The rest is just eye candy and basic bug fixes (e.g. >256 columns in Calc).
Sorry, yet I have to disagree.
There's one feature that I had been waiting for ever... When you zoom out in more than two pages, Writer would just keep ONE column of pages, and make them smaller.
As opposed, Microsoft's Word would zoom out, and re-organize the pages to fit on-screen (two pages side-by-side, then three, four, etc.)
This was really... well, there was just a better way (Word's).
The new Open Office 3.0 has this feature.
Aside from that, and the >256 columns... the icons are prettier.
[[Seriously; thanks to everyone that works on Open Office. Thanks!]]
- Speed's Mach 5 has already been built - Mattel actually built their twin engine car (with dual Chevy 502 cubic inch engines, that's a total of over 16 liters!) - Fans already built a full sized Warthog from Halo
Personally, I think the Citroen looks too radical... yet I would not mind driving it around!
Good job samzenpus for proving to the aforementioned spammers that not only is your email valid, but you read everything, even the obvious spams that aren't targeted directly at yourself.
d00d, take it easy. The eMails are dated 2003, 2004 and 2005.
samzenpus was already sent the memo to kill Idle.
Sadly, he'll be reading it somewhere around 2010...
if I loan somebody my car and they run down their cheating GF, I'm probably safe unless they told me their intention ahead of time.
Adding my 0.02 to your thoughts... I think you're headed down a very wrong path.
Your car, is your responsibility. If you loan it to somebody, whatever they do with it, you can ultimately be responsible for it. It is your car, after all.
Just think about it... if the cheating GF's parents trace the car back to you (and they will), and you have money, lawyers WILL try their very best to put blame on you. It doesn't matter if your friend has no money, and he ran over the girl... You're the one with money, you're the one they'll hunt.
I'm telling you from 2nd hand experience. Kid A's parents got sued into oblivion (don't know if they had to pay or what), because Kid B borrowed Kid A's car. Kid A said "Ok!" and stayed behind. Kid B had his small kid-brother on the passenger seat (8 years old?)... and Kid B crashed into a tree. Little brother disfigured his face and body in the crash (and didn't die).
You're keen on teaching children critical thinking, but you're happy to tell lies about an operating system you don't like. That's not setting them a good example is it?
Depends... are you molding them to become politicians?
WHY are they confiscating the computers in the first place?
Cause they're humans.
Small-note: I have a friend that works for DHS. I hadn't talked with her in a long time, so when we met-up again, I found out she was working for DHS in the airport. Obviously, I asked her all sorts of questions.
Her answers were really insightful: She says that although there are a ton of things that can send out a "flag", they do not normally do that because for each flag, they have to fill out a 3-page 'report'.
So I asked her why the fuck they were such big assholes... and she basically said it's highschool all over. If they're bored, then they'll stop whomever for whatever fucking reason. If they have visits from higher-ups, they will also stop whomever for whatever reason. If one of them is "Super DHS Agent of the Month Tim", then all of them will act "Super DHS Agent" for that day. If they're having a slow day... or are particularly happy... they just don't care.
She wasn't happy about it... yet, can you blame her? WTF... it's a job. And if Tim is netting 10 flags per hour (out-of-ass figure), then she should be doing at least 5.
is there a plan for disposing/handling any of this?
At that scale, a small static discharge will destroy your entire year's worth of experiments...
Drexler (w00t! Thanks dude, you kick ass!) talks about such a system in his book Engines of Creation (get it!).
Basically proposed, a small nanofactory, with enough controls for "nothing" getting out of it.
Simple to do such a feat when each and every atom inside the "lab" is accounted for.
I understand your point, but I think you misinterpreted theirs.
it can also tell scientists how overstuffed buckyballs burst open and release their cargo.
I think they are saying that they can study how an erronously overstuffed buckyball can burst.
As in analyzing and engineering failure/problem.
I do not remember the diameters, but I would be willing to suspect they are retreiving the H2 atoms between the Carbon rings of a buckyball... or heck, maybe they are not planning on using a 'ball' at all. Maybe they plan on using buckyballs' geometries for nanotubes and similar storage 'containers'.
Too early for RTFA.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that,
The buckyballs can contain up to 8% of their weight in hydrogen,...

BitZtream,
I sent you an eMail this morning, and you didn't reply.
I sent you another one 15 minutes after, and you still haven't replied.
WHY HAVEN'T YOU REPLIED?!
OMG!
Are you ok?!!
What if something happened?!

What!?
d00d, after I download a torrent, I leave it seeding until I reach at least a 2.5 ratio.
I'm actually HELPING them distribute their product...
I think they owe me money...
Fine fine!
I'm sorry.
I won't do it again.
Promise.
Who knows... at least (one-off customs):
- Speed's Mach 5 has already been built
- Mattel actually built their twin engine car (with dual Chevy 502 cubic inch engines, that's a total of over 16 liters!)

Yeah dude, but two years ago, the researchers were in middle school.
Now that they're in highschool, they need some pimpin' to impress the ladies.
Hence, the new press release.
Look bud, I'm almost done with the software...
It's just all these damned Microsoft documentation... I can't make sense of it!
I see...
So, 2009 is the year of Linux on the desktop?!
d00d, take it easy.
The eMails are dated 2003, 2004 and 2005.

I'll just develop an iPhone app for accepting legal-fees donations...

Thanks to my Ninja skills, I've been waiting silently, un-discovered in this article for two days now.
LoL

In addition, it is worth mentioning that, Hydrogen's Atomic weight: 1.00794
Carbon's Atomic weight: 12.0107
Roughly 12 orders of magnitude more... per weight.
Sounds like fun!

PEOPLE OF THE WORLD!!!
I AM SORRY!!!
My fault... it was me... I accidentally sent an eMail to my entire friends list... I couldn't stop it in time... please disregard.
Soooo...???

I can still connect the speakers' output to the line IN, and record a nifty mp3.
