governments always increase surveillance under the guise of "Law and Order" and decrease liberties with the by-line "Good citizens have nothing to fear"
FTFY
And the USSR was right wing? You are easily fooled by propaganda. The leaning of the government is not relevent information.
LO Calc not only has these features, they work properly. The only area I have had problems with on LO calc is graphing. I have used it since the first release (OOO before that), and AFAICR, everything other than graphing in calc has been way less painful than with MS Office (admittedly partly because I dont have to deal with the horror of Windows). Most of my family prefoer LO Writer to MS Word, even those that still sue WIndows.
One per family unit. If dad pays, all the family are covered ho matter how many tvs, but an unrelated resident needs own licence for own TV (hence the need for gay marriages)
Nope. The only cure is a national minimum level of intelligence - which obviously has to be a lot higher than yours!
Hint: The problem isnt lack of work - it is lack of other things which are not available in unlimited quantities.
If you guarantee a minimum income, anything not available in limitless quantities will rise in price until people on the minimum income can't afford it. This has been efficiently demonstrated by house prices in the UK (where there effectively is a guaranteed minimum income). If you were not taught this in school, maybe you should have been using the internet instead of going to class.
Actually, since about 11.04, the printer install process fails for networked printers, I have reported it, and the bug was closed after a couple of years "because no one had suggested a fix!"
Priort to that, the printers worked fine, and they still work with Android, Win 7 and *BSD (I have never even seen WIn8). In fact, there is a command line install process that works too. Given that at least two of the users I support could not even spell "Command line" this is not exactly user friendly.
I have noticed that, on many devices, when you enter the Wifi Key, you have the option to view it why the hell can't I have that for passwords? (especially on my Andoid Phone) If I am the only person in the room, it doesnt need to be converted to asterisks. (and if I am tyuping it over a 300 baud acoustic coupler in plaintext, hiding the echo won't help either).
Unfortunately the ASICs are vapourware. And, at current Bitcoin prices, up-front costs and a minimum ASIC production run would be worth more than all the Bitcoins currently in circulation, so it will likely stay that way for a while, by which time will be zero.
All the evidecne is that supporting Linux takes less than 10% of the resources of supporting Windows in English, It is a far bigger saving if you are using a different Locale.
A movement to Windows8 will be far more painful than a move to Linux, because new hardware will be needed not that Win8 wont run on the old CPU, but ya cant get no device drivers!!!!
Its not guns that shoots peoples feet, its Americans, that shoots their own feet!
laughing at the idea of switching to a Linux OS because they want something that "just works".
Well Linux "just works" for me. OTOH, Windows, other than as a pre-install, has persistently failed to work. It is a fatal error where the OS does not come with drivers for the network card, and expects you to download the drivers over the net! Assuming you can boot from a CD, you can install Linux (Or *BSD) in about 40 minutes, unattended. Good luck installing WIndows in 40 hours - with constant user intervention because of all the fixes and reboots.
I even had a Thinpad T43p that came with XP - then one day stopped running XP "because of a hardware problem" - All attempts at a reinstall from the Lenovo restore partition or a CD failed, but three years later is still running Ubuntu and in daily use!
Do closed source people share code with BSD people?
Well, yes they do. They may not share all their code, but they often share fixes and enhancements. For infrastructure software, it makes a lot of sense to share your software - you need the infrastructure, others need the infrastructure - and you probably prefer to share the task of maintaining infrastruture rather than do it on your own.
Applications may be a different case: and the GPL might be more appropriate.
In the UK, both O2 and T-Mobile refuse to set credit limits on contract phones. 3 lets you set a credit limit. (Which is why I am on 3). My contract (£30 a month inc SGS3) gives me unlimited internet (Inc tethering), a zillion text messages a month (I use about 3) and 5000 mins to other 3 users (my family - I use about 2500) and 2000 minutes to other networks (I use about 1800). That is WAY more than you get for the same money on PAYG.
I am a happy bunny, but have had major agro from O2 and T-Mobile (who called in debt collectors for a BB I never had)
Credit cards have limts. (in the UK) Phone contracts have no limit, and the full force of the law is available to the phone copanies to demand payment of any amount they choose, without regard to sanity, morality or any other constraint.
There was a problem with ringtones a few years back: kids thought they were buying one ringtone for $2, they were actually agreeing to one a day for ever. The phone regulator was asked on national radio what he was doing about it, he said "Nothing. These people are criminals, and when we come after them, they run away!" (Notwithstanding the fact that the criminals have to wait 90 days before they get the money from established phone companies - who take 30% as a transaction fee).
There IS a problem: and it is primarily the fact that we cannot request a credit limit.

"We do not need telephones, because we have messenger boys" - a British Government - presumably some time in late 1800's.
(probably in the same sense that Hitler was a soclailst)

And the fact that they keep leaving all the "secure" data on the Underground.

Then the computers will learn not to understand us, because the task is not possible/pointless. How does that help?

Well, we in the UK won't care, because our government will block 0/0 to eliminate anything porn, defined as "any image contain more than 7 pixels".
Nope. The only cure is a national minimum level of intelligence - which obviously has to be a lot higher than yours!

Nope - stick to pornography - its the internet, stupid!

Have you ever stopped to think how many alien worlds are populated by tablets?
Free as in GPL or Free as in BSD?

User can use Apache or BSD licence?

Well, yes they do. They may not share all their code, but they often share fixes and enhancements.

I live in the UK, and I cant believe that the phone companies are permitted to REFUSE to set a credit limit.
One word: iPhones.
You have missed the boat - what you wanted was a Lonovo Thinkpad T61p (1920x1200). The don't make them like they used to.
