    Neat features include built in PDF and Flash export, better MS Office document filters and more

    So now it filters out MS Office documents better?

    Neat features include built in PDF and Flash export, better MS Office document filters and more!

    So, how well do the MS Office document filters work with procmail and spamassassin?

    "It's a lot slower than MS Office, specially on Linux".
    You've run MS-Office on Linux? It was faster? Have you tried it with one of the newer 2.5.x kernels, you may notice a speed increase.

  5. OpenOffice for Palm? by amichalo · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does/will OpenOffice have/plan to have a build for Palm OS or other (read MS) variants?

    As more mobile devices appear in business markets (particularly new growth in the medical and industrial markets) I believe it is sound to include a strategy for atleast view if not edit capabilities for these smaller than life devices.

    I, for one, could do with having my ping times halved.

    I've written a simple bash script to halve the ping times. If you want it, just send $5 and the output format of your ping-command.

    Well, changing the dictionary or turning off auto-replace isn't exactly, er, rocket science.

    You spelled Windows wrong, and it seems especially curious since your post was about how Windows actually runs this program faster than Linux.

    For this to be really fair, you should be comparing Windoze to Linsux.

    They do. [They're actually in the same class/stream as I am].

    But coming from Algonquin College means the code will be submitted in Visual Basic, only work on 1/4 windows boxes and have a slew of trivial buffer overrun errors.

    [and yes I realize that I'm a foron for going to this school too].
