LibreOffice can not open any.docx documents with images in them correctly (I just double checked in the latest version of LibreOffice on kubuntu) the images are always positioned incorectly, etc. It also tends to crash when editing.docx documents.
Intrestingly MS Office 2010 can open all odt documents created in LibreOffice correctly (no incorrect formating), but will claim they are corrupted and 'fix' them first.
FYI your example doesn't violate causality, observing something before its effect is not the same as being able to interact with an event after it has occurred. ie. If I send you a message on ship saying that I'm leaving location X and then I travel to your location from location X on a supersonic jet I will arrive before you have observed me leaving, but that does not mean that you can stop my message or me from leaving.
But your argument is a logical fallacy, if I sent a message by carrier pigeon saying "I'm coming" and then jumped in an F15 and got there first I would not have violated causality (such a situation has been proven possible) even though you will 'observe' me leaving after I arrived. Upon my arrival you could send out a hawk and intercept the carrier pigeon, but you could not stop the pigeon from leaving because it left before I arrived.
If this is not the case, could someone please explain why?
The way the system is set up that would also require reimaging, (no executable that are not part of original image can be run on the laptops - IE plugins run installers which are executables)
The NSW Department of Education which uses google apps for all student email, has all of their win 7 laptops (one for each yr9+ student) locked on IE8, the only way to upgrade them to IE9 would be recall and re-image every single one. Considering the size of the laptop program is so large that Microsoft actually allowed a final version of win7 to be installed on them before its global launch you'd think google wouldn't want to alienate such a large customer?
Hm, its going to be fun in NSW government schools for a while when this happens, student email is provided by Google apps and currently the government issue laptops (all students in year9+ have them) are running IE 8, with the only way to upgrade to recall and reimage all of the laptops (because they are so locked down). Many of the schools still have desktop computers running XP, because of this I doubt that google did look at a lot of metrics because creating that kind of issue for one of its largest Australian customers is probably not a good idea.
You might argue that American imperialism did not cause the riots, but you can not argue that American embassies where chosen at random. Those people died due to a combination of factors, including the (partially correct) view that America is responsible for their standard of living, the view that the West is intentionally insulting their religion (partially due to cultural misunderstandings), the actions of an American who intentional tried to provoke a riot (otherwise he would not have used an alias and disappeared off the face of planet) and yes a minority group of religious extremists insighting violence in their own countries as well.
In this case intent is very important, the intent of this video was to offend people and to cause riots. The person who posted it new dam well what the result would be and that is most likely why he did. In this case he is responsible for the deaths that occurred, not solely responsible, but defiantly responsible. And he knows this otherwise he would not have apparently disappeared off the face of the planet.
No, but there is a lot of anger in the Middle East against the US and the West and this was just the pin that popped the balloon it would have popped anyway because the US is doing nothing about their bad PR. Many people in the Middle East see the US as responsible for their current living conditions, (something which may or may not be true), but the cultural differences also cause misunderstanding of intent, which has caused many Muslims in those countries to feel the West is deliberately attacking their culture. (The SMH had an article on this a while back, after the most recent spate of 'green on blue' killings.)
Whilst you example is valid, it also includes other things which are a bit more contriversial, such as what is interpreted as 'terorist publications', as supposed to religouse or political publications, etc.
Australia does have a constitution, but it does not specify free speach. However the constitution does specifiy the right to democratic elections and the High Court has rulled that this means political speach can't be censored.
Australians are free, within the bounds of the law, to say or write what we think privately or publicly, about the government, or about any topic. We do not censor the media and may criticise the government without fear of arrest. Free speech comes from facts, not rumours, and the intention must be constructive, not to do harm. There are laws to protect a person's good name and integrity against false information. There are laws against saying or writing things to incite hatred against others because of their culture, ethnicity or background. Freedom of speech is not an excuse to harm others.
Some very intresting wording on that site... what we do have is constituationally protected speach with regard to politics as the High Court rulled that the constitutions' guarentee of democratic elections cover this.
tl;dr: political trolls will be fine or will have some very intresting court battles, its already illegal for most other forms of trolling
Unless its related to politics which is apparently covered under the constitutional right to democractic elections... Ironicaly many trolls would be able to claim their speach is political, I'm sure that this could end up with some very intresting court battles.
Um, iiNet is currently offering plans of up to 100Mbps because it was always being rolled out at 100Mbps. Although at one point they where considering 1Gbps.
It's being rolled out as we speak (the purple bubles are working instalations) and it would be very hard for Abott (and lets pray he dosen't get in) to cancel it now that all the deals have been done with Telstra, etc and work has commenced.
Yeah, but anything written or referring to events per-Israel was most likely oral tradition and defiantly wouldn't have been written in recognizable Hebrew.
Yeah, but we are selling raw Uranium, we don't (although we should) have a nuclear enrichment program on that scale. (We do some nuclear enrichment, but I don't think its Uranium and its only for medical puposes. )
Which distributions are you using which let you install from the repositories without being root, because the ones you listed require you to be root? The GP wants to install as his own user without root privileges and is saying there is no way to do that.

From TFA I got the impression this was a unity only 'feature', hopefully kubuntu won't be effected.
Does it work with multiple montiors, because Gnome shell does not. Personally I use kubuntu, hopefully they won't be including adds in that as well.

I wasn't saying it was a good thing, but that is how it is setup at most public schools at the moment.
At home or on the schools desktops
It can install normal windows updates and virus updates, but not updates like IE and no executable.
The way the system is set up that would also require reimaging, (no executable that are not part of original image can be run on the laptops - IE plugins run installers which are executables)
