[dev] Re: [users] Security
Just a thought and I hope no one takes offense, but seems to me that this should be something that can be made easier or even automated for the end user. I am a software developer who has also done tech support. If I were not particularly computer savvy, most of this answer would be useless to me, namely: 1) what is a string, 2) where to get md5sum.exe, and 3) how to run it, considering that many average Windows users do not know how to use command line programs. For your consideration, I have encountered many customers of the company I work for who equate MSOffice and Windows, calling one the other and having no idea what an OS is, yet still perfectly capable of using an office document suite. To use an old analogy, it's like being able to drive a car and not having to know all the mechanics and theory under the hood (American English here) and chasis to do it. Hence the allure of the MS when they provide this security check automatically. The Linspire (flavor of Linux) software library is also a wonderfully simple model as well. For what it's worth and hoping it sparks some creative ideas in folks who are more capable than I, Matthew L. Avizinis Gleim Publications, Inc. Anthony Chilco wrote: Hi Isabelle, On the page where you downloaded the software, you should find a link to download its MD5sum. This is a string generated from the contents of the file. Using md5sum.exe, which is also freely available for download, you can generate the same string using the downloaded file as input. If they match, what you downloaded has not been corrupted or infected. If you trust the openoffice organization, then you can rest assured that it is safe.

[dev] gcc bitfields and memory access. e.g. -mtune=pentium4
This is a nasty gotcha that caught me out recently, where a bitfield comparison to unsigned char would blow up OOo during a OutputDevice::DrawText, not every time, but over the course of a medium length OOo session almost guaranteed to occur. http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25199 -mtune=pentiumpro is the default OOo gcc on ix86 build flag for OOo, and doesn't suffer from the problem, while e.g. -mtune=pentium4 which is the default for fedora 4 does. So it's not a serious general OOo problem, but one that's possibly worth knowing about. C. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is no other source, I am still working on that document. Just send me your additions in plain-text format, I will add them into the doc. The long time without updates is due to my high workload on the Excel filters. I have added some stuff in the meantime, but it is not complete yet so I didn't upload a new version.
