Scared? Of a piece of software only nitwitts and douche bags are embracing? OpenOffice sucks. I think they are taking opportunity of the current openoffice chaos to bring to light the chaos and in-usability of openoffice in the real world.
Um, MS is not saying openoffice is a contender; they are pointing out the reality that openoffice is complete garbage compared to MS office. I use open office at home for personal stuff, word processing and simple spreadsheets. It's slow, lacks features, and there is zero way anyone could exist in the 'real world' with it. And now the project has forked. As soon as I can get a sweet discount on the latest version of office i am going to convert everything over and not look back. The project had so much ope, but in the end they just produced something only an asshat could love.
The problem I have with this video is that it does not only attack openoffice, but open source as a whole. This was a mistake all around and will just piss some people off, while not causing FUD. There are plenty of open source projects that are great replacements for commercial software.
Department stores understand that thefts will happen, and dealing with them will be normal operating procedure. Is theft 'right'? Doesnt matter, just something you have to deal with. Oregon isnt the only state that has to deal with vandals destroying telco equipment, and isnt the only place were you will see this vandalism perpetrated with guns. I know of similar stories from texas, ohio, florida, Pennsylvania, new york... Reality; if you dont consider any common occurrence in your normal business practices you will fail. The world doesnt care about whats right, moral, or any of that crap.
This type of vandalism against telcos happens all the time, its a normal occurrence.
I worked for a ISP that had a POP in the sticks. It's feed would regularly be shot by some stupid hick. There was also only one telco field tech for the area, and it would take him forever to respond and even longer to resolve the issue. The city has its own issues. Once a very large section of copper was stolen from the telco taking out an untold number of consumers.
Think about it... Have they attacked anyone who hasnt deserved it? Scientology, a loud mouth little girl, an animal abuser... They love kittens... and obviously people who risked their lives fighting the scourges who threatened freedom. I look forward to seeing what battles they wage in the future.
Why the hell would I want to read about some fat old fuck watching tv on his couch with a pile of sexed up socks in the corner? I live that life, like i need to read about it.
The worse is these ppl that go, you know 40 is the new 20... no dude. STFU. You are 40, your balls are sagging or your snatch is grey. And 60 is the new 40? Even if it was... ITS 40...
When you read shit you want to read shit about people moving and shaking... You also dont want to be reminded that you are old and the parts that used to be pretty art so pretty... Who wants to read about your depends?
Because it would look like one string of characters...."end.The"... would be look like a single word. This could make parsing text for various purposes a pain. Every character in an initialism such as "F.B.I." would be looked at as a single word string. It also would be a bit harder on the human reader.
Check out cnn, fox, msnbc, boing, consumerist, the times, etc. Now check out the BBC, slayradio, or other english sites outside of the US. SINGLE_FUCKEN_SPACED after all punctuation.
I can forgive bad grammar, crappy spelling, 3133 $p34k, u/r/ur/yer/lol and other chat speak, but double spacing makes me want to slap someones fro and scream "SINGLE SPACE YOU FUCKEN NOOB".
Yeah, if you are a douche bag. It's 1 space. WTF is the reason for 2? Your eyes so poor you cant see the delineation? Notice when you read shit on the internet it is single spaced after punctuation, and not double spaced?
Single space after a sentence, noob. Drives me nuts when I see double spaced bullshit. It's almost as bad as seeing more than 3 punctuation marks. If you use more than three you are a fucktard.
Slashdot Mirror
This is pretty much the truth.
The full truth is openoffice sucks and is hardly usable for real world use.
Scared? Of a piece of software only nitwitts and douche bags are embracing? OpenOffice sucks. I think they are taking opportunity of the current openoffice chaos to bring to light the chaos and in-usability of openoffice in the real world.
You could, but then it wouldnt actually hold true. Openoffice is garbage.
A contender in it's own mind...

Have these jackasses forgotten the wto and other protests recently?
Rails. wtf. how does that even happen. And man... where the hell do they scrap those and not get busted?

Except that it seems to be selective enforcement of the the AUP/TOS. So while this isnt a first amendment issue, what about the other sites they host?
Douche bag is a douche.

initialism, not acronym :)

Every character in an initialism such as "F.B.I." would be looked at as a single word string. It also would be a bit harder on the human reader.
I've been typing since 1981. Single space. Always.
If I had points, or if I knew how to use them, I would mod this up.
Wow. That does indeed look pretty gross.
Way back... in the bbs days... guess what? EVERYONE FUCKEN SINGLE SPACED.

The pro's use single space, and you should too.
Old dogs should learn new tricks. I'm old too. Double space was always lame. It's what christmas users would do in the bbs days.
Always, except for the post you just made.
