  1. Re:Wasn't the OO / LO split over java? on Don't Expect an OpenOffice/LibreOffice Merger · · Score: 1

    It does if the dependency issue still exists. I don't know why Java isn't dumped for something like Python..

    Not so. Negative mods attract attention also. This is why I suspect they removed the descriptors from the first time a comment gets modded. Since ACs can only get modded down once, it helps to make it go unnoticed.

    64gb usb sticks cost around 90 bucks.. and it's re-writable.. The recording device, you probably already have.. In fact, you're using it right now.. How 'bout you get with the times, kiddo?

    You not kidding. The GP is completely unaware of the professional/industrial market. DRM killed them in the consumer market (not really.. they still hold a good share of the market), which is such a tiny token as to be nonexistent to them.

    Blu-ray is dumb.. SSDs will be cheaply disposable soon. All this monkey motion with mechanical drives is so primitive. The lack of progress in pricing is intentional. A computer is much cheaper to produce than a VCR

    This style of attack is much more credible, and in my opinion, likely.

    And if that doesn't work, there's always the nuclear option - a tax audit

    ...minimum wage laws (yes, even that), and all the social obligations that destroy jobs.

    Nice attempt at scapegoating... The economic incentives that drove jobs overseas were the tax policies that simply made it cheaper. The government actually pushed them out with its NAFTAs and so on.

    Investor fear, panic, and loathing are fundamental motivators in commodity markets, and should most definitely be taken into account, and exploited to the maximum extent possible. If you can't use the fear that's already there, you must create some. Everybody likes to pretend it's statistics and some formulaic theories that drive the market. It's not. The people who make money are the ones who understand the raw emotional element and know how to use it. They make better psychologists than the licensed ones.

    The Lack of VB macros in calc is also a killer reason not to use them.

    Can't you just put a bunch of formulas into the cell(s)? Here again, I find the basic adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing (square root is nice) more than sufficient. A calculator with lots of memory, not a database that hogs lots of memory
