Is reproduction an issue among OO.o documents when they are reopened, or only when MSO is involved? Because I'd pretty much blame MS for causing problems involving importing MSO documents (remember the ability to add proprietary stuff to standardized OpenXML), and I doubt Mozilla could do much better.
I think that office suites are a solved problem, and the only way to make them "better" is to remove layout features so that there are less places for newbies to get stuck. (Or to totally break everything that normal users are used to about the interface by replacing menu bars and toolbars with "ribbons".)
Maybe English speakers will become used to the word "Libre" and save us from the Free-as-in-beer vs Free-as-in-speech ambiguity of the word "free".
On the other hand, maybe they should try to be more inventive with the name, and invent something totally new without direct office or software libre associations.
The MPAA (probably) isn't asking about WikiLeaks for its own interest -- it's asking because it wants the US government on board, and the US government is far more concerned about WikiLeaks than movie pirates.
This is a lesson to all you slashdotters about how to lobby - convince people that you have the solution to their problem. (If it solves your problem, great!)
Why do people have to post PDFs through Google Docs (or Scribd) these days? They posted the full document on their website, and you the submitter decided that the PDF reader on my computer wasn't good enough for a direct link.
That's all well and good, but having a software option to shut down the computer was a Macintosh thing (introduced in Finder 4.x in 1985) about 10 years before it became a Windows thing. One need not worry about this patent.
I think they wanted something like "It's like R2-D2 repairing and fortifying your X-Wing while you're in flight," but they probably couldn't get the trademarks.
You're history is a little bit wrong. Israel had a human king as well, but he did not have a copy of the tablets. He was commanded to write two torah scrolls for his own use in his lifetime (like the Torah scrolls we use today).
As for the tablets, there is an opinion in the Talmud in Tractate Shekalim that there were 10 commandments on each tablet (as you say). There are other opinions that have even more copies (one copy on each of 4 faces of each tablet -- left, right, front, back -- for a total of 8 copies). And some say that one tablet had the version from Exodus, and the other had the version from Deuteronomy.
I'd like to see the look on peoples' faces when we recover the tablets and they find that they don't look like the pictures the artists have made all these years.
So we have a situation with a glut of people with nursing degrees with no nursing experience, and nobody willing to give them nursing experience. At the same time we have an aging nurse population who will soon not be able to continue, and maybe even require nurses of their own. What a fucked up situation.
It's a situation that will correct itself quite easily -- as those aging nurses are unable to continue, the younger nurses will finally get some experience and be able to get jobs. And I'm not sure what this whole rant about aging nurses has to do with the real issue from the patient standpoint which is...
There are practically no nursing jobs available, but at the same time, there aren't enough nurses [for the true necessity, though there are plenty of nurses to fill the available positions]. Well, there is either no money to pay them or nobody is willing to pay them.
Well, at this point it was just an investigation, but presumably the Attorneys General have the power to bring a case against Topix in federal court for some alleged violation of federal law.
They should bring back the Slashdot poll to discuss which of these sorting algorithms sounds best. (IMO, Insertion sort, bubble sort, and Heapsort sound coolest.)
The remedies Oracle is requesting almost certainly amount to saber-rattling, because I doubt they could get an injunction under the criteria the Supreme Court set in MercExchange
Forget what's available to users. The question was about what's actually installed on users' desktops. I assure you that almost nobody's going to try a hack like Google Chrome Frame or a Firefox simulator plug-in. (Well some people may, but they're the people who are already using HTML-5 compliant browsers.)
There's several different options for posting HTML on Slashdot. Learn them and save yourself much heartache:
Plain Old Text: This is for when you want to add tags occasionally to emphasize something. Your get checked, passed through as text, and have your linebreaks turned into proper HTML <p> tags.
HTML: requires you to write your own <p> and <br/> tags (handles lists better than Plain Old Text mode).
Extrans: escapes all < signs and > and & signs for you, uses <br> tags to create line breaks. Use this when you want your <sarcasm> tags to show without having to think about how it does it.
The Debian Popularity Context already provides some of the same kinds of statistics. They ask at installation time whether you want to participate, and I think the interface is evenly weighted between opt-in and opt-out, so the users may be somewhat self-selected.

I haven't seen prices drop yet with new commercial options like WiMax.

I send it by online baking, but I think in theory I could send in the paper bill with cash inside.
I don't pay my ISP by credit card. I try to avoid having automatic charges by credit card.

You always had a choice. You could decide to reboot on a certain schedule and only update the kernel half the time.

Your priority post even comes pre-expanded for our viewing convenience.

I smell a method patent coming... "Proper use of language... ON THE INTERNET".
That would work, as there is essentially no prior art.
But then everybody except the patent holder would be forbidden to use proper language on the internet.

and it's probably the case that not all of those allow you to create multiple users on them.
It's a severe case of Hong Kong Sloth.
Is there a way I can get a revocation certificate for Etisalat now, and install it now, and not have to wait for Verizon to do something about it?
Suddenly, I'm not so sure one is allowed to evolve Java (e.g. develop JDK 7) under the terms of the public patent grant.

I try to use carriage returns to end sentences. LaTeX doesn't care, but diff thanks me.
