I often need to edit CSV files that will later be imported into databases. I need to reorder columns, change values, delete lines, etc. I use NeoOffice for this now - it's basically Open Office with some Mac UI stuff tweaked.
Often, though NeoOffice tries to be "helpful" and reformats fields it thinks are dates, rounds numbers to some number of…
In Windows 7 you can pin a document to a program in the taskbar. I pinned an .xls document to Calc, but when I click on the shortcut I get the following error:
soffice.bin - System Error
The program can't start because sal3.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
I got the same error…
I am having problems with my internet connection. At the moment I am on a mac and connected through a netgear wireless router. The internet connection either won't open a webpage at all or if it does it takes ages. However if I turn my VPN on the pages open at a normal speed. Also skype functions OK and I seem to be able to download files ok.…
I am searching for browser option or plugin (it will be best if it is available in Web Kit browsers,Opera or Firefox - not IE) that allows me to open several web pages when it is initially started.
For example, let's say that I have some file with settings in which I have pointed the following websites:
Google +
gmail
StackOverflow.com…
Over the past couple weeks I have gotten a lot of help from StackOverflow users on a project, and rather than keep the finished product to myself I wanted to share it unencumbered by licenses, but don't want there to be so much legwork during installation that users shy away from trying it.
I am about to post it to Github and choosing…
We are leaving VSS for TFS or any other alternatives. I'm the one who persists to go for an open source alternative like SVN. Now I'm searching for a good open source Version Control regarding following aspects:
We are in love with open source movement and cross-platform.
Could it be possible to use it with Mono, SharpDevelop and…
I've thought about this before and this topic has often steered me away from Open Source projects. Recently DotNetPanel has changed it's name to WebSitePanel and gone Open Source. The rumor mill is speculating that Microsoft is behind this.
My question (in multi-part) is quite simple. Can somebody please explain to me how…
Hi,
We wrote a simple OS X executable in objective c. It opens and runs very quickly when called.
We then put that executable into a .app bundle. When calling "open" from the command line on that bundle, or double clicking the app from the finder the "open" call can take upwards of 30 seconds to return.
This is…
Currently I am working and running my first Open-Source project and though I am quite happy how things are working so far, I have the feeling that a lot of things could be done better.
So, what books about Open-Source would you recommend me in order to help filling this gap and making things better every day? What…
I've just started following with interest the soap opera involving Oracle's acquisition of Java and the detriment of goodwill it seems to have generated in the open source community. Specifically, I'm now trying to get my head around the implications of Oracle's decision to refuse Apache an open source license for…
For the last decade, I have repeatedly, in my imitable
Microsoft fan boy style, offered an alternative view to commonly held beliefs
about Microsoft's stance on open source licensing. In earlier times, leading figures in
Microsoft were very vocal in resisting the idea that commercial licensing is
outmoded or…

This post is a little late since the SDK was released about a week ago. At PSC we have been using the Open XML SDK 2 since its earliest beta. It is a very powerful tool for generating documents without using the Office DLLs. It is also the…
I have a server that I am trying to setup for OpenVPN. I have followed all the steps, but I see that when I try to connect to it in Windows, it doesn't allow me, it just hangs on connecting, so I did a nmap scan and I see that port 1194 is not open so naturally I append the rule to open 1194 with:
iptables -A…

I'm asking this as an opinion question. How does everyone treat email links opening in a new window if their default email client is web based?
This way? <a href="mailto:me@myemail.com">email me</a>. It will open fine for app based email clients but open in the same window for web based…
I can't get the following bash script to stay open after the first message is received from NC:
#!/bin/bash

nc -l $port | while read msg; do notify-send Alert "$msg"; done
After the first message it exits. I want it to stay open and continue monitoring for new messages from NC.

I was having a chat with a coworker who is working on a polling app and framework. He was asking technical questions and I suggested he open source the application to get more quality opinions from developers who are interested in this problem and are willing to give it heavy though.
He has a…
