The "4th grade" thing might be gone now but it was on the books at one point.
BTW: The quality of English being taught in Quebec is so bad that my sister, who is fluently bilingual, was asked to stay in English class (instead of getting an exemption) to help the other students. This was in Secondary 3 (Grade 9). They were learning how to ask for the time in English.
Give the slide author a break. He was probably one of those kids who were forbidden **by LAW** to be taught English in school before the 4th Grade.
That's bill 101 and the separatist PQ for you. They're always trying to dumb down the Quebec sheeple so that they can't work outside of Quebec. It's also illegal for parents to send their kids to English schools unless *Both* parents are English. Then can justify closing English school due to lack of enrollment...
When the Ghost cloning utility started, they did *NOT* get approval from MS. MS was even denying support for systems that were cloned with Ghost or equivalent.
Today, MS has their own utility that does the same thing.
BTW, I meant to write: "If it hurt someone but it's not ILlegal, it's ok"
Sound like the same arguments that those robber barons use to screw over talent when they get them to sign a contract that benefits only the robber barons.

I talked to a Control4 dealer and I got a few interesting tidbits:
-The *Dealer* installs, configures the system into your house using special dealer-only software (PWD protect the system, too) -You get a turnkey system, not the pwd. -You can get something like an SDK for it but it is a *subset* (read: down version) of what the dealer used.
-The debugger gives you a button to unwatch variables but no obvious way to add variables to watch. you can't right-click on variables to "watch" them during debug.
-If the macro throws a dialog box, you can't stop the macro. You must deal with the dialog box first.
I could go on but hey, it's free, I don't get corruption on the fly like I did with MS word and OOo gets better with time.
However, people discussing issue 3959 are now even willing to just have a way to toggle between the outline view and the editing view instead of being able to see both at the same time like in Word(tm).

because their name was not google
All bow to the outdated business model that is the music business of the 50-90s.
Profits from this *MUST* be protected at the cost of freedom, privacy and progress. /sarcasm (in case of "whoosh")
Amazing what bribes from robber barons can do to otherwise respectable politicians.
Just like it make zero business sense for telcos to wiretap their customers w/o warrant, etc.
we did it for the moon landings.
Our Avro engineers needed a job.

The reason it's like that is because developers are too lazy to test with a regular user account.
When and who?
When India or China lands on the moon or mars or asteroid.
USA, EU, Australia and Russia are too busy sending tax dollars to the rich.
Na, call the movie "DeathBook"
plot: someone tells Facebook that you are dead and HOW you die by a freak accident. Then, within 24 hours, that said freak accident REALLY kills you.
Quick! somebody create a DeathBook.com web site!
and "Exchange Web Services" is Patented!

sounds like we'll have to wait for v4.0 to get a built-in ATM machine, a-la-stepford-wife
Are trying to build your own CD chair?

because steam looks cool on camera.
This has nothing to do with liberty and everything to do with profit from a broken business model.
It's akin to taking away your TV set(s) because you get the news faster/cheaper than newspapers.
looks like it's:

Again, I'm tapped out.
I wish we had more than just 5 votes to give for writer and calc issues.
It currently has no votes so you should try to vote for it.
I know.
It's basic shit for a Code editor.
Also:
-There is no indent/un-indent button
-The debugger gives you a button to unwatch variables but no obvious way to add variables to watch. you can't right-click on variables to "watch" them during debug.
-If the macro throws a dialog box, you can't stop the macro. You must deal with the dialog box first.

Ever heard of Unixware!
remember this WAS 10 years ago!
(Now, get off my lawn!)
When I did this years ago, each server would run scripts to read logs, etc and if they found something bad they would email me with what they found.
Simple and scalable
That's another good one but I'm tapped out.
I which we had more than just 5 votes to give for writer and calc issues.
I was going to say post links to the RTF issue that you are talking about but I did a Search and H01y$hit!

I voted for the big ones I could see but all you can do is vote for the big ones for you.
You are correct but I only have 5 votes for the wordprocessing feature to give.
3959 depends on:
Refactor sw code to support multiple layouts
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=81480
which depends on:
add form layer support for virtual objects on form controls
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=87241
and
Refactoring of Writer's usage of the Drawing layer
