    Sorry I'm having troubles actually locating these 'features' in open office 1.1.3, could you be more specific?

    I also don't see anything giving me the ability to import old ms access files.

    This kind of information would be really useful for me, to convert users to Linux and it's opensource software.

    I think the best method would be installing firefox, and for the special websites, to set them up as predefined sites in "Windows Management Console" and then save that configuration on the desktop. Should be no more problems.

    They seemed helpful enough.

    I asked what firewall they reccommend for my debian box, they respond with a non-RTFM answer.

    I asked for help about finding a certain part in the documentation, they respond with a non-RTFM answer.

    I asked about which do they reccommend stable/unstable/experimental they tell me and no RTFM.

    I ask if they have any information on how to upgrade from stable to unstable, I was given info on how and no RTFM.

    Probably two major factors: knowing a lot of things, and being able to put what you know together into meaningful ways. Certainly computers will have no trouble knowing more than a person, with the added benefit of not forgetting some things and confabulating others.

    No offense, but computers already do alot of that. Of course these functions have to be programmed in first, but it's much like a human, a human has to of had some trainin in some way todo the same thing.

    A computer that could not do something it was not programmed to do would not be self-aware.

    I found it interesting to find out that deviantart changed most of the PHP stuff they had a couple of years ago to PERL. I also find it interesting that websites... like.. oh.. Slashdot! Register.com, Stanford, Berkley etc.. etc.. use perl too.

    My recipe for spyware-free computer with IE:

    - No users who don't even know how to understand simple things like the process list

    - install firefox.

  18. Re:IE? on Microsoft Acquires Spyware Removal Company · · Score: 1

    How to disable IE:

    1) Goto c:\windows\system32
    2) Set permisions for "everyone" on "mshtml.dll" to deny
    3) Reset all security zones in IE to high
    4) Log all users out
    5) Everyone log back in.

    End result: IE doesn't work

    Problems:

    The .chm helpfiles don't work, but .hlp files work fine.

    Oh no! The helpfiles that NEVER give me any useful information when I have a problem other than "Check if the device is plugged", "Contact the software vender for more help" etc.. etc.. is not going to work!
