If you understand the punchline but don't think it's funny, do you actually get the joke? Good question.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Indeed: but do you have an answer to my question? I am curious. For instance: "I used to think an ocean of soda existed, but it was just a Fanta sea." If you don't know what Fanta is, you can't get
the joke.
Were there any that did make you laugh?

I did. I get the jokes, they aren't funny.
Fanta Sea? That makes you laugh?
Granted, if my 6 year old was telling me these jokes, I would laugh.

It really doesn't appear so.

Do you know the reference?

If your 6 year old was telling these jokes he/she should go to Edinburgh and book a gig - they'd make money.
Anyway, you don't understandBrit humor: that's okay: few Americans are sophisticated enough to do so.

It would be for Americans.

Nice try. You've already embarrassed yourself claiming those were jokes, now your digging your hole deeper.

Actually, as per usual, you have that aśś-backwards. Those are jokes (not all good, of course). You just have no sense of humor (long proven by your posts). Mus be like living with a stale loaf.

Where do I ask a question here on CodeProject about LibreOffice ?
|
|
|
|
|
I think you have two options:
1. here in the lounge if the question is not a programming thing.
2. in the q&a.
|
|
|
|
|
Okay, if this is the wrong place to ask, I'll cancel it, or invite the mods to move it.
Here's the question...
LibreOffice Question...
I tried to open a file.
The file was fine last night.
This morning I get this messasge
==================CLIP================================
LibreOffice 4.3.3.2
Read-Error.
Format error discovered in the file in sub-document content.xml at position 2,604924(row,col).
==================CLIP================================
What do I do now ?
|
|
|
|
|
Have you tried opening the file in such a way that you can view the .xml in question? notepad.
This is really a Q&A question. Once you ask there, you will then be notified to use Google.
|
|
|
|
|
The suggestions are good given the kind of question... never used this software so I don't know what to do apart of asking Mr. Google...
Doing that gives that[^] feedback that, given your error message it looks like it is easily what is happening here...
take a look into it and let's see...

LibreOffice the software? Ugh, possibly the lounge or Uncategorized.
LibreOffice as to its code I'd go for the relevant language forum.

Feel 'Libre' to ask your 'Office' questions here.
At home, we use OpenOffice and are generally pleased with it; I understand LibreOffice is a fork from it.

Well, quite. I imagine the OP thinks that now too!

Switched from OpenOffice to LibreOffice and have not been disappointed.
Good luck with your questions.

I want a document format that: when I distribute copies of the document to others:
0. will only "work" (open, be readable) on the computers of those I have sent it to who have a working password. i.e., if you were able to copy it onto another computer, it would not "work" even if you had the correct password.
Requires people with drafts/copies to have internet access, and, when the document is opened, an "authorization exchange" between their computer and a server I control will determine whether the document. No internet access, no document access.
a. has "atomic elements" (text, images) that are copy-able or un-copy-able, editable, or un-editable.
b. content can annotated by the user in some interesting way: the annotations are, then, automatically posted to an archive on my server ... either as created, or when the document is closed.
c. if my server sends the right whatever down the wire when the user opens the document, the document will essentially "destroy" itself: content and structure rendered unusable.
d. the document can be time-limited, and will self-destruct as in 'c. after a certain date.
e. will embed a digital watermark allowing its source to be traced back to an individual or computer.
f. all of the above must not "feel oppressive" to the end-user.
g. has to work on Win, IOS, and Android.
In spite of the above "stipulations," I recognize what's described here... unless done to military-spec encryption and, perhaps, hardware dongle levels of whatever ... can be defeated by someone dedicated enough. Of course, I also recognize the virtual impossibility of preventing screen-shots which could then be run through OCR software to resurrect viable text, etc.
My thoughts are that the only way most of this could be implemented would involve having an installer that created a "hardware hash" key based on the user's cpu, hard-drive, etc., during installation and then sent that up to the server. The server would then use that to "water-mark" each document, and the reader app would send that hash to the server when the reader was opened ... the server would then send back a message that would control "document state."
Why would I want such a document application/format ? To prevent accidental copying and forwarding of content, for example. To prevent possible plagiarism when sharing original creative work. More seriously, I can see a need for this in certain "intellectual property" scenarios.
I confess complete ignorance of what's possible in this "arena" using tools like Acrobat and MS Word, at this point in time.
Is the seed-idea for your next million dollar$ waiting for you, lurking in this excursion into Orwellian fantasia ?
Will you at least buy me a latte when you cash in ?
cheers, Bill

Please take a look to the Harvard study cases for Economics and Management Engineering. They use a client that even block screen captures (which I bypassed anyway, VNC is the way) and the corresponding format. It also charges money for printing.
When I attended courses at my local University (Polytechnic University of Turin) we also had a similar client to freely access books that were otherwise to be bought.
I can't be more specific due to Internet access restrictions of my company (long live the Direction!).

There is a protection API that all the MS Office applications and Adobe PDF viewer called "Information Rights Management".[^]
It works well enough at preventing emailing/printing/accidental disclosure but, of course, can be circumvented by someone with a camera phone and OCR software.
