    Ha! 'Tis only a flesh wound ...

  2. Re:99% of non-techie readers would say "open what? on OpenOffice Tops 21% Market Share In Germany · · Score: 1

    Anyone with Sun's Java on their system gets an advert for Open Office every time it's updated - Every few months I get several people ask me what it is, and I tell them it's (usually) good enough for their purposes, and morally superior to that knocked off copy of MS Office they "borrowed" from work. Some have converted, but the rest have simply just carried on with "what everybody else uses" - but without paying for it.

    It really doesn't matter what browser they use, they will still copy unencrypted data onto CDs and then put them in the post, send unencrypted emails to each other, leave laptops and memory sticks on the train or if that fails, stand in front of photographers with confidential information showing. The 'Chinese' (or whoever) really don't need to bother with browser attacks.

  4. Re:It's CUE on Denmark Chooses OpenDocument Format · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Forgive me, but I'm a native Englishman and I'm patient enough to pass on a little education. Think of a performance; E.g. Cue the music, maestro. Cue the record, DJ. Yes it's similar to "a queue", but the implication of the word "cue" is to set things up ready to release the pause button on the tape deck ... yes, yes I am that old! In my day we used a chinagraph pencil to make a mark on the tape which we aligned to the tape head - a cue mark. { While I'm in teacher mode, please do NOT use the non-word Walla! It's really a French word: Voila! } Thanks for listening!
