  1. Re:Depends on price - what would you pay? on Sun to Charge for Star Office 6.0 · · Score: 1

    *Value-adds I wouldn't mind paying for if they're bundled: Professional clipart, professional templates, multiple language dictionaries - all those would be a good start.*

    I feel the same way. Clipart, good templates, and good dictionaries would be a value add that would make Star Office worth the money. And if you are willing to do without, Open Office is the alternative.

    I'd be willing to pay what Sun charged for StarOffice 5.2. $40 to $50 retail. Still way cheaper than MS Office.

  2. Clockless Processors on What's Next in CPU Land after Itanium? · · Score: 1, Troll

    As long as processors are limitted by a clock speed, they are being held back. Asynchronous processors would cause other problems with the rest of the system hoever, data bits crashing in the mobo circuitry and the like.

    Now if we had fiberoptic mobo's and circuit boards, holographic RAM, and figured out a permanent storage solution replacing hard drives that used optics for storage and data transfer, the rest of the system might stand a chance of keeping up.
