LibreOffice saves in.pdf as well as.doc/.docx/.odf. Most employers don't mine a resume in.pdf format, and it's virtually guaranteed to display/format correctly.
As a grad student (who's also taken a few undergrad classes recently), I use LibreOffice. Opening things like syllabus documents isn't ever a problem. As far as saving and submitting online or via email, I just save in.pdf format, which basically guarantees that a document will be readable to the professor.
"We'll kill/incarcerate the fuck out of you to save you."
Remember, we're the country that locks up the most people for what they choose to take into their own bodies. We also used to lock up or kill people for their choice of partners -- wrong color was almost a capital offense in many parts of the country.
Don't underestimate the stupidity and brutality of the American criminal injustice system.
Hopefully, the lawsuits come soon and will be painful -- FB should be a communication tool and not snoop on the content of non-public (i.e. privacy set to anything but "public") communications.
Say someone's FB account gets hacked and a suicidal message is posted. Cops arrive at their door to take them away to the loony-bin for a psych hold. Fun times!
Also, will there be a human in the loop for posts like "I'll jump under a freakin' train if the Patriots lose the Superbowl"?
Try editing the same data set with multiple pieces of software (aka "apps") on an iPad. Those "dead" computers allow for real work -- iPads are nice media consumption devices.
I'd rather a few guilty parties go free than police have unfettered right to violate people's privacy. Making police dot all the i's and cross the t's reminds them that they're EMPLOYEES of the public, nothing more. Humble, restrained cops are a good thing.
But here's the irony -- in Europe, the rights to tinker and repair are actually more enshrined in law than in the US. Even goes for houses -- most European cities won't harass you for working on your own home without a permit, whereas in some parts of the US, woe betide you if a neighbor reports an unlicensed electrical outlet...
Europe tends to have better data protection, the right to unbundle (IE wasn't allowed to be tied to Windows), and incentives to repair vs throw away in some countries. Sweden actually gives tax breaks for fixing things vs disposing them.
(1) I've had a gun pulled on me by some stupid kid in a carjacking. I don't actually wish that kid death (or a lifetime in prison) if he was caught. The human brain doesn't fully develop until the mid-20s -- kid was maybe 15 and may have been pushed into doing it by older peers. This experience didn't make me more authoritarian or more likely to support "law and order." Rather, I saw the total uselessness of the police in this instance. (They found the car, then it disappeared from their impound lot.) This experience made me trust law enforcement much LESS than before.
(2) By the same argument, if the sentence for multiple armed robberies is the same as for murder (life in prison), aren't you providing an incentive for armed robbers to shoot any witnesses? We could argue about this all day.
Should be served concurrently -- the crimes were over a short period of time. The number of instances doesn't really speak to his willingness to re-offend in a decade or two.
I'd sooner trust a mental health professional than your average cop, juror, or judge (judges aren't even required to have a law degree in most of the USA).
The older version of the application was available. I wasn't expecting the latest version to run on an old iOS, just to be able to use an old, unmaintained version.
This was a 3-4 year old iPad -- an age where most laptops are still highly usable.
Especially if you provide educational/career-training opportunities (other than in crime from other inmates) while they are jailed for 10 years.
Yeah, one can make the argument that those opportunities aren't provided free to the public at large, but they SHOULD be. Free/cheap community college is a great thing -- glad that more enlightened states are floating the idea.
The huge delta between negotiated sentences and the consequence of jury trials is a reflection of how great the distance is between citizens and their rulers in the US. We use to hang people for this shit and I can't think of any good reasons why we aren't doing that today; just a lot of bad ones.
Agreed on the first part.
Disagreed on the second part. We also used to:
* Lynch people of different races who chose to enter into a relationship
* Not allow people of different races to share public facilities or get married
* Jail consenting adults of the same gender for what they did in their private bedrooms
Just because we did it in the 1800s doesn't mean it's a good idea today.
Take an older iPad where I needed to install a certain app. When I tried to install it from the App Store, it told me that the current app version was incompatible with the OS version. The OS itself couldn't be updated further.
However, there was a perfectly functional older version of the app compatible with an older iOS out there. App Store would just not allow me to download it directly.
The hack was to download it first in iTunes, flagging my account as already having downloaded it, THEN reinstall it on the iPad. Since my iTunes account was flagged, the App Store would then provide the older app.
With jailbreaking and/or ability to sideload after clicking a disclaimer, this procedure would have been much less irritating. But no, Apple WANTS to irritate you into buying a new iPad and putting your (perfectly functional) one in the landfill.
are the media pimps and lobbyists who make money on people remaining afraid, despite crime being at a 50 year low, and the US generally being a safe country.
Though I'm not going to excuse the American voters just because they're "frightened," either.
This was "repeatedly" over the course of a year or so, not of several decades. Separate the criminal from the gang, and rehabilitation becomes possible.

The USSR was also well known for abuse of psychiatric incarceration.
Yep, I over-estimated the IQ of the average US cop. Maybe they'll do it in Canada, though.
Just buy another one!
Or smoke one ... I hear w33d helps with suicidal ideations. But don't mention it on Facebook since their AI bot might report you to the local po-po.
American cops and injustice system be like...

I went from iOS to Android to a custom ROM -- I have no major stability issues. No security issues either if you're not stupid about what you install.
What if you want to work on a local file? Or one stored on your own server and accessed via SMB or WebDAV?
Why should you have to share a file with a korporate kloud service just to be able to view it?

Not everyone wants to save all of their work to someone else's computer (aka the Clown aka iClown).
Make it an asymptotic curve with a max sentence or something like that :)
Even if it were an undue burden, so what?

I get the sentiment, however crudely put.

You mean scum who couldn't find an honest way of making a living, so they managed to con their way into Con-gress?
