Are the "standard" political categories a little too simplistic?
I mean, if Federal Program X comes into being, conservatives are going to automatically be in favor of "conserving" it, just because their programming is to conserve anything and everything?
And progressives are going to always want to change the status quo, doesn't matter what the change is, they just hate the status quo, even if that status is the one they were pushing for just a few minutes ago?
Yeah, you won't do too well using Libre in an M$ shop, but that's not really recommended.
What you should really do is, when you're setting up you're own company, use OpenOffice from the beginning. The big thing about problem comes with compatibility, so just pick one and use it.
Have you used macros on both Excel (VBA) and OpenOffice?
OpenOffice is simply not more advance (let alone 8 orders) than VBA.
If anything, it's pathetically behind VBA. Among other things, you don't get an editor in which you can enter a dot (.) and then get a list of the constituent objects/properties of a given object (i.e., Intellisense). You might dismiss this as unnecessary, but I'll ask you: do you have all the objects and properties (including ordinal numbers and spellings) all memorized? If you're keeping track of the objects in your head, what's the computer for? If you're as good as a computer, you might as well execute the program in your head and get the answers that way.
I'll assume that you have some job other than OpenOffice macro programming which requires you keep a lot of stuff in your head. Why would you want to displace that domain knowledge with the OpenOffice object model?
The reason OpenOffice can't give you Intellisense-style code-completion is that the entire object model (UNO-Universal Network Objects) is dynamic, and you don't know what's in the hierarchy until you run the program. This is not what's desired in a office program.
FYI, I'm saying all this as someone who uses Open/LibreOffice exclusively, having left M$Office behind because of the proprietary road it was going on. But that doesn't mean I'm going to pretend OO macros are more advanced than MSO.
If you just need to sum up some figures, but need a little more processing, why would you create a entire separate "real program" (C, I imagine, or is that too high level?) when all you need to do is create a simple macro inside the spreadsheet itself?
Also, your reply didn't address the specific claim made: that VBA is better documented and easier to develop for. Do you doubt that?
Well, you could do what you do right now for your home office:
1) estimate 2) install a sub-meter and keep track of the kilowatt hours that way. 3) have another electrical connection installed 4) if you have a non-home-based office, then just charge your car at work
I think the way you're arguing, school districts could just sell all the schools, fire the teachers, and just buy every kid an iPad with a subscription to Siri, and be done with it.
The point was a majority of people who happened to vote in some panel at an IAU conference decided Pluto isn't a planet. Given that, why get worked up over the name of a moon of a plutoid, one among many?
Of course, who could oppose using hundreds of drones to hunt down a cop-killer.
And the next suggestion will be, "Wouldn't it be a good idea for the drones to be able to fire, too?" So the next thing you know, you've got weaponized drones.
And after a decade or so, they won't be used to find mass murderers. Merely traffic offenders or people late on their alimony.
You might not be able to imagine it, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.
HP had the "card" metaphor where each app was like a playing card which you just swiped aside. IMHO that was the best multitasking interface for mobile devices.
And it was easy for normal people to learn and remember (discoverability).
No comments on the ads, but as for fist-bump transfer:
That's handy like crazy.
Otherwise, what do you propose:
1) Send the file via email? First enter in the guy's email. Then the file goes via possibly slow Internet to the cell company's servers, then to your friend's email servers, then to your friend's cell provider, and then to your friend. Both you and the other guy pay mad coin for the wireless Internet usage. And your GB allowance gets used up fast if it's a media file you're transferring.
2) Send via Wifi. Don't know how that's supposed to work. If you're in a totally free wifi zone, you and the other guy get a dymamic IP address. Which both of you need to figure out. Then what? FTP to the other guy's address? SFTP? Samba? Nuts.
3) Share via a microSD card. Copy onto card, then remove and insert card, copy onto device, then remove the card again. Oh, by the way, you did remember to pack a blank microSD card just for file transfers before you left home, right?
4) Bump and transfer.
There are all sorts of places you can use it. For friends. People you just met (exchange vCards). Business associates. Customers.
Of course, people won't believe it's useful until Apple "invents" it.
Yeah. "Illegal hotel" suggests some seedy rickety building housing 3x the number of people it really should. Knock yourself out banning those, municipal authorities.
Now, on to airbnb: Just renting out your couch for the night should in no way be conflated with an "illegal hotel". For one thing, you're just renting out the place you yourself live in. It's a great thing, a great way to meet people (on both sides), and some money exchanges hands. A very productive use of the web.
Leave it to reactionary bureaucrats to ruin it all.
You want to say both 1) There is a huge shortage in affordable housing in Amsterdam and 2) Having unlicensed hotels and hostels [is]... unfair competition.
??
#2 is increasing the supply of housing, thereby alleviating the shortfall in #1.
There seems to be a problem in that I don't necessarily disagree with much of what you said above.
However, again, there already is an NAF. But we were talking about artists who want more money for music which both 1) people don't want to listen to, and 2) NAF administrators didn't find sufficiently meritorious to deserve a grant.
If both #1 and #2 are true, I can't see why that music doesn't deserve to wither.
Where you go wrong is thinking that libertarians are proposing solutions. They're not. They are proposing moral principles.
Those principles have a place regardless of whether they create "solutions" or not.
For example, let's take a civil libertarian who favors free speech. Now let's take a "moderate". The moderate will say that the libertarian's policies result in chaos: people speaking/writing all sorts of stuff, some inane, some possibly resulting in great harm (copycat killings). The moderate will cry out for "solutions". But the libertarian never proposed a policy to achieve a specific desired result.
That's not the point. The point is that free speech is a moral principle (according to the libertarian). As such, it doesn't matter what the results of free speech are. And you don't change the principle based on what people (individuals) are doing with their freedom.
Similarly, the libertarian would say you don't change the principle of the freedom to work and trade because you might disagree with the actions of some individuals in the marketplace.
By suckers, I believe you mean that Republicans aren't voting to help themselves to the money of those people who have more of it than they do.
Does this theory only work when you're going to be on the receiving end? I.e., socking it to the rich? Let's expand the pool of suckers to the entire world, including Africa. Now, you're part of the rich. Of course, you'll be sharing your money all around, right? Or do leftists lose their moral principles when they're in the oppressor class?
Slashdot Mirror
Well, Broder claims his hands were white and his feet freezing.
Yet, at no point does the set temperature go below 64 Deg F. The recommended set temperature for winter is 68.
This in itself damages his entire credibility.
Your feet start freezing at 64 F?

The top model is $87,400. That's mass market for luxury cars (niche luxury car would be a Bentley).
The starter model is $52,400. That's in reach of upper middle class buyers (lawyers, doctors, businessmen, etc.)

When you say "at the office", you mean in the parking lot, right?
And I also assume there are only certain (a few) parking spaces that have the electrical boxes jutting up for you to use?
And are those spaces also closest to the building (makes sense, because that's where the power is)?
So those are exactly the ones more likely to be taken up?
What do you do when you come to work and your electric parking spot is taken up?
Yeah, you won't do too well using Libre in an M$ shop, but that's not really recommended.
What you should really do is, when you're setting up you're own company, use OpenOffice from the beginning. The big thing about problem comes with compatibility, so just pick one and use it.
No. Sorry. It's not.

Most corps these days don't pay out dividends.
At 51% they already controlled NBC.
So why spend billions just to buy the rest?
Um, maybe because now there's a open source alternative to Flash for interactive Web applications? Yeah, Javascript.
But why not have more options? Use as desired.
I'm as disappointed in the Java security situation as anybody else, but the Slashdot knee-jerk anti-Java reaction is kind of dumb.
That's not a bad idea.
But I don't know about sending the bill back.
If I were the NYTimes, I wouldn't run the ad (or any ad) without payment in advance.

Is installation of cameras just plug and play? I've heard that you have to mess around with baluns. Is that right?
Also, what cameras to get? IR? Dome cameras or bullet? What mm should they be? How do you know?
What about viewing over the Internet? Also, how easy is it to hack them? Any additional security recommended?
How far should the low-voltage camera lines be from medium voltage (120 and 220 volt) lines to not cause interference?
This one's hard to figure out ... If the businesses failed, the camps will still be there on the face of this Earth, right?
