And at $40 per seat on average, toilets are much cheaper than Word.
I agree with your assessment of toilet seats being cheaper than Microsoft seat licenses but shouldn't we wait until Microsoft releases a study on the total cost of ownership between toilets and Microsoft Office?
Does anybody really want to keep this format going? Let Microsoft do whatever the hell they want and focus on moving people to open source one person at a time.
Seriously, how hard is it to catch a story when it breaks? Besides, there are legal limits to how powerful of a signal you can send up. Interested customers would serve themselves better by continuing to chat with the aliens that regularly examine them with the anal probe thingy.
Yes. Spent a year phasing OpenOffice into my business. The dealbreaker has always been the database. What I do with productivity software is simple--I write documents and work on spreadsheets. What I love about OpenOffice is that I can give my clients pdf versions of my documents. No worries about the rogue client that wants to play with the numbers to make a point. Furthermore, having a pirated copy of Microsoft Office is completely out of line with my beliefs (Buddhism) so I wanted it gone but I couldn't afford to just roll completely into OpenOffice. With the 2.0 beta, it's "good enough" and Microsoft Office is completely eradicated. I don't necessarily appreciate the flippant attitude of OpenOffice bug report managers. In fact, I think they're complete assholes but I know how to work around stuff like "xls file loads as Writer/web page". The problem is, regular people don't and will simply not use OpenOffice if they come across stupid anomalies.
Then why are people modding it up as Insightful instead of Funny? The case for sarcasm is weak.
Moderators smoke crack. That's a law of Slashdot. As for "insightful verses funny" just consider that some people find humor to be more insightful than somebody on a soapbox.
Why do assclowns like you continue to suggest injury and malice for Bill Gates? First, he has not physically injured anybody. Second, just chill out. Nobody is stopping you from using Linux. In fact, SuSE 9.2 is a superb distribution with tons of drivers for all your equipment.
Yes, Billion Dollar Bill (TM) does some annoying things through Microsoft but exactly what qualifies as deserving an accidental slice from a sword? I don't find violence funny in the least. Grow up.

Great troll. I'll have to use that on somebody sometime.
You must be confusing the real legal system with Hollywood.
That's pretty much how I feel when I read about nanotechnology. Or just about everything written in Wired News.

Toilets. I believe toilets are as ubiquitous as Microsoft Word.

It's a wonderful day... FOR DOOM!
Please... 17 years of silence at Slashdot would do everyone some good.

Well... you're a crackhead. :)
I hope Ohio nails BuyEssex, DakMart, sell2all and a few others... it's early in the morning.

No. Seriously. It was sarcasm. Perhaps you have never read a flamebait comment before?
I know it will confuse people who think BioForge is the open source biology organization but the game came first from Origin.

The red states have terminally defective genes.
You proved my theory that Canadians are idiots.

GREAT SCOTT!
If you were an investor, your opinion would be different. They bought free code. Brilliant.
BSD is not dead! It's merely dying.
