  1. Re:Compared with Lotus Notes on Microsoft Remains Firm On Ending VB6 Support · · Score: 1

    That's not completely correct. LotusScript will be included and supported for at least the next several major releases of Lotus Notes/Domino. And IBM will continue to make more features available to LotusScript through the Domino Object Model. However, they have publicly stated that there will be no further improvements to the language itself. So there will never be support for callbacks, for example.

  2. No problems on Comcast on Vonage Says VoIP Traffic Blocked By Providers · · Score: 1

    We've been using Vonage for several weeks over a Comcast cable modem. No problems so far. Vonage has the cheapest rates I could find for direct-dialed international calls.

  3. Medical dictionary? on Why You Should Choose MS Office Over OO.org · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We would like to use OpenOffice.org as a cheaper replacement for MS Word 2002 but so far we've been hampered by the lack of a suitable medical dictionary. With MS Word we can use Stedman's medical spellchecker which includes all the words we need. Unfortunately when I talked to them they weren't interested in producing an OpenOffice.org version.

    The only possible alternative I've found is the Medical Words open source project. But's it isn't anywhere near complete enought and isn't being actively updated much. It would cost us far more to have our own employees update the list with thousands of additional words than just to continue paying MS Word license fees.

    So, can anyone suggest an alternative medical spelling checker that is known to work with OpenOffice.org?
