Why You Should Choose MS Office Over OO.org

sander writes "As noted on linxfr.org, Microsoft has published a competitive guide on OpenOffice.org 1.1 vs Microsoft Office. Some of the weirder things they claim in it is that by choosing MS Office over OpenOffice.org one is protected from the threat of viruses. But the giant seems to be sweating -- and with a good reason."

Why *THE HOLY FUCK* has this been modded a troll? It's his opinion, it seems well informed, and well researched based on this users experienced. This is another one of those "HOW DARE HE SIDE WITH MICROSOFT!!!111oneoneone" things isnt it?

OT: ICBM guidence systems

[Stephen Samuel]

At this point, I really don't care if ICBM guidance systems work.. Consider the two possibilities:

1. They don't get used... the fact that an guidance system is bogus is pretty much an academic question
2. They do get used.. If people start launching ICBMs, I really don't care where they land... I'f I'm still alive 8 hours later, I'll be too busy, between thanking/cursing god that I'm alive and digging for survivors, to care about who "won". I expect that it will be the same no the other side, too.

Re:some stuff

[Le Marteau]

Newton, Galileo, Kepler, Dirac, Faraday, Planck, Kelvin, Maxwell and Einstein believed in God. So do I.

Belief. Ewww. Do you believe the sun will rise? No. Do you believe YOU exist? Hopefully not. Why would ANYONE 'believe' in anything, when KNOWLEDGE is available? Why do you have 'believe' in anything? Why can't you just be satisfied that 'you ARE', and you KNOW it, not just BELIEVE it, and the World, in all its Glory and Magnificenc, EXISTS and you KNOW IT! Why is than not enough for you, that you've got to 'believe' in something?

Disgusting, actually, how willingly people are ready to through out their logical faculties for a bunch of tripe. Without a doubt, the True Reality is Magnificent and certainly Holy, but why 'believe' a bunch of stories? Get a grip, my man, live as a thinking, spiritual individual and not like a superstitious primitive!

Re:your sig

[Doesn't_Comment_Code]

You didn't post with your name... but I'll respond anyway.

If you want to play logic hardball, so be it.

In order to assess a statement according to the rules of logic, it should be of the form: Statement A, therefore Statement B.

You have mistaken my sig for an assertion of this type. If you read my sig, however, you will not be able to find a "therefore" because my statment is of the form Statement A - and that's it. If you would like to disagree with my Statment A, by all means do. But don't accuse me of making a fallacious argument just because you read to much into it and misunderstood the logic. My sig is meant as a counter example to those who think that only the weak-minded beleive in God.

If you would like to argue this logic further, I would be more than happy to indulge you.
