    3+ detectors would allow triangulation to identify locations?

  2. Re:Sounds like a bad idea to me on Preview the Office 2007 Ribbon-Like UI Floated For OpenOffice.Org · · Score: 1

    I run Linux 24/7 but regularly virtualise XP to edit docs for my work on Office 2007. I work for the NHS and we're only running Office 2003 there - but I really like the ribbon.

    I'd love to see it implemented in OOo.

    [I have WinXP Home from my pre-Linux days, and I got Office 2007 for £18 via my public sector employer. Just keep windows on for gaming and Office apps.]

  3. Re:Olympic Oxymoron on Athletes Can Blog at Olympics - with Restrictions · · Score: 1

    Just searched the official Beijing 2008 site for "censorship", aptly returned nothing. Searching on "Human rights" had a few results, the following page on the paralympics caught my eye:

    "Training in advocacy and human rights starts successfully

    Today, a training for Paralympic leaders in advocacy and human rights has started in Seoul, Korea.

    Organized by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) in collaboration with Landmine Survivors Network and Rehabilitation International, a total of 28 participants from 16 countries, including Paralympic athletes, are currently defining and approaching advocacy as well as discussing human rights and the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities."

    So there is *some* peripheral human rights work underway, in the context of disability issues. IMHO this is valuable in its own right, and the principles of advocacy, campaigning and lobbying are more widely applicable.

    Interesting to note that this work is taking place outside China.
