Perhaps they figured that people thought that, "Oh these are free, it must be a trap!"... so then, by paying for it (with a minimum purchase of 500,000) it is obviously trap-free...?
Of course, I always think everything is a trap, that is why I am still alive.
Hmm, I didn't really look too closely for that option, that's pretty cool (for future knowledge, I suppose)... but, in this case (by no fault of Open Office, obviously)... given the way I normally work (I do last minute edits in the lab before class)... I don't know that would really work, since the PDF would be uneditable in the labs...:)
Good to know, though!
Nothing on the surface for the lay user, at least, and unless you are doing anything extensive, nothing you'd miss either:)
You could still use Word 2.0 and it'd all come out the same... might get some cock-eyed looks from whoever had to open your file, but since you'd probably not be there when they did it, no biggie, right?
I have used Open Office for the last semester (16 weeks for those non-students out there)... and yes, Open Office is faster than MS Office... however... since Open Office isn't widely used, I wind up exporting to DOC, and the formatting has been screwed up in a couple of situations (often at inconvenient times, like when I need to turn a paper in and I find out in the lab, I learned quickly after the 1st one)...
In speed and resources, Open Office comes out ahead, but the issues I have stem more from compatability (and exporting, mostly)
It is a good office suiteif you are going to be using it on your system and never sharing your files with, say, a company or professor (who will likely not be using Open Office)
Yeah, I agree, Iraq is too fresh, and Korea would be too much like BF:V... and there is already a WWI mod for BF1942, soooo...
I think they should do a "Battlefield 1863"...
It'd be totally awesome to fire once, then reload for 45 seconds... ohhh hell yeah... and medics, instead of med packs, have hacksaws, and they saw off limbs... and instead of tanks, there are horses... on second thought, maybe they should stick with Iraq.

I don't know about that, Mary Jane had a pretty nice rack.
Oh come on, we all know they just want to make a movie so they can make a game out of it! Those bastards! ... what, why is everyone staring at me?
Perhaps this will distract all the worm writers, malware creators, and other degenerates... but the question then becomes what is more enticing...
chaos... or beer?

I have to say... this is much more interesting, at least, than an "Obfuscated FoxPro" contest...
