Has anyone seen Elephants Dream? It's a horrible movie. Sure the 3d stuff is cool, but that's not what I want advertised everywhere as "the product of open source". The movie is *bad*. We're talking worse than Gigli, seriously.
Double opt-in means when person X signs up with foo@bar.com as the email, the provider sends a "Click here to verify your subscription" link to foo@bar.com
This would make it susceptible to getting on a blacklist from a spamtrap style email account.
Anytime Microsoft complains about OpenDocument, I just remember back to when they were on the Technical Committee at OASIS forming the standard. They then left that committee. If they truly cared about OpenDocument, they would have stayed on the TC and made changes to it.
I see this as an attempt by Microsoft to slander this format and try to further their own semi-OpenXML format.

What exactly will a bunch of Linux hippies convening at a "workshop" accomplish? What, will they go over new ways to copy Microsoft? Or will they share new ideas to furter weaken the commercial software industry? Bunch of commies if you ask me.
I hate to feed the troll, but I'm sure the base concern is shared by more than a few people around here share.
The OpenDocument Fellowship *is not* an open source advocacy group. We're happy to hear of ANYONE using open formats, expecially in the realm of office software.
The sibling post comparing open formats in commercial office software to photoshop and open image formats has the right idea. Open standards stimulate competition -- both commercially and in the open community.

You are partially correct. The group I represent, the OpenDocument Fellowship, promotes open formats, not open source. However, the level playing field created by open formats helps all software companies, and open source developers, to compete more fairly.
Hey, just wanted to make a point: This isn't for political, or "you have to do X because Y people signed" deal. This is meant to get a rough estimate of people who use/would use MS if they supported OpenDoucment. We are keeping a list of all people with >500 computers, and manually confirming all large submissions. It's going to be more reliable than your average.
I don't even understand why it's an option. Most people given the choice will choose IE out of ignorance, while Netscape is safer and takes away most compatibility issues.
Seriously, around here (Raleigh) the only true "video game" stores are EB and Gamestop. It'd completely remove competition from this region.
Which would be sad, seeing as how Gamestop recently stopped (in my area) keeping older consoles, but EB still does -- I'd hate for a single bad decision to kill some other thing about the stores I like.
The reason that was a sin is because Onan was duty-bound to impregnate his sister-in-law since his brother died. Onan had the sex, but without giving his late brother's wife a kid. That was the sin.

I'm a 22 year old guy, interviewing candidates for a helpdesk SA position (someone working under me).
Any good tips for how to *not* come off like a young idiot?
As I said, 3d stuff = cool, but overall movie = terrible.
I agree wholeheartedly. This is also why most OSS games don't have good textures, they are made by programmers, not gfx artists.

Sorry to feed the troll, but since when was "RTFM" an invalid answer in the tech world?
See opendocumentfellowship.org for J. David Eisenberg's book on OpenDocument. Lots of stuff to answer that question in there.

sudo has a command line switch for opening a shell. Therefore, the proper way to open a shell with sudo is
sudo -s
One of our largest banks is the "State Employees' Credit Union"... they have ATMs everywhere, no surcharge.
It's excellent (and it's a good bank, too!)

I'd say to give them to someone who might use them (like me), or to sell them on ebay. Some people still use that type of ram.
