One Year Of OpenOffice

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-a-burpy-baby-you-have dept.

no parity writes "Last year on October 13, much of the source to Sun's StarOffice was released as the OpenOffice project. They have set up a birthday page to celebrate what they have achieved in that one year - yes, it prints, spellchecks and has online help. Keep up the good work, guys!" Yep - and my installation still spits up, too. *grin*

      Could you please stop posting inane comments? You surely noticed the way your karma is so low that you're posting at 0 automatically; that's because you squat threads making stupid comments that you expect to be modded +1, funny. If you have nothing to say (read: nothing intelligent to say) don't say anything at all. People don't get karma to post with a +2 bonus by saying the kind of stuff you do. Notice your .sig? It's likely to get you less upmods as well, because it sounds stupid.

      Basically you're trying too hard. In fact, it's hard to tell if you're trying to troll or karmawhore...whichever it is, you're not doing a good job of either.

      Just a few tips, don't take it personally, and moderators, I did you the favour of not posting with a +1 bonus--go find someone more worthy of a -1, flamebait ;P

    KDE turns 5 years today.

    "...on October 14th, 1996, Matthias Ettrich delivered his famous newsgroup posting (also HTMLized), and spawned a new era in the history of desktop environments. I think that a simple look at www.kde.org and all its related sites will show everybody just what has happened in the last five years. Congratulations to KDE, and here's to future growth and success!"

    Moderators on crack again? You're not entirely unaccountable, oh ye insane modders. If I get this in metamod it's going back to +1; I mean, it's not exactly insightful or even informative, but it's hardly offtopic.
