LO is great for my needs, but I am not a giant organization.
I really doubt that LO can fulfill the needs of the Austrian
AF in the long term.

I think that the power users who need advanced features, like pivot
tables, can buy the "high end" software. It's a sick market if everyone
on the planet thinks that they need the one product because they must be compatible with everyone else.
Word processors and spreadsheets are mature technologies. Their
development was, mostly, paid-for decades ago. Thanks to FOSS, we need
not go on paying for them forever.
The armed forces of Austria (which is not in NATO) will switch
from Micro$lop Office to LibreOffice (LO):

Australia's Air Force is a joke anyway; it isn't real. The 14,000 people
who are in it are just cos-playing and trying to be funny and act silly to get attention and a paycheck.
Their local kangaroo's get more air time just from jumping high than most
of the Australian Air Force. Let's get real here. A kangaroo can jump almost 8 foot high from a complete standstill. That is amazing and much better than the Australian Air Force can achieve.

Noticed the same thing.
LO does not have a database per se, but it allows interfacing
to external databases. However, the LO database forms (i.e. GUI)
interface is admittedly very clunky.
I am not condemning LO but its roots are ancient, having been
a clone of StarOffice way back in the 1990's. All attempts since
then have essentially been a spackling over a crumbling edifice.

Now get back to your M$ laptop. For you, it's a marriage
made in heaven.

This is very good idea, but tell me: Why they prohibit to use SQLite?!?
There are even more questions:
Why LO main GUI widgets are not accessible via shared libs.?
Why LO scripting libs. are not fully documented (even in eng.)?!?
That flaws mean one thing: This is next free or open malicious project.
Who do such mean thing?!? The answer is on the main donor list (which is keep in secret and hide deep in safe). Remember: "Who pay, he demand."
and: "Who pay, he decide."

LibreOffice Base works fine with SQLite, as it does with MySQL (to
those IrCOve tried).
It also has its own built-in DBMS back-end, if you donrCOt want to use an external one.
<https://api.libreoffice.org/> not enough for you

I must reinstall my LO due to 'government/ethic crackers' which block LO Base in my Kubuntu.But after that I do 2 screenshots:

None of these lists contain SQLite.

Ahh, I stand corrected.EfyaN+A Regardless, it's probably not wise to take any
move by Austria as any indication of what may or may not be the wave of
the future.
As Austrians like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Paul Hogan may say when you visit their country, which is admittedly laid back and cool, just put another shrimp on the barbie, mate.
Their Air Force using LO or Microsoft Office is not a story, really, no
one cares. As Adolf Hitler, a native son of Australia, used to say when
he was caught in the din of battle, "Get To The Choppa."

Speaking of Australians, did you realize that there were two
governers-to-be in the movie _Predator_?
ObLinux: I used ImageMagick today to convert a pdf to an image, sign it,
then convert it back. Then I used gnupg to sign the document and sent
it off to be processed. Ain't technology neeto?

You're still a cheap fuck, not supporting FOSS with your money,
voluntary payments are a good thing dumbass.
There's nothing reallyconsumer will seek out and be fine using. It can get more difficult in
wrong with commercial software either, I just don't always prefer it, I
like LO for what it is, not just because it's FOSS, but it's good that
it is.Sure. There's some great FOSS products out there, which a well informed
Farley's just looking for any excuse to garner attention, which includes debasing themselves.

Now he thinks that he is some sort of psychological expert.
Is it any wonder that he chooses to post his bullshit to COLA where he
will encounter no professional cross examination?
