The argument against using OpenOffice.org has always been that it isn't 100% Microsoft Office compatible. However, it has been several years since Microsoft released Office 2007, and invariably if I send someone an docx or xlsx file they email back to me and ask me to send it in Office97-2003 format. My somewhat rhetorical question is, which Office suite now boasts the best "compatibility"? MS Office or OpenOffice.org?"

The answer is strangely detailed in the previous Slashdot posting, namely the Conficker worm. Just install the Conficker/Downadup worm/virus on every PC and server in the building and walk out!

This ridiculous venture is exactly what is wrong with the world. If Osama Bin Laden want to strike
at the heart of what is wrong with the "west", Dubai is the place he should start. Seriously,
have these people not heard of global warming?
Even if they power this thing with solar energy,
it's still a massive waste... think of all the other things that could be done with that energy.
Jesus!

Is it just me, or is this post completely disuncomprehensional? OK, I expect to come
across legal gobble-de-gook that I don't understand on Groklaw... but on slashdot?

So... who is John B. (Jack) Thompson? What does "disbarred" mean? (I know what "barred" means. It means "not allowed to". So "disbarred" means "_is_ allowed to"....???) And WTF does this have to do with the price of carrots? ... or .... ?

OK, on the BBC, they _keep_ on telling us what "credit crunch" means... and where the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is... and it can get a bit annoying that they keep on explaining the bleedin' obvious, but this post takes the biscuit.

As Magee would say. Sheesh. WTF?! Rant over.

I don't understand where people get the time write diary's. I just don't have the time to sit down and contemplate the days events!
