UK Culture Secretary Wants Website Ratings, Censorship 377

Posted by Soulskill from the since-the-aussies-seem-so-excited-about-it dept.
kaufmanmoore writes "UK culture secretary Andy Burnham calls for a website rating system similar to the one used for movies in an interview with the Daily Telegraph. He also calls for censorship of the internet, saying, 'There is content that should just not be available to be viewed.' Other proposals he mentions in his wide-ranging calls for internet regulation are 'family-friendly' services from ISPs, and requiring takedown notices to be enforced within a specific time for sites that host content. Mr. Burnham wants to extend his proposals across the pond and seeks meetings with the Obama administration."

Hiding a game must be so they can claim OOo is competitive on features with MS Office 97.
From memory in XL97 you could:
  1. hit F5
  2. Type X97:L97 and hit return.
  3. Tab once so that cell M97 has focus
  4. Control-shift-click the chart wizard button.

Is there a pinball game in Writer as well?
I hope the OpenOffice guys managed to do decent collision detection. The Microsoft ones were virtually unplayable.
