"The LCPP is a partnership between Colorado Springs Utilities and Carrier Corporation. The LCPP allows Springs Utilities to adjust residential customers' central air conditioning thermostats upwards two to four degrees during periods of high demand for electric power (usually between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.). Thermostats may be adjusted up to 25 times each year."
About two years ago, Colorado Springs Utilities started offering something similar with an incentive. IIRC, they offered a free fancy thermostat and/or some discount. Sounds like a good idea to cut excess usage: if are not using it, turn it down.
Since Microsoft was a member of OASIS when OpenDocument when the format was standardized, people have questioned why Microsoft created its own, different format instead of adopting also OpenDocument. In any case, now Microsoft sort of supports a third-party ODF plugin.
A key benefit to PKZIP and tarballs formats is that they will be accessible for decades or hundreds of years. These formats are open (non-proprietary), widely implemented, and free (as in freedom) software.
The same can't be said for WinRK. Therefore, if you plan to want access to your data for a long period of time, you should carefully consider whether the format will be accessible.
Though not officially supported, we use OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 on many Windows 95 computers without any problems--other the normal problems from using Windows 95. Openoffice.org is OK, and I have a feeling 1.1.5 would work on Windows 95 too.
That's pretty vague. Are they against privacy, education, and competitiveness? Which specific legislation are they supporting? What specific social legislation did they support before?

16. note on java support. the product may contain support for programs written in java. java technology is not fault tolerant and is not designed, manufactured, or intended for use or resale as online control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems, in which the failure of java technology could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage.
Write your local government officials. But first, do a little research.
Check out the budgets. Look at their spending and objectives. If an objective states, "Identify possibilities for increased efficiences in information technlogy," there you go.
If all their documents are in Microsoft formats, draw their attention to Commonwealth of Massachusetts open standards policy and how open formats are helpful.
If you can find they are violating a their own policies regarding document storage or accessibility, mention that.
In statistics what matters is choosing a random sample---an SRS (simple random sample). Sites such as windowsupdate and kernel.org don't matter.
To choose a statistically-valid SRS, start by defining the population: all web sites on the Internet. Then choose a sample size n by random from these. Then determine the browser usage from the SRS.
BTW, as the sample size n increases toward the size N of the population, the precision increases also.

For years now, OpenOffice.org users have had smaller documents both in OpenOffice.org 1.0 Format and OpenDocument format (ODF), both of which are based on XML and ZIP. Now, OpenDocument is an ISO standard. Also, many other applications already also support OpenDocument.
Since Microsoft was a member of OASIS when OpenDocument when the format was standardized, people have questioned why Microsoft created its own, different format instead of adopting also OpenDocument. In any case, now Microsoft sort of supports a third-party ODF plugin.
Meanwhile, competitor Microsoft is making room for 12,000 new employees.
Hmm...

You must edit the OOo registry as shown here: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=10 5239

Don't forget bloggers and the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center, who is taking back Microsoft's award from 2001.

Do users know the difference? Will there be a campaign? Will Microsoft sponsor ads the Windows under the table?
Without remote access, how will I install those cool Internet Explorer toolbars?

Is there anything like Games Knoppix for PowerPC?

What OE development has there been to cease? The new version looks like the last one to me.
> 5% of all windows installations crash two or more times every day.
Then the other 95% crash 3+ times per day? =)
I crash Windows off-line often. It should save up the reports until I connect. Instead, it conveniently disposes of them.
