Oh, and have you tried exporting to OpenOffice from Word?
So much for compatibility...
And rumor has it that OO is more compatible with older versions of Word than Word itself.
Since it doesn't appear to be possible to get a free copy of the software from these people, and the software is in fact Debian, looks to me like they're in violation of the GPL.
Actually, they have no obligation to supply you with source unless you buy the distro.
Sure we're still 5-10 years from the point where those facilities are "needed", but without a solid foundation in place we can't even think about deploying those kind of systems efficiently.
Not so far away...
I'm having this problem every time I use my laptop to do presentations. As it's 1600x1200 and most projectors only support at most 1200x960, my desktop layout is screwed up every time!
Note that this is not yet a problem in Linux... I'm still waiting for the RANDR X extension to enable this kind of problem:-)
I thought that your patents only protected you from other trying to sell a similar product? Please inform me if I'm wrong...
That is, noone can stop me from producing a medical drug myself, for my own use, even if it's patented.
Thus, someone trying to sell a Content management system using static links to dynamic pages would be infringing. But just putting your own pages online is allowed.
Or am I just uninformed?
The problem is not copy protection in the Linux kernel itself. The problem is instead that the document provides detailed descriptions of vulnerabilities in deployed systems.
Thus, it gives you information you can use to break into these systems, bypassing their "rights management". More info in the thread from last year here.

Sure, but the thing is already called ResierFS. How many theorems in mathematics contain a list of sponsors?

it might be possible to force them to GPL their entire kernel.
... or not distribute it at all
... or remove the offending code
Let's not get too excited.
This will be a dupe of a future article.
