...Access Copyright that allows for surveillance of faculty correspondence, defines e-mailing hyperlinks as equivalent to photocopying a document...

How can emailing a hyper-link be equivalent to photocopying? When one photocopies, they then get a physical copy of a document. On the other hand, e-mailing a hyper-link provides no such physical object.

Here's how to circumvent the insanity: Email actual documents and then argue that *no* hyper-links were emailed as required by the stipulation. How about that?

...It's also about the [short] lifespan of OLED screens, currently at about 5 years if used for a straight 8 hours per day...much less than that of LCDs, which is close to twice that.

It is also about support for the device itself, when things go wrong as they will sometimes do. On this point, I salute Samsung for 'owning' any problems I have forwarded to them in the last 3 years.

Anyone used this suite's database component? Does it come anywhere near Microsoft's JET DB with the Access front end in functionality? I mean the ability to program "business logic" into the forms.

Just last month, it was news about its best ever quarter.

Then just today, news of its stock hitting north of $500.

Again today, some site reporting that Apple's iPad3 will hit us in March.

When Apple finally fades, these pundits will be the ones saying something to the effect: -

..."They could not sustain that 'explosive' growth", or

..."We knew Android was a force to be reckoned with" or

..."With the demise of Steve Jobs Apple then lacked a visionary"...and so much other nonsense...

I say this because Apple has had a number of failed products in the past.

I am just tired of all news Apple. Am I alone?

In some cases your photo can be found even after being deleted from the index, according to the electronic frontier foundation..."

How can something that was 'deleted' still be available? Obviously, it must not have been deleted. Whoever is lying should be brought to book.

I know I [might] have opened a can of worms. My law-inclined slashdotters are going to argue that I obviously "do not understand."

And your reason(s) for Topeka would be...

Or why don't you just tell us why you're a bit confused?

Maybe that'll teach people to be more wary about random links they see.

Some people might call you a sadist, unfortunately. In my case though, I hope Slashdot will not 'force' us to use Facebook login...or whatever they call it.

This is because I do not have a Facebook account and do not intend to get one. Do not call me weird. People at work have called me names for not having a Facebook account.

Here is my reason for not having one: Having a Facebook account adds no value to me at all, save for inviting unwanted folks I have always loved to avoid into my life. Besides, I am too busy for Face-book anyway.

I hope you aren't blaming OpenOffice or LibreOffice folks for this deficiency. MS Office is closed, so any attempt to decode its formats can only go so far.

Wan to to see probems with LibreOffice's MS Office conversions? Head here for a more recent 'complaint' by one user.

Want to see to what extent close source shills will work to defeat open source implementations?

I have an example from more than half a decade ago; still relevant today as those folks are still living with the repercussions of that decision.

You took it from my mouth! Good question, but I'm also skeptical about the effectiveness of the provision below:

Here's how closed format shills will dissuade this state from helping open source software gain any meaningful foothold.

They will tout the need to inter-operate with other 'established' closed formats (which 90% of the world uses by the way), and they will have a point.

As an example, when it comes to LibreOffice's ability to read and write Microsoft Office formats with high fidelity, this open source software simply does not measure up, I am afraid.
