Privacy is obviously a concern for you and me, but lots of people really don't care - evident by facebook's raging success. This could easily be reality once the technology is there in my oppinion.

Exactly what I thought, but TFA suggests/hints at the possibility of the data not being stored locally.
So not only do you get to have your life recorded, but your life is stored in the cloud! Fantastic isn't it??
Hehe, I can very much relate to this...I never liked maths in highschool...
Didn't really like it much in college (UK definition) either, though I guess I didn't hate it.
Kinda odd that I'm now at University doing math...but I'm happy about it all the same, and amazed they managed to keep maths boring for all those years ^_^

It does say "10GB of personal documents". But yea, i guess they mean 10GB of files in my documents...
Is it only me who finds this a bit insane? 10GB - that enough to store an entire library!
Lol, I read that as "She might like math too!" :D
Haha, so true :D
I found this incredibly annoying, and confusing during Avatar...I was practically confused for the first 30 minutes because of it!

Denmark has this too (or at least something that resembles it pretty closely).
That having been said, we have 25% VAT. So no surprizes there.

Ouch, not worth it I guess :) Or I guess whether or not it is worth it really depends on whether or not there is a willing female astronaut ^_^

It really shouldnt be a big upgrade.
Lawyers understand it better that way ;-)

Big agree there, I really don't understand why even the draft phases of a law would be kept secret from the citizens it is intended to be applied to.

Lol, same. I doubt my "homebrew computer" will ever have its "other OS" option removed ^_^
Granted it looks cool, and I too want one :D
Of the top of my heads, here are some problems
The energy needed to power it might be rather big (20Hz spinning of a 40 inch mirror?)
Things aren't filmed in 360 degree, so some angles will probably be useless for most videos.
Who wants to sit BEHIND the action? People will only use one side as they always have.
torrents...download?
Surely you are torrenting the files But the files themselves are just downloading.

I could see this being useful for Model-View-Controller type applications (dunno whether that's used in Java).
It would be cool to use your screen real estate to automatically open the view and model belonging to the controller you're coding.
I agree.
This article seems like pseudo-science to me, and I somehow doubt (or should I say don't believe) they got true randomness from conventional hardware.
