* Look into Apache Webdav. It will run over SSL and allow Windows users access.
* Depending on what your goal is, a CVS or some document management system may be a good solution.
* A Wiki? Something like Dokuwiki or PMWiki allow you to share all sorts of files.
I think there may be multiple solutions. That is, if you are willing to look at your problem from the perspective of what you are trying to accomplish, rather than trying to force a particular technology to apply to your problem.
Wait until it downloads, pause Google Updater, grab the temporary file from D&S\AU\ApData\GU\cache. It should be an exe once it is downloaded. Rename it to something meaningful and presto, StarOffice. You can install wherever you want.
I don't really see what makes it any more compelling than OpenOffice.org so far.
Warning, I didn't read the EULA, so proceed at the risk of Google Street View taking a picture of you running around your house in the underwarz.
Wows, the Interwebs can have tabs. You can see more than one! Plus, MS invented a thing called Feeds where you can subscribe to see Internet changes!!!!!!! Microsoft is the roxors!!!! What will they think of next?
This disappoints me greatly. Not so much that I misread the comment and made myself look foolish, but that I missed the opportunity to relate the six partners to marital practices in Utah.
And to the gentleperson that called me a Debian elitist:
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Okay, I know it is against the [ignorant and out of touch] law in the US, but why not watch real movies on your iPod? That's why I bought the stupid thing.
My recipe goes like this:
Clone DVD to get the VOB files to my hard disk.
MergeVOB to get them into one huge file.
Videora iPod converter to do the MP4 converting.
On my rather dated machine the process takes about an hour 40, but the movies are only 700mb and that doesn't make much dent in my 60GB
Okay, now here's the kicker. I bought the movies legally on DVD and still have the case and all, why is this illegal? That's just stupid I don't care who you are. I should be able to put the disc in and iTunes should rip it for me, just like a CD.
You make it sound like magic. (So, does everybody else I'm just picking you.) All you do is open the SQL table and edit the entry. Wiki is a standard DB. I back mine up every week just like you'd back up any other DB.
This is the proper way to handle a situation like this. By making the change that requires you to sign in whoever posted the slander is 'winning'. I use the Wikimedia software on my site, and I am perfectly happy with how it works and I have no problem with anonymous users making changes.
In fact, the only problem I have ever had is with ProFTP. I reloaded a new server, and used alternative methods update it and I don't expect any problems.
I think part of the dupe problem may be that Slashdot's search function needs some work. I did a search for the words (Ubuntu IBM DB2) before I submitted the story. That article was not returned.
type in your sudoer password and configure away! </smart4$$>
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Lord I apologize for telling the CLI impaired person to type something in a faux command line, and be with the starving Pygmies down in New Guinea.
I normally wouldn't reply to a dupe, but since I have personal involvement with this one here goes. Also, since I work for one of these organizations and I have full confidence the average Slashdot reader can figure out which one: I in no way speak for my employer in this matter.
I had a Cingular cell phone before all this came about and I basically chose not to participate in this program so I canceled my phone. I went through several levels of phone company BS trying to get my contract termination fee eliminated.
Basically, especially since my employer is involved, I don't want the possibility existing that I'll call in sick one day, only to have my employer track me to the bar. (Not that that possibility exists. O-:-) If they want this capability the least they can do is provide the phone.;) Yes, I know, I'm a paranoid whatever. I just choose not to participate and I think that should be my choice.
My ordeal with Cingular included listening to one of their reps go on and on [cue Star Spangled Banner] about how Cingular would in no way collect any information that could personally identify me blah blah. And they would NEVER do such a thing, blah, blah. And the best part, how whenever they get the opportunity to help with an *American* problem like traffic they feel it is their duty as an *American* company to come to the aid of the citizens blah blah....... After about ten minutes of the speach he finally took a breath giving me the opportunity to "(Cou. Bullsh@#, cough cough)". This response seemed to really upset him.
They finally decided to partially credit the fee. Which between that and selling the phone that I got free because of the contract, I broke even. So, I feel that is fair. In the Christian sense of the word. Just kind of a pain in the rear, but I guess that's my choice.
My alternative was a T-Mobile prepaid phone with 1000 minutes for $100. Not a bad solution considering I paid cash and they don't have my name or any other PI2.
I think some of the responses on here make very good points about the pitfalls of this type of program. I think the intentions of all involved are good, but I don't think this concept is as well thought through as it could be.

Behold, the lack of power of the dark mode.
Wow, you want to bring out the three and four digit uids just post a story about Slackware! :-)
I still like it, though I haven't used it in the last couple of years.
Here are some places to start:
* Look into Apache Webdav. It will run over SSL and allow Windows users access.
* Depending on what your goal is, a CVS or some document management system may be a good solution.

Actually, you can escape it with a backslash (\) on *ix or a caret (^) on Windows.

Still running Windows 3.1 calculator I see. Ubuntu's thinks 3+4=7 and 12/2=6. One of them is wrong, but I went to public school so I can't say which.
The transcript is too long, could someone please post an executive summary?
xoxoxoxoxoxo OMG Kitten Cannons.

Me too, suck it up. The hard work your dad made you do probably got you a helluva job.

I had to order the 'Thumb' drive! I'm going to mod that into a cup of Wendy's chili.

Too bad I used up all my mod points. This screams overrated.

In any case, I'm sorry for causing the dupe.
