The ribbon reduces productivity on those who need to work with full-page presentations (because the ribbon reduces the vertical working area), forcing you to work at a reduced magnification or with partial pages.
While I dislike the ribbon, your statement is not accurate. The ribbon takes (within a few pixels) the exact same vertical space as the standard toolbars in Office 2003. I still find the ribbon poorly organized, slower to use, and non intuitive, but it doesn't actually take up more room unless you were in the habit of turning off toolbars in previous versions, and you can hide the ribbon to accomplish a similar capability in O2k7 and later.
So: If I install LO work, how well will it work with DOC files? All my coworkers are using Word 2003 and I don't want to cause any disruption by sending them funky files.
As long as they're just documents, it should work well. If they require macros, particularly VBA macros, you're likely to have difficulty.
You have something against overpriced, over-hyped, cables?
Monster, explain again how your super high fidelity cables are going to improve my HDMI connection, or even the analog audio of my (quieter than most but still) relatively noisy automobile environment. I keep forgetting what advantages your cables provide in such situations.
Or the non-existence of anything else for that matter. You can't even prove the non-existance of God in this post. It's a logical fallacy to jump from "we can't find any evidence of God" to "We've proven God doesn't exist".
Intelligent Design is pseudo science, an attempt to use science, logic, and reason to suggest the existence of God. It's just religion repackaged to look like science. It still requires a leap of faith to get from "we can't explain this" to "an intelligent creator (God) must exist", which is the fundamental argument of Intelligent Design.
Testability is the realm of science, faith is the realm of religion. Neither can disprove the other. Although science can prove/disprove specific doctrines of religions, it can never disprove the the existence of God, nor the faith therein.

He might want to read the US Constitution (Article 3, Section 3), it gives a very specific and much narrower definition of treason than the common definition.
And the Nobel Prize isn't quite what it used to be, at least the Peace Prize isn't what it used to be. I mean, they gave one to Obama for what they thought he might do, not what he has actually done.
Indeed. At retail outlets, CD prices have increased, and with Columbia House and BMG CD clubs closed, buying CDs is a lot more expensive that it used to be.
That paper is about the moon, it's a 3 body system, the moon, earth, and sun. In a system, where one body is tide locked to it's primary gravitational influence but there are other significant gravitational influences, you can have tides, including core tides. However, in a system in which a body is tide locked to it's primary and has no additional significant gravitational forces (it's not gravitationally bound to, and doesn't have any relatively massive bodies gravitationally bound to it), there are no significant tidal forces.
The moon is tidally locked to earth, it's primary gravitational influence. However, the earth-moon system is gravitationally bound to the Sun, and the Sun's gravity has a significant secondary gravitational influence on the moon, therefore, the earth and moon do experience tidal forces due to the Sun. If there is any liquid in the moon, it will flow due to those tidal forces. However, a tide locked planet with no moon in a system with only a single star is not likely to have any other significant gravitational influences. In fact, about the only possible source for another significant gravitational influence would be another massive planet in orbit around the star. How massive it would need to be depends upon the relative masses and distances of the bodies. For instance, Jupiter does not exert a significant tidal effect on Earth because it's too far away.
I didn't say Mercury is tide locked, but I can understand the confusion. Mercury has almost no atmosphere, and even though it's not tide locked and it's very close to the sun, the "dark" side is extremely cold. A tide locked or slowly rotating planet with very little atmosphere will be very cold on the side away from the sun.
Gotta be better than living in Houston. (old joke: If I owned Hell and Houston, I'd rent out Houston and live in Hell).
If it's tidelocked, there shouldn't be any significant tidal heating, and with minimal atmosphere, it should just have a really hot side, and a really cold side, with more moderate temps in between, just like Mercury.

He should never have gotten involved with it.
I loved the movies and wish him a speedy recovery.
You should look up the definition of causation. There is correlation, but it's not causation.
Lack of self control certainly does not prevent success:

Professional designers? It looks exactly the same as OpenOffice. This is little more than a repackaging under a different name and some bug fixes.
Reading fail. Apparently, you ignored the part where he said the last version he used was v2.

In either case, there is no reason to even mention "hacker" or "black".

Just look at any government. Intelligent design surely would not allow for such insanity.

These are bifocals when switched on. The only difference is that they allow you to switch them out of bifocal mode.
