Lawyer Moglen has presented the case for dynamic linking under GPL2 and honestly concluded that it is not clear. He and SFLC accepted dynamic linking, SFC did not and started a war.

I personally got the impression that the fanatics are on SFC side. The pragmatics can only support SFLC. Their position makes everything easier and no freedom is lost with it.

The trademark fight is not the real issue. The two parties should sit down and talk.

The SFConservancy's reply is B. Kuhn's reply and is a classical example of non-denial denial. The SFLawCenter was trying for years to talk to them over a wide range of issues and not simply about a name.

They coulnd't talk because Kuhn was soo busy. Well, I guess he will have to find the time to appear in court and answers a few questions. It smells of bastards as far as I'm concerned.

The whole point of OO is that it lets you load a MS Word document. Once loaded, you can get the text onto the clipboard and paste it into a text editor.

Nobody will hinder you to save a document from MS Word or OO or LibreOffice as text file.

It took an electoral law that gave second place to the first past-the-post by 2.8m votes.

Thanks, Elon Musk, the answer to trolling is trolling.

The word 'afternoon' does not exist in Spanish nor does the concept exist in Spanish minds. They eat between 3-5 p.m.

Ten years ago it was freedom of choice. Next excuse please.

The issue is all those click objects dispersed on the page. Get rid of them with a browser that has a toggle to switch positioning on/off. e.g. Opera 12.17.

You might be able to write a little js routine for your browser doing the same.

Please, please tell the world how you managed to overcome the overlay scrollbars, the fading scrollbars, the persistent notification clouds on the desktop, the non-menu and other Cinnamon amenities. I failed.

There seems to be hope that OpenOffice will disappear and leave the field to LibreOffice.

However, LibreOffice has a terrible name and is not alone, you will see occasionally LibreThis and LibreThat.

The issue is that 'free' in Engish may point to free as in beer and free as in freedom.

Please, Slashdot, collect suggestions from readers for a new name. Methinks LibreOffice should morph to FreedomOffice.

The Germans are ahead in the curve. They have e-bikes and pedelecs. Pedelecs do have a battery which is only engaged and helpful if you push yourself on the pedals. Pedelecs wastly outnumber e-bikes. Max. speed 25 kmph is rarely attained.

How do you toggle javascript on/off? How do you toggle style sheets on/off? How do you disable positioning?

Fuck you, Vivaldi.

Linux Mint Cinnamon was a bubble waiting to burst. Bursting it did last week in an oblique way. If you want Cinnamon, install it under Debian or Ubuntu.

The ntfs-3g driver to read and write to NTFS from Linux is built-in into the kernel.
