You seemed to miss this part of my post so I will post it again:
I don't want to have to update my entire operating system and my other applications.
I only want the newer version of OOo. Everything else on my computer works fine and I don't want to mess with it.
Then you better go back to the LTS. In 1.5 years you will be stuck with no update or upgrade path other than old CD upgrades. Serious warning, not a flame.
I evaluated 3.1 for use in my company for a department of about 100 people (would have saved $20,000 per year in licensing). The main problem was not speed but compatibility!
It is as compatible as different versions of MS Office... You are only totally compatible when everyone is running the same version of the same program.
"Many issues have been fixed in order to make OpenOffice.org faster. The happy news that OpenOffice.org 3.2 is now faster than before in many aspects. The startup now 30% faster in Windows."
Thank God. If it got any slower and more bloated... I just hope Linux is also faster.
I have not had a 1 page resume in 20 years. I seem to make all the automated HR filters too... I just wonder if that is connected?:)
A friend and I were co-workers in a company that went bust. We had almost the same job and almost the same experience. We both applied at the same company, and I got a call back and a job. He never got a call back. My new boss asked if I knew anyone else. I said, "Uh, Yes?" and told him about my friend. He never saw the resume. I got it for him and he hired my friend as well. HR was pissed at him for at least 2 years.:) He is still there, and I have long since left. HR is worthless...
You mean like googling "latest movie torrent" and using that? (Which is still frequently TPB) And the reason for rar is so the 6 gig movie fits on a fat32 thumb drive. (2 gig file size limit) Crappy reason, yes, but still a reason.
I am a computer geek at work. After hours I like to wrench on my WRX, or my bike, or the classic boat I had for a few years... Something different from the job.
Yet I still find all the information for my vehicular diversions on the internet... Curses, foiled again!
1) if you "buy" an outfit, you should get the code that made it.
2) if you didn't, you should have modification rights.
3) if you "sell" an outfit, you should spend your money and not try to steal the sumbitch back.
conclusion: put them all in a room, with their laywers. on the titanic. hit an iceberg. it's a start.
If you spend millions to buy something and never have anybody who understands what you are buying read the contract, you deserve what you get. Read the fine print... http://www.mevis-research.de/~meyer/MISC/di/a.htm
You just made my point. You pledge "Until Death do us part" but some just don't keep that pledge. And of those that have already proven not to keep that pledge, they are more likely not to again...
You know, if it were just prostitution and extramarital affairs, I wouldn't care if their emails were deleted. Those types of personal vices are rather inconsequential to being a good civil servant.
It is a question of trust. If they will not keep their word to a person they have pledged their life to, and who is (or should be) the closest to them in the world, then they may be lying to me too...
That said, I don't really trust a damn one of them...
Its not just politicians. Where I used to work, a disgruntled IT person forwarded emails between an "escort" and a company director to all 6000 company employees. jpg attachments and all.
Aren't all botnets remote control? I don't see how it matters what network protocol is used. What am I missing?
That instead of being controlled by a traceable PC owned by the hacker, or an infected PC that may be blocked, cleaned, removed, or traced, It is on a widely respected and not usually blocked third party service.
It is similar to the improperly named "Linux Botnet" of actual, production websites yesterday. But where yesterday Linux haters were laughing, today it will be Google haters.
But only for dinosaurs that are not extinct, and naturally reproduce by cloning.
Could you explain that last bit there, because I think they are mutually exclusive. To me it sounds like anything "natural" about this plant left in 1994...
The symbol of a noose isn't merely a random piece of art that someone interprets. It is an icon which was used to represent a threat.
Since racists can't just go out and say, "hey, let's kill some black people", they just show the image of a noose. It's a historical reference, and everyone gets the point.
Except you apparently. Frankly, I find your whole, "a noose is an inanimate object" argument ridiculous. Just because you don't get it doesn't mean that people don't use it that way:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/01/05/chernoff.noose/index.html
You can use all of your own arguments against your arguments!
It was a symbol of "We kill horse thieves" before racism. And of "Don't fuck with the king" before that. Big jump from scary to racism.
You can ban speech, but not hate, so since a racist can't say "let's kill some black people" they pick another way to say it. And you quote a story where the racist said "let's go hang Russel up there" and the ADL as sources. I can do that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangman's_knot Nothing about racism. (Now anyway... In 10 minutes, who knows...)
And let me boil it down for you... Communication is ambiguous. Hitting someone is not. There are plenty of real racists in the world, and mostly they aren't subtle. Read your own article. The noose was disturbing, but the comments were shocking. No need to worry about the noose when he threatened to hang someone.
And just because someone chooses to take offense at a statement I made, it does not make me a racist. Right now people are being called racist for being against the current health plan. Stuff like that just makes real racism harder to fight.

others filter because of poor grammar or inappropriate things said in the review that could upset younger or older customers.
You mean you can't say "This product sucks like a 14 year old crack whore" to kids?
Yep. Posting that review to slashdot will get it red far more than on that site as well!

I would love to claim it as a Monty Pythonism (I fart in your general direction you silly English kaniggits.) but it was just a typo.

Yeah... Because it is all swept under the rug now.
They'd just send somebody with a baseball bat to your mailbox.
But I have a mail slot in my door...
Yeah, sew their butts shut. That'll teach 'em!
If only that would help, lawyers are full of shit and it can only be explained by having a blocked arse.
Or just being anal retentive. :)
Google should have fought back against this.
They did. They could have just shut off the account. This is a problem with a judge, and I will backfire badly.

Kohler? Seems kind of wasteful to say "through it away" rather than clean it...
to a person they have pledged their life to
The statistics disagree with you: 50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce ( http://www.divorcerate.org/ ) Average length of a marriage is 8 years ( http://www.census.gov/prod/2005pubs/p70-97.pdf )
You just made my point. You pledge "Until Death do us part" but some just don't keep that pledge. And of those that have already proven not to keep that pledge, they are more likely not to again...
Could be worse... I can see some people treating this like a video game.
Shockingly, there have only been 5 mayors since 1950. Loyal city.
"Loyal" is not the word I would choose.

Could be a new reality show. "When IT Attacks"
Hey, c'mon now, if "The Office" can make it...
Or Salmon Days! Wait a minute...

You're a fool if you think putting up a noose isn't a threat. It's the 1920's Southern Man's pirate flag. It means "You will be hung".
Wait a minute... I thought all those e-mails I got were saying "You will be hung..." I think I am misunderstanding something somewhere.
