I looked into this, it worked, but I dont actually use it now, so I dont remember all the details.
OpenOffice (Or maybe LibreOffice, or even both) normally save in a binary format, but can be told to save in a non-binary format, in which case you can use the version control system of your choice for all the things a version control system normally does.
I used Subversion for my tests, because it is what I am used to, but you dont have to. Probably CVS and SCCS would work as well as they do for anything else, and the Gitterati can use Git.
Central control works very well for the major retail chains. When you buy something, the bar code is scanned, and the details go back up the chain to the point of creations. Analytics take good care of seasonal variation, fashion trends, etc. If I buy one extra thing, or 100, the system copes with it fine.
The supply chain is lean to the extreme, and rarely are supermarket shelves empty. Marks and Spencer can easily doo what Karl Marks could only dream of.
Capitalism is a system where [snip] having wealth makes it easier to keep and obtain wealth, and lacking it makes it harder to keep or obtain it,
In other words, reality!
The fact is, a man with a spade can dig holes faster than one using his bare hands. Hell, a man who went and found a stick to help him can dig better than a man with his bare hands.
The real problem is that the education system has taught people it is someone else's job to find them work!
Before the agricultural revolution, and in most 3rd world countries, most employment is self employment. Employment in the sense of working for others is only one step above slavery. However, the left, with its "fight for the right to be exploited" campaign has made people think that working for a big company is the natural state of things. Union bosses are still bosses.
Capitalism is indeed a system where the only control on who buys what is the price. The alternatives are systems where ownership is restricted, like communism, where no one can buy anything, and apartheid, where the colour of your skin determines what you can buy.
The problem with the present system is that people place too much value on products only achievable with vast amounts of capital (or in some cases, skill). What needs to be changed is people's perception of value. This will probably be helped by things like Ebay allowing small individuals to trade with customers who are thinkly distributed around the world. It will also be helped by the internet and 3D printers, on-line education will help but look closely you need to have internet access (hell, seven year olds in Africa have mobile phones today) and use it for educational purposes. Hint: Playing "slightly miffed penguins" is not educational. Doing on-line degree courses is.
It will take time to replace the current generation of teachers, who are all wage-slaves, and want to promote their life-style to make themselves look good.
We will always have the problem of people who can't earn a living for various reasons, and I support the idea of supporting them. I do not support the idea that most people are too stupid to work for themselves. Go to Africa or Asia: everyone you see is working for themselves (not necessarily very successfully). Ten year olds understand the idea that you have to buy equipment and stock to improve your turnover and make more money. They are poor because the market is saturated with people delivering the same goods and services they deliver. The internet will give them the ideas, and access to more tools, raw materials and markets. Trailer trash in America already has that, but prefers to watch the X factor to making money. Perhaps they are already rich enough? I don't know.
Because it can have serious and permanent unintended consequences, not just on the victim, but on people connected with the victim, however remotely, possibly including enemies.
Just because the government is scum, does not mean you should attempt to "out-scum" them. That is the work of ISIS and Beaucoup Haram, etc.
Being more evil than someone else is not how you get to be good.
I don't know about where you live, but in the civilised world "doxing" would be dealt with quickly and severely by the justice system with the full support of all adult beings.
It is not "an acceptable kind of vigilate justice". It is the kind of behaviour you expect from badly brought up brats with personality disorders so severe they have to be kept locked up.
Its easy to grow at 500% when you are starting from nothing.
I will be surprised of Facebook sustains this in the long term. (I will be surprised of Facebook itself survives the predictable scandals resulting from loss of privacy).
It does mean bent in the UK, and OS/2 meant half an OS, which for a long time, it was. Also, the adverts featured dancing nuns, and did not mention what the product was, or what it did. IBM's marketing department must have smoked a lot of something wierd.
You are not alone. (And probably also got Anerley Road, Croydon, or Brisbane Road, Anerley)
We are in England, and Google repeatedly gives us directions to places in Edmonton, Ontario (several thousand miles away) instead of Edmonton, North London, 3 miles away. Often Austrialian places get listed too. York, Sierra Leone came up over York, England recently.
Surely it should be bloody obvious that the likelyhood of it being the correct answer is inversely proportional to the distance/travelling time.
I speak standard BBC English, and I have often been described by people as "the easiest person to understand in the company" in many different companies.
I my experience, the recognition rate appears to be about 2%.
There's magic to having a beautiful vector architecture and a real memory system.
There might be a magic to being able to SSH into it from your phone, but I cant fit a YMP in my pocket. Simulating large scale combustion dynamics can be fun or useful. But I can't really do that on my Core2 duo either.
However, there are very few things on my desktop that would not be useful on a device that slips in my pocket as a fully working device, but can be configured to have a 26" monitor and full size keyboard.
Including playing an mpeg of a pulse jet simulation computed on a real vector processor.
What part of "It is an Ubuntu phone that wont run ubuntu apps" did you not understand? This is the Open Source answer to Windows RT!
Not only will it start with no apps, there never will be any. It is a phone designed to appeal to NO ONE.
I for one am bitterly disappointed. I would love to run Ubuntu on my Samsung Note 3 - and run all the apps I run on my Ubuntu desk top, including the six virtual desktops or work spaces, or whatever the buzzword of the week is. I would love to press ctrl-X on my hacker's keyboard, and bring up one of many terminals. I want to have a machine with the power of a desktop in my pocket, and plug in an MHL cable and use a full size screen and keyboard when I want them. And I want to install mt-st and run Amanda with my USB DAT72 backup drive too!
The Note 3 has 100 times the power of my old 486, which ran BSD386 fine (after a year or two of editing Xorg.conf). Hell, even an S3 outperforms every VAX I have ever used (and likely most Crays I have used too).
Now we have nearly 50 years of learning how to produce a UI for a computer, why do phone manufacturers have to put so much effort into having crippled IUs? The answer is a choice of Gnome2 or KDE. What is with the rest of this crap? Seriously!

Depending on which is not a fluent English speaker.
Float like PHP, sting like Perl?
Which probably accunts for the 99% of 3d first person shooter users (since they are under the age of 11).
Once the AI reaches a certain level, the robots will all become addicted to Internet robot porn, and their productivity will collapse.
We don't think its an acronym, we are SHOUTING. We don't use Git cos we have tried it, and didn't like it. At all.

But I am a worthless chump, you insensitive clod!
Has anyone managed to invent a blood proof carpet yet? (check on Alibaba would you!)
Then it is over 1,000 years behind the rest of Islam, which has been doing this for a very long time.

So why not write C in the first place, and save everyone a ton of misery?
Cos debugging already tested code is an expensive waste of time.
Join the illiterati before its too late!

You are right. Visible light is proven harmless, unlike the unnatural Infra-red that was unknown to mankind before the transistor was invented.
