Maybe make logs of downloading the same file at the same time from two separate ISPs? This wouldn't work if the other ISP is a reseller that is also getting throttled, though.

What other ebook readers are out there that use an e-ink display? There has to be more than the Kindle and the Iliad. Something cheaper that can at least display PDFs and text files would be nice.

It's a nice thought, though.

Re:Easily predictable:

-Governments switch to OOo because it is cheaper and they "know" that whomever they send the files to will be able to read them.

It says that your file may contain formatting that cannot be saved to .doc (right above a little "do not show me this warning again" checkbox)

Re:Not embrace and extend, but embrace and squeeze

On: Microsoft Office 2007 to Support ODF - But Not OOXML

Somehow I don't feel that you will be able to open an .odf made in Word with OpenOffice and there will be no "artifacts" or some loss of formatting, and vice versa of course. Seeing as it is an XML file, it should be vastly simpler to reverse-engineer than the binary .doc

Now that I know MS office can read ODF I can safely make and send them out with out worrying. So naive...
