No. Most Windows machines are bundled with MS Works. It's basically 'free' in Dell systems for example. But I won't be surprised if OO3 will be included in the future as nothing opens Works files without a plug-in.
Yep. You're right. I get that when I open.doc sent to me with different versions too. But most of the problem lies in the fact that they don't know the difference between {space bar} and {TAB} keys.
Time spent learning should be minimal if you already know how a word processor works
No it's not true. The AC has it wrong. MS Word has developed tools that are much more sophisticated than OO. I regularly use drawing tools, call outs, line and text boxes, Word Art etc in documentation and it is so much easier to do in MS 2003 than OO (I haven't tried OO3 yet). That takes skill and training to use effectively and at speed. Even though OO2x has similar tools, it is just different enough in its ability and finesse to be unusable. I had to use MS2007 to do a particularly difficult and complicated graphic, and even though the ribbon menu was absolutely horrible to use, all the tools of the previous version(s) were there and in some instances, much improved. For straight WP I love OO2x and I'm very eager to get OO3, but so far there is always a place for MS Office. I really want OO3+ to have the functionality of MS Word so I can finally get rid of it for my uses and give the license away to some deserving group or individual.
Granted. The Apple was programmable (as it loaded the basic interpreter) but no dos, except programs could be loaded/saved onto cassette tape. Dos took about 10 secs if that. Comms (BBS etc) was only a few keystrokes away.
That's not AVG8's only problem. For some reason it randomly sucks 100% cpu cycles for a few mins. This was on a new machine with Sp2 and Sp3 images. Uninstalled, the system works fine. Re-installed, goes wonky again. That's a 2.6P4 and a new Asrock board. (478pin?) Maybe it's some kind of hardware bug.?
AntiMalware Malwarebytes has Rogue Remover which I highly recommend. Save hrs of work. Some rogues need to be removed manually though. Just keep it updated and it will be fine. http://www.malwarebytes.org/rogueremover.php
I third that too. It's got a small footprint and you can shut off services you don't require very easily. The latest version is very good and would suit your (oahazmatt) needs well. The only prob I have with it is when I install on a client computer, it requires registration for which you need the client's email acc. and many times I don't have their email addy. You have to re-register it every 12 months or so too.
This is what I think happened. A lab assistant pinned a periodic table chart at the end of the hallway. Then one of the main researchers got to throw a dart at it blindfolded and it came up as Phosphorus. "Looks like this time around we'll be using Phosphorus." "Ok your turn...Ahhh Silica! Let's get down to the beach, get some sand and shove some K into it and zap it with high voltage and see what it does!" Seriously! Phosphorus is not the easiest thing to work with. Why that?
I'm impressed. Numerologically you user id adds up to 3. It must be frustrating for Bill personally. Imagine having billions of dollars at your disposal with every toy you want and realise that it's not enough, that you want to sit down with a clean sheet of paper on a new desk with a sharpened pencil and start thinking creatively. He's had a few years to do this and decided in the end that it's best to 'outsource' the creative aspect by forming a company and hiring creative people for his own personal thinktank. But how original can he be? Isn't he lock-stepped into his own creation of MS? Now he wants to develop hardware and software technologies for the future and to leave some kind of legacy for mankind! With his philosophy of 'buy the competition', strict licensing and corporate kowtowing, what kind of things is he going to come up with? Philanthropic hardware/software? I'm sort of vaguely interested. And Bill, if you are reading this, then I need a grant to help develop my Reactionless Force Vector Engine (RFVE).
Maybe true for US, but not so true for Australia. We have 300 years of natural gas at current use with gas (that's liquefied petroleum gas or LPG) fired power stations being built which are much more efficient than coal. AGL use renewables (waste) and will incorporate alternative technologies as they become available.
I would love to see Peterf*ckingGarrett cut the ribbon on a newly built nuclear power station in the Southern Highlands - his old stomping ground. What a hypocrit.

And yes, even Slashdot has weakened and now we see images in articles. Soon there will be mp3 soundbites (most probably ogg vorbis or flac just to be difficult) and a social network where we can all get to know one another. Wouldn't that be fun? I'm feeling a little woozy... I think I'll lie down somewhere.

Modern art is pointless. Excellent! Yet I would have said 'Pointless is Modern Art!"
Usborne's Programming in BASIC had a little robot on it - but that came later than Apple II+ - A kind of a kids book, hard cover. I think it had C64, Apple and Atari code as well for each example.
All the reader has to do is either skip the comments modded to 0 or 1 or read the correction. I wouldn't go that far. Comments that are ranked 0 or 1 don't mean that they are wrong or not worthwhile reading. The mod system is good but doesn't mean that a mod of =>2 is definitive. That's why your comment is currently ranked 1 (and mine too!). Both of our comments are worth reading, as are the discussion pages of Wikipedia. I keep writing here every time Wikipedia comes up that you can get the best from it by reading the discussion pages because any debate is likely to be there. It's not the article that matters so much as the article+discussion pages. This deals with 'Consensus' and 'Truth' and 'Bias'. In effect, philosophically there is no truth, historically there is no truth as truth is meant to be definitive. The goal of 'objective truth' seems impossible as it is dependent on our senses, feelings, instincts, flight or fight responses and individual perceptions of reality. Is 'reality' truth? Or even better, is 'truth' reality? There is no solution for this paradox. Where there is a solution, is in the form of a continuum, where we accept a broad meaning as 'truth' dependent of the current paradigm and world views by the contributors and audience. That's the best that can be hoped for.

You don't need 8 years to design a ruler to measure a pigeon. That's just plain dumb.
Thank you AC for being ontopic.

Either that or solar power.
The notice that was sent to me stated that I should contact the Federal Police if I think I've been 'infected'.
Sounds serious.

Where's the renewable energy going to come from?
I'm with AGL - They burn sugar cane detrius and other organic materials when they can.
