Run it once as root, and then run it as a user after, for some reason that fixed it for me.
I have the same comment as most, how can they take software and make it so slow? By the time it loads, I either forgot what I was working on, or lost interest, both of which are very detrimental to schoolwork.
I have had quite a few crashes with it, as well. Saving seems to produce errors more often than not, esp when saving as a word document. Also, the tables are a little messed up. If you want to insert a new row, it will have the same alignment as the row above it, no matter what..say for example you want a table with 8 columns. If you merge two cells together in one of those rows and try to make a new row, there is *no* way to split the cells back up again. Very annoying.
As for the feature voting, I vote that they are all removed. I can run ms office XP on my computer without a problem at all, but when I go into linux and run openoffice, it would be quicker to just draw all the letters of my document in gimp.
Just my 2 cents
Computer Engineering Major?

CS vs CIS

· Score: 1
I'm a freshmen at WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute), and I decided to major in computer engineering, so I wouldn't be just another CS Major. CE is actually just electrical engineering with a concentration in computers, at least here, anyway.
I was wondering, from a students aspect, as well as from possible employers aspects, what they think of this major. I know already that it is significantly more difficult than CS, and I wonder if it's worth the extra work, and the electrical background that it gives me.
What if companies who promised that they were "linux compatible" are forced to agree to release the hardware specs and API under GPL? Even if the drivers and "support" that they provided sucked, it would still be completely possible to support the device, so long as it's not too reliant on it's software. Having open specs like that would be good for the market anyway, might allow consumers to actually have an idea what it is they are paying for:-)

Did anybody find an mp3 of this song? I've been searching for it, but can't find it.
