what more does one need?;-) The ability to have it read by Windows machines so you can send it digitally to your professor? My professors only accept online submissions and they must be doc files.
If you look at the context, God commanded the Israelites to wipe out the tribes in Israel less than 50 years after He gave them the commandments. It certainly wouldn't be the first contradictory thing in the Bible.
So now of course you'll say that those laws are wrong, and it really is murder in those cases. While I will I'll also call it murder when the US government does it as well;) I'm not a Christian.
That's the ubuntu one, whereas we were talking about the Novell one (I don't know if the ubuntu one is based off the Novell one). Although its good to see someone created a converter and released it under an open license.
This is because OOo is integrated together (which many here do see as a bad thing when Microsoft does it but do remain silent when OOo does it. Perhaps they just don't read OOo articles). It means that recently opened documents is the same in all of the OOo products. I like this interoperability as I can directly open Writer documents from the Calc window and is a feature I'll miss when I move to KSpread instead. However it does mean that file extensions are important.
I'm finding I'm more inclined to click on ads served locally or served by small ad "companies" that specialize in particular topics. I only ever click on Google Ads by accident.
You can find hundreds of eBay and Paypal horror stories on people receiving empty boxes, boxes with other things inside, unable to cancel fradulent transactions without jumping through hoops, etc. This is why I only buy from a handful of sites (Amazon, Fictionwise). I simply don't trust the internet enough to buy from too many sources, and I've never bought from Ebay. Not only do I prefer to buy stuff for slightly more money and possibly much better condition, you never know when someone will send you a bad product.
I've heard the problem doesn't exist in the Windows version so you shouldn't feel any loss of credibility as OOo doesn't have this problem in Windows and handles the issue in Linux much better then Microsoft Office does.
Hey that's great news, thanks for the heads up. A shame it isn't licensed under the GPL as far as I could tell as they say it only works under openSUSE (I'm not sure if that's true or simply trying to save themselves hassles of using it under other Distros where it may or may not work) and an open license could allow others to tweak it to work in other distros.
you'd be thinking that it is nice that this free project is being improved (not to mention released in the first place) Actually it isn't free. Its developed by both paid and volunteer coders so that Sun can have good PR as well as free developers for their proprietary StarOffice. While its nice of those volunteer workers to give away their time to both a free and non-free product, the ones in charge are certainly not doing this out of the niceness of their heart. So there is no need to be grateful to Sun for OOo or even think its nice of them. Would you think it nice that Microsoft produced a new version of Office?
I don't think 'thou shalt not kill' ever refered to anything except humans. Otherwise, all the Christians that are eating meat will have some serious explaining to do. Modern Christians say its actually thou shalt not murder with legally sanction killing being permissible. So yes, even humans can be killed.
To try to change this from simply a troll to a constructive post, why not mention the things they coded wrong this time? I'll start: * Not having a user definable number of columns (instead sticking with the old 256).
I think this is a great idea. It allows for more choice for website owners and advertisers, but this sounds absolutely dreadful to me as a website viewer who actually displays ads (when displaying such ads doesn't compromise my security/privacy). Google was always hailed for ONLY producing non-obtrusive text ads. They've since moved to graphical ads and so they're one big advantage has been lost. Google is now no longer any different from any other advertising agency.
I'll certainly be avoiding all websites that make use of these obtrusive ads in obtrusive ways.
It seems to go one step further: YouTube videos with these ads will be automatically placed on websites depending on keywords, etc. So not only does a website creator have automatic ads on their site, they have automatic YouTube videos on their sites as well.
I was quite impressed with openSUSE doing something very similar for DIVX codecs. I've tried installing DIVX codecs in Windows in the past and I still don't know if they work 100% or not. Its great to see Linux overtaking Windows in this regard.
but for anyone else it is. No it isn't. I just installed openSUSE 10.3 and I nexted my way through it with no problems. Alternatively everyone I know pays extra to have Windows installed onto their computers because they can't handle the drivers nightmare that it is.
Slashdot Mirror
I RTFA and it didn't mention whether or not it was released under GPL v2 or v3. Does anyone know?

Calc is an excellent flatfile database program. Sometimes the simplest tools are the best tools.
Not all of us know how. I certainly don't.

Have you tried changing the file extensions in Microsoft products? It can be downright impossible.

October 9. I'll change it. And yup, that means I've had it less then a day.

The vendors won't be able to pay for the crapware in the new computer if they use an old Windows CD though.

Try 2001 (for Windows users. I don't know what Linux, Apple or any other OS companies were like in 1994).
I bought a new computer today for myself and installed openSUSE 10.3 on it. It gave me 0 errors or problems running it.
Aaah okay. I was thinking he meant he can understand why criminals wouldn't publish photos of themselves because it would get them caught.
