Not to mention that Ubuntu has LibreOffice pre-installed, so none of those users have a reason to download LibreOffice...
Just the same for OpenOffice.org
Comment: The Developer did not Know the Progress (Score 1) 736
The answer is simple: the developer responsible for the progress bar did not actually know the progress she program the progress bar.
During development, getting the work done has a much higher priority than the progress bar. After development, fixing functional bug has a much higher priority. After bug fixing, launching is has a much higher priority. After all, there are priority 2 or 3 bugs, who will care priority 4 bugs?
BTW, the progress bar I liked most reached 30000% and the job still not complete.

It stands for Critical Patch Update.
And Oracle seems gradually renaming to Security Patch Update (SPU), which will inevitably causing confusion with their Patchset Update (PSU).

Forbes said: "CS2 is not new by any standards — it was first released in April 2005 — but it’s still a fantastic offer and capable of some serious work. And when the cost is just the time it takes to download it, it’s a real bargain." The latest version, CS6, was released in May 2012.

So you meant Oracle can't handle 'select for update' properly. This sounds like a really BIG disccovery to me. Consistence and transaction management have always been considered big strength of oracle. Any reference?

That doesn't mean nothing. That means the quality of patents are decreasing, i.e., more and more rubbish patents were issued.

These are university courses.
These are not university courses. They are provided by a university, and provide (a subset or) the same content of a university course and possibly same assignments. However, you get no credit. Instead, they give some form of statement of accomplishment Maybe one day some such organization (e.g., udacity) will become university, but not yet.
