Anybody know of a simple way to route some kinds of traffic (BitTorrent, podcast downloads from specified sites) to one interface (say eth1), and the rest to, e.g., eth0 ?
>Yes, we do. In many case it's called a chroot jail which acts as a sandbox. In other cases, a VM that can be rolled back is the way to go.
Yeah, but where do you get the authorization to buy a VM manager? And if you say, just download VirtualBox or something, if you're working in a place that thinks test servers are a waste, you're likely working in a place that will fire you for installing "unauthorized software" like VirtualBox.
Yeah, it's not about bashing OO from a Microsoft fanboi perspective. It's about recognizing the faults of the community offerings so they can be improved.
The stuff I said about macros is true for all the OO family, but more so for Calc because more people use macros with spreadsheets.
That said, Writer is just fine for most people. In fact, it's better for some uses than Word. I've written 200-page RFQ responses, and Word constantly (daily) crashes. While Word has character & paragraph styles, Writer also has page styles.
The overly-complicated macros prevent people from easily writing macros. Just turn on macro recording (Tools: Macro: Record), do something simple, and see what you get.
OO devs, how about a simple and easy macro system?
It's not just that, it's also that the one thing you cannot amend about the Constitution is to deprive it of its representation in the Senate without its consent. So, the largest 75% of the states can't take away the 2 Senate seats of the other 25%.
Granted, they could just do whatever they want to do, but there's a limit to what you can do in any given polity.
Article V provides that no amendment to the Consitution may deprive a state of its representation in the Senate (in which each state gets 2 Senators).
The 9th and 10th Amendments reserve all powers not granted to Congress to the States. While these could be overturned, the states have to ratify amendments.
> 2 the parties need to get party discipline and throw out the "nutters".
OK, this could happen without a constitutional change. But throwing a party member out just means he's out of the party, not out of Congress. He can join another party. And with the tight margins these days, parties usually suffer prima donnas.
> 3 have strict uk style election campaign limits
They tried that (McCain-Feingold). But it ran up against the 1st Amendment when the government argued that even publication of a book could be against campaign finance limits. In Citizens United, the Supreme Court ruled against limiting speech even the speakers were organized as a corporation.
> 4 replace the vast expenditure on tv campaigning with uk model of party political broadcasts.

See #1

I think this is already happening in that they form PACs (political action committees). But, true, they don't get explicit approval from union members or shareholders. Might be a good thing.
See, what's needed is Virus as a Service (VaaS). You don't a binary. You just specify your parameters, goals, etc. on a web form, and VaaS servers (bots) set to work.
Oh, it also incorporates the OpenStack cloud system.
Excel macros is, unfortunately, in a different category that the rest of the points you hit.
Excel has a really nice and easy language, object system, and interface (Intellisense). Just record a couple macros and you're halfway there towards learning the language/object model.
Not so for OO. In OO, when you record a macro, you get a lot of "dispatch" gobbledygook like createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
That, however, isn't used when hand-writing macros, and you don't get (and can't have) an Intellisense system, because the object system is too dynamic (==overengineered by Sun). And you're only apprised of errors after you run the code.
So you have to have a programmer just to write some simple accounting or estimation macros.

Redhat was hot back in the day when they used to take out full page ads in the Linux Journal of a guy in a trench coat in a red hat passing some briefcase off to another guy in a trench coat.
RHell seems to be known these days for an old and decrepit (in terms of RPMs available) enterprise version whose purpose is to be certified to run Oracle, and a perpetually broken testing vehicle named Fedora.
>The government cannot force corps. to give up materials without paying just compensation to the corps in the market value of the materials, due to the fifth amendment protections.
Well, but how can it force men to give up their lives?
I was only talking about the case in which there is a draft for people (there isn't now). There's also the 13th amendment (involuntary servitude) to worry about. But: -if men can be forced to give their lives (not necessarily saying they *should*), -then corporations should/would too
Since the life of a corporation is its property, that's what it would give. (The other option would be board members and corporate officers.)
That's the double-edged sword of these corporate rights decisions. At some point or another, the pendulum is going to swing the other way, too.
Again, I'm not necessarily saying there should be a draft.

Raise your hand if you opened this thread, and started searching for "Linux Desktop".
them "lap-tops"?
They're portable computers. You don't have to put them on your lap.
Who decided to call the device by the portion of the body that some people choose to (awkwardly) place it on?
Do people call babies "armtops"?
Watches "wristtops"?
Glasses "ear/nose-tops"?
For a device that gently applies pressure to the users throat, and increases it the more he holds down FF.

How did users ever manage to transition from DOS to Windows 3.0 ?
Then to the totally-different Windows 95? (Not to mention WordPerfect to Winword.)
Then to NT with its Ctrl+Alt+Del "secure logon sequence"?
When people were shown KDE4, they just thought it was the next version of Windows with yet another interface that they had to learn.
Could someone with experience comment on Novell's offerings (ZEN, edirectory) vs. Microsoft (Active Directory) ?
I would have thought they could have contracted with a cloud provider located within the state.
There are plenty of data centers:
http://www.google.com/search?q=data+center+minneapolis
Surely, somebody's doing cloud stuff there (and Rackspace just released their cloud platform as open source).
Having the data in-state means a world of difference when it comes to sticky legal issues.
You'd think it was a blockbuster release like LOTR or something.

Actually on second thought, they might be making more money on the settlements than on theater sales.

While you're at, maybe just cut the Pell Grants, too.
Read Andrew Hacker on the sorry state of higher education.
http://www.google.com/search?q=andrew+hacker+higher+education
All the grants, loans, and whatnot seem to have done is a 439% increase in higher ed costs, 3x the median family income's increase.
Lifelong learning is an admirable goal which should be opensourced, crowdsourced, and meetup'd.
Men pay normal taxes already. They get drafted on top of that.
Corporations pay normal taxes already too. Drafting would logically be on top of that.
Keep in mind, this is just a brainstorm that I'm putting forward.

IPv6 scary stories: geek horror movie pr()n
The most outrageous aspect of this is that AT&T is the same company that had no problem giving up the privacy of its customers to the NSA.
And isn't it the same company that's always fixing to hand over its users' Internet logs to the MAFIAA?
For them to turn around and sue for the high and mighty principle of privacy is the height of hypocrisy.
Can't the principle of unclean hands come into play here? Or are legal doctrines only for the purpose of increasing lawyers' billing on both sides?
