My experience with it is that it segfaults opening the one Word document that I need to edit on a regular basis. Office XP Pro and Office 2003 Pro handle the document just fine though.
So, what's the bug number of your report on bugs.openoffice.org? Have you attached a sample of the doc that crashes OO? This is how open source software improves - give a little back and (eventually) things get better. You don't have to be a developer to contribute.
At a guess, did your problem document have embedded form fields? OO 1.1.3 seems to have fixed this problem.
Which makes me wonder. Is there a telnet machine somewhere where we can access the CeeFax info? It would be interesting to see what they're pushing over the airwaves.
Is there a version for those of us not stuck in the dark ages? The first few paragraphs talk of pounds, ounces and degrees Farenheight and horses walking 1/16th of an inch etc.; my head's swimming...
My point was to use a stereotype to poke fun at a random stranger, thereby bolstering my own sense of self-worth by deflecting attention away from my own, numerous insecurities and enormous sense of inadequacy. This is quite common on slashdot; people usually get modded up for it. Hope you didn't take it personally...
With a patent it is irrelevent if you use their tools, or information from them.
If you substantially duplicate a patent you are in violation of it. Regardless of how

Don't know about Ceefax, but Aertel (Ireland's equivalent) has a web interface: http://www.rte.ie.nyud.net:8090/aertel/index.html

Er, no, actually. What's your point?

it's like saying "Austria" when you mean "Australia".
Let me guess, born in the US and lived there your whole life?
A friend of mine, on a student visa in the US in the mid 90's, mentioned to someone (a USian) that she was from Ireland. "Oh, did you drive over?"
"The days of engineering-led technology companies are coming to an end," Mr. Dell declared.

The NT(2000/XP) kernel has had the ability to run other native applications for a while.
Certainly, it's really at home in heterogenous environments such as Win95/Win98/Millenium/NT/2000/XP.
these people are well aware that the crap their precious pet spreads around may very well kill someone on the spot.
Whereas your stupid invective will just piss them off on the spot.
I think they just came up with the missing part:
1. Write free software
2. Ask for developers on Slashdot to share the pain with you
3. Profit!!
Um, surely you mean
1. Write free software
2. Ask for developers on Slashdot to share the pain with you
3. Pain
OK, Dumb Question: Why doesn't it short out easily?
Uh, it like, uses technology, or something.
These parachutes can be deployed at high-speed without self-destructing or putting unacceptable loads on the nuclear weapon.
"Nuculear", it's pronounced "nuculear".

Only if you try to make money from it.
What the hell is the fundamental difference between an IM bot and an IRC bot?
And what the hell is the fundamental difference between a bot and a shell? How about a shell accessed over a network? Telnet? Rsh?
I will not run software that endanger my computor.
I guess that includes spell checkors?
