In my case, it was a Word document created in Word, saved (repeatedly) in Word which caused Word to crash (All the same version of Word). Fortunately LibreOffice could open it, and Word didn't crash on the resaved document.

Not quite. ICS had almost seamless support for the "move to SD" model of app management, but it still got confused if you ejected any card (even one that didn't hold any apps).

My Nexus 7 (with JB) isn't partitioned at all.

Check if it's caching the calendar feeds. If it is, turn the caching off. That should solve the lock-ups.

sorry. posting to cancel cack-handed moderation

I emailed him when Magnatune went subscription-only (I'd bought a dozen albums prior to that), with a bit of a moan that I could no longer buy per-album. I was astonished when I got a reply from him, setting out why he'd taken Magnatune down the route he had.

As you say, cool.

Is that where they whisper the modulus to you?

I wrote my thesis in Word (97, I think). There's a Master Document option so each chapter was its own individual file; equations used the default equation editor, and headings and table/figure numbering (and the tables of content, figures & tables) all used the standard Word facilities.
That said, all my figures were created elsewhere, and imported as EMFs (for vector graphics) or PNGs; and I used Endnote for the reference handling.
Since then, I've used Word's own referencing system. This turns out to be adequate if you:

1. only write in a linear fashion, or
2. never add cross-references, or
3. don't care about [14] cropping up before [5]

The stock browser on my Android phone (2.1, which is Eclair, right?) has scroll 'indicators' which appear (right and/or bottom of the screen) when I move the view, showing where and what fraction of the overall canvas my viewport displays. After I've stopped moving the viewport, they disappear. (Of course, in true /. tradition, I've not RTFA)

Yes, but I can't send the Commission to its bedroom to think about how it chooses to communicate with me.

even for someone who wants a full Linux stack, is: 'Can I play Angry Birds on it?'

Where I work, a rule was recently introduced whereby holiday requests would only be authorised for an employee if their timesheet submissions were up to date. So now we can book our holidays in January and ignore timesheets until next year.

My memory upgrade was from 8MB to 24MB, on a Pentium 75 running Windows 95. The difference was astounding.

If the group is set up at a University, odds are it's on JANET. Those are big pipes (our connection was 155 Mb/s several years ago).

Why, yes, of course. (Just the first two I thought of.)

That part of your statement applies equally to USB 2 cables.

Cat 6 network cables are good for 10GbE, and they can be quite long.

I'll concede the different use case (and the price of 10GbE NICs) though.
