  1. OpenOffice on Excel Clone for Linux Now in Beta · · Score: 0

    What is it with OpenOffice that makes it so hard to work with MS format files?

    If this software which just showed up can do a 1000 times better job, then it seems to say a lot about OpenOffice's devel team.

  2. Other Projects. on New Seti@Home Client to be Open to Other Projects · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yeah but what could be more important than processing endless amounts of data on seemingly empty space?

    Imagine wasting time on something stupid like a cure for some disease, or ending global warming.

    Tinfoil?! Don't you know how danagerous wifi is?

    They'd settle for nothing less than lead.

    Does this mean the US is going to code red? *Packs supplies for next 4 months*.

  5. Re:Not bad for a complete ripoff on Lycoris Announces Desktop/LX Tablet Edition · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has become so sucessful because 90% of computers look the same; most people just don't want to learn a completely different system. If there is to be any competition on the tablet market all tablets have be easy to use, and operate as close to each other as possible, or it just won't work.

    When done correctly, 3d effects should take so little cpu power that they are not noticeable performance wise. Then they can be used to entertain the user while their application loads, making a person less bored and possibly more productive. But this is MS we're talking about; forget about it being done correctly.
