If free-as-in-beer or free-as-in-speech were the issue, Open^H^H^H^HLibreOffice would be the corporate standard. Open source programming tools are simply among the best available. Right now, without any further need for fiddling. They became the best because the programmers developing them are the same as the programmers using them. They can scratch their own itch. Often only a (very) limited group of FOSS-users knows how to program, and how to 'scratch their itch' if there is something they feel needs improvement in the software. For programming tools a huge part of the user base will know how to fix the bugs/annoyances, and their efforts have a much wider appeal in their own (programmer-)community, than a similar effort would have in other communities.

Or that people still shouldn't use it.

That's why I always use ROT-13 twice.

Google uses two version numbers in Android: an API level (Honeycomb is 11), and a platform version (Honeycomb is 3.0). Usually the latter is used.
The API level is a simple increasing number, and the platform version is more traditional hierarchical. For example: platform 2.1 was API level 7, platform 2.3 was level 9, platform 2.3.3 level 10, and now 3.0 is 11.

More likely good news for Intel. Fair chance all of Dell's competitors will switch from AMD to Intel where possible, just so Dell won't profit from their business. And you have to wonder if Dell's customers will just happily go along with AMD instead of Intel. If this happens, it could cost both Dell and AMD customers.

Where do you think you got your X chromosome from?

No popcorn needed when watching /that/ movie...

In that case, don't ever look how http://bit.ly/ redirects.

Looks like Slashdot is as insecure as SourceForge, you've messed up the whole website!

Oh great, now you've slashdotted it, soon it will be down again!

Yes, it should open in MS-Word if you saved it in word, every time, you are right. But you cannot conclude Abiword (or OO/LO) is more robust if you have one (or a few) examples where it was able to open a file and MS-Word wasn't. You only tried Abiword when MS failed, you didn't try Abiword everytime MS succeeded, and you might have found some Abiword failures then.

I'll probably be modded troll for this, but I think about 0.5% of all office software users in the world care about this 'freedom' version of open source. The cost aspect is much more interesting. Personally I would gladly give up my right to ever change or even see the Open Office source code for one free beer.
