Actually it was only the Democrats all along. They then impersonated the Republicans so if you weren't suckered into their first call, you'd at least think the Republicans are just as bad.
The small problem with my assertion is that it COULD be true and there's no way to know whether or not it is. One party, or even both (or just about ANYONE for the online ones), could be joe jobbing a particular party and no-one will know.
Aaaah. I thought he meant quality of the music itself, rather then the quality of the music file.
Although its interesting to see people say how they demand DRM-less music (all the while pirate mp3s) and then demand DRM-less music in a high quality file format (all the while pirating mp3s). I'm guessing some people just want an excuse to pirate and will never be happy.
Amen! I'm over in the UK and I'm just waiting for Amazon or Yahoo or someone to start selling me quality downloads. Amazon already does, at least as high quality as they can get with going mostly indie (as most labels won't distribute their music DRM-less).
However, it still doesn't explain to me why a ground-up rewrite is needed instead of, say, a highly customisable interface plus bug-fixing. Sometimes a ground-up rewrite can be less time consuming. I've seen professional commercial developers do this when necessary.
Aaah thanks. A
would have helped after his name;) I thought Buedwijn Rempt was some sort of codename for the next KOffice Release (which seemed odd as everyone is calling to KOffice 2.0)
Hallelujah! I'll definitely be giving KOffice a chance then (and at the very least using the apps of it that I like).
Boudewijn Rempt, KOffice Release Dude I know the meaning of three of the words, but I'm unsure what you're saying.
Exactly every Microsoft Office product has been buggy and had its quirks (OOo also has bugs as well as lacking certain features that Microsoft Office has). Its GUI also isn't intuitive at times and can be difficult to remember how to use after long breaks. Until an Office Suite comes out that doesn't have these problems, we'll continue to need more office suites. And after these problems are finally dealt with (if ever), I imagine more features will be thought up.
This mantra about "competition is good" misses the point that (a) you need lots of (working) features before you get a decent Office software package and (b) the task to be done is well-known and hasn't changed for years. Right, but there's a small problem in your logic. KOffice was first released in 1998, 2 years before OOo would be released in an OSS license. OOo was instead created (first as simply a writer program) in 1984 under a proprietary license and was only released as OSS in 2000. So here the obvious choice wouldn't be to have people develop OOo but instead KOffice as it was around in a OSS format earlier. However the advantage to using OOo instead of KOffice was Sun got people to develop their proprietary StarOffice for free (and still do) and it also allowed a new OSS office suite on a mature codebase (whether or not it was better then KOffice at the time I do not know).
All my reports are readable by Windows machines (you may have heard of PDF files).
As for.doc: bad idea. Professionally, anyway If they demanded I send it in hex I'd do it. Whatever the person marking my grades wants they get. I don't want to piss them off when they're going to decide what my mark is.
Why not focus on really perfecting Open Office? Because for a lot of people the big point of the GPL is ensuring your code is never used in non-open source software. To work on OOo you must allow your code to be employed in StarOffice, a closed source program.
I've never heard of such a thing and I've used Word all my life (just checked and sure enough there it is). I've always put stuff on its own page and printed those page(s).
Whenever I hear KOffice or KMail I do not think of K-Mart. Guess it isn't as ingrained as you think. It'd be like saying GMail is a bad name because it makes people think of gangsters.
Unfortunately OOo supports Office 2007 (via plugins) while KOffice currently doesn't and isn't going to support it natively. So unless KOffice also gets its own plugin, people will be stuck with installing wither both KOffice and OOo or just OOo.
There's also the punitive damages for infringing on someone's copyright. If a thief steals something they don't have to simply return the item or pay how much it cost, they go to jail. As this was a civil case she got fined instead. Don't infringe on someone's copyright if you don't want to suffer the fines.

Best goatse post ever! Bonus points for not including the .cx (or any alternaitve). We've had just about enough goatse posts, .cx or any other types.

Only if Slashdot becomes the next host for voting machines.
In that case you may wish to edit your preferences to remove entries in the Idle category from the main page.
There is no inconsistency. However by moving the goal posts each time they're reached simply reveals the true motives.
After the file format is changed the excuse will be the music itself isn't good enough to pay for.

Sounds like a great excuse to let white men who murder black men to get away with it. Although I'm sure that would NEVER happen.

What about a Vector graphic editing tool? All tools I've seen except for Flash deal with raster graphics only.

Hey, isn't that a bit like IE on Windows?
Thanks. A straight forward answer to a straight forward question.

At least it doesn't have a URL for a name.

I say that because Linus has said he doesn't mind GPL v3 (his problem was with earlier drafts).
