City Of Austin Migrating To OpenOffice.org
An anonymous reader writes "NewsForge.com has a story up this morning about the City of Austin and the results of their pilot program on OpenOffice.org. The bottom line is this: they have found that more than 80% of the city's 5K desktops can use OO.o instead of MS Office. Let the migrations begin!"

Would that be the steers, or the queers?
First post
First, First-Post....ever!
Go City of Austin go.....It is nice to see that cities are starting to think intelligently! The more cities adopting open source the better!
:-( --- argh. Despair, I owe again.
Nice job there. I fell for it. And while at work, too! Good thing no one was looking at my screen.
Someone in Texass that has brains?
OO is a great product and getting more use everywhere. If M$ goes to xml format in the next release most file migration problems will be gone.
The Home Collection, a funiture manufacturer in High Point, NC (funiture capital of the world) is now using it on all computers except one. The office help is working on that one.
A working suite with minimal bugs and no M$ tax it should be a no brainer.
Professional Politicians are not the solution, they ARE the problem.
Parent links to furry porn - very classy.
WHO the HELL modded this UP???
Balmer & Gates, you are clowns. Like we can't figure out the above post.

You are super-dogma man, all right! Way to be happy go lucky. Peace in the hood, g-man.
seems like keeping just won felonious softwar gangster in shysters requires more resources than is acceptable, & would be better used in helping to defeat unprecedented evile, instead of supporting/encouraging it?
vote with yOUR wallet.
you must be a genius, truely inspired by god- like an old testament prophet...
Who the fuck wastes their modpoints giving +1 Funny to an INFORMATIVE post? Someone who doesn't want to give metallicagoaltender the benefit of Karma? I hope you (the mod) get metamoderated down, and that someone else mods the parent appropriately.
I have invented superior data compression that is vastly superior to any other data compression available on Earth. This data compression algorithm uses word or data set matching and backwards word or data set matching and much more: such as diagonal, forward and reverse word or data set matching - much like a crossword puzzle. This idea was invented by Shampoo.
I have proceeded to create a ISO standard (International standard) for resource dedicating on computers to switch operating systems with the press of a button using multi-threading busses to have the multiple operating systems simultaneously running on the same computer. This idea was invented by Shampoo.
I have invented a Central Processing Unit design that allows failed components of the Central Processing Unit to be replaced without replacing the entire Central Processing Unit. The massive Central Processing Unit would be in a grid-like pattern and each failed quadrant of the grid could then be replaced with a new quadrant. The primary failure prone areas such as the Floating Point Unit and system Cache is designed to run on the outside of the core Central Processing Unit. Beneath the primary failure prone construction resides the backup infrastructure. Once a failure is detected the processing moves closer to the Central Processing Unit. What results is a faster computation during a failure. This schematic would allow many layers of redundancy with many higher levels where the highest level is the one that gets re-routed to a layer closer to the Central Processing Unit during a failure and then, if there was a subsequent failure, the level beneath it (which is closer to the core part of the Central Processing unit) is activated. Failed modules such as the Floating Point Unit and system Cache could be replaced while the system is running and then would be engaged to compute information. This idea was invented by Shampoo.
Soon to be outsourced to China and India, however...

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - famous pedophile Michael Jackson was found dead in his petting zoo this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly a NAMBLA icon.
This post has been modded -1 for having a pro-Bush, anti-terror perspective.
Or rather:
This post has been modded -1 for having a contradiction.

I know this is posted by an AC. But try to give me an answer for this please( as AC only). I always wonder about it when I see such trolls. So tell me what pleasure you people get when you take somebody in to such vulgar and highly offensive picture ? dont you have any other job to do rather than thinking so bad and doing such stupid things ? If you think its funny, then its just not. Atleast most of the people(other than those rabid guys like you who are more like animals rather than normal human beings).just curious!
Merry Christmas!
... irregardless of the benefits of said change.
There is no such word. The word you're looking for is regardless.
Sorry, pet peeve. Apparently I'm not alone.
