I don't know if anybody heard but OpenOffice.org is in trouble, if ya the chance make a donation teamopenoffice.org/de/spende.html and let some other people know about it. Thanks!
But apparently because OOo is a different license, libre can't be merged into it. I'm not sure of the details. But it sounds retarded. You would figure open source is, well, open eh?
And OOo can't be merged into Libre for the same reasons.
I wish I knew the details, but it sounds like someone needs to go in there and take the two parties and smash their heads together.
i believe OOo might have been switched to CDDL, and sun/oracle has copyright assignment on it, libre got forked off. then OOo got handed over to apache
Libreoffice can and does use OOo code i believe, as well as the former GO-OO patches
I can't stand Open Office - I used it a few years ago and support didn't exist - you ask for help somewhere and people blame you for doing something wrong... It is good in theory, but, compatibility and more... MS Office all the way for me.
@JourneymanGeek Microsoft was tired of hearing WordPerfect harping the "compatibility" theme, and I read a story of how they gathered a team of devs that did nothing but made sure the next release of MS Word could 100% convert WordPerfect files
though there was one point where i was slinging a spreadsheet between OOo calc (cause i was used to it) and excel (cause it was easier to do something with it)
Oh man this things got apps too...Calendar, Schedule (Schedule?), Annaversy, To Do (only got that one last week on the iPod!), Telephone Contacts, Memo, Expense, World Clock, and Calculator...
No new apps though, the buttons for them are hardwired....
The other side of the debate is that it was more common for people to lose their day planners, todo list or post it note than it was for people to lose connectivity.
Ya, I hope Verizon kicks the crap out of AT&T cause AT&T is draggin their tails as far as bandwidth. This Tmobile case only officially outed their lazy anti-progressive attitude.
Our connection is faster than dialup, but the place I used to live had one of these little local ISPs and they were insanely fast...and it was just a cable modem.

@WilliamHilsum I know.. I thought it was real till I came across this
Nothing. I am going to quote from the FAQ under What not to ask here:

every answer is equally valid: “What’s your favorite __?”
your answer is provided along with the question...
Actually your question was meant to be closed as a duplicate since it was asked earlier already, and that question was left open with the same warning.

Am I being crazy?... I can't find what is wrong with this - accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/… - it is £250 which seems very cheap for a 24" IPS! ... I sent back the monitor I won as it kept playing up and I have a voucher... it would mean spending about £100 more, but, it seems like a very good screen
When I last looked up IPS monitors, they seemed to be a minimum of £400-£500
@JourneymanGeek It doesn't even appear to be sales.... I am rather shocked, but, I am doing more and more programming and just getting so fed up of my 18" monitors
It is even cheaper from Amazon! I really want to buy this, but, don't know if I can justify the cost!
Ahh... I should be saving up for a mortgage and a new place to live... No matter how much I want it, I can't justify spending £500 on monitors! (need to buy 2 - the ~£130 voucher)
i wanted to erase the like permanent storage for the password of MySql 5.1... i dont know where it is located..when i re-installed it, its asking for the current password... and its says that there is a file that store that password and needs to be erased... pls help
@Diago I can understand that... There isn't that many at all world wide.
@Diago I have protected because of those spammy answers... Seems like anything about resetting passwords attract them... and am editing now... I think the asker has abandoned the site, but, I think I know what they are asking.
hmmm, another strange pay-scheme attached to an indie game bundle → indieroyale.com
like the humble bundle, but instead of having to "beat the average" to get bonuses you can pay over the odds to make it cheaper for other people (or, if you don't, eventually make it cost more)...
I'm considering getting an SSD drive to run as the primary OS partition. As I understand, this should provide a substantial improvement in performance. My question is this: Should I leave the swap file on that drive? The swap partition will be largely random seeks and so should benefit from t...
TL;DR version: Let Windows handle your memory/pagefile settings. The people at MS have spent a lot more hours thinking about these issues than most of us sysadmins.
Many people seem to assume that Windows pushes data into the pagefile on demand. EG: something wants a lot of memory, and there is ...

I've been hearing a lot of hype about the SSDs recently. I'm planning to buy a new machine as soon as Windows 7 gets released. My question is are SSDs worth the money on a new Windows 7 Laptop?
Later today, I'll look into compiling a SU hosted pagefile answer to match the one at SF. I could of sworn @TomWj something or William had written a pretty good one that included paged pool memory and all that good stuff. But the SF one is good because it also has a link to Eric Lippert's post about virtual memory vs mapped memory vs physical memory and OS memory management from a native coder's perspective

I think letting those who register have a 15-rep bonus which would allow them to upvote would help a lot. Upvoting is addictive.
