    I once had a prof (PhD in CS!!!!!) who requested assignment documentation be submitted in gzipped AbiWord format. And I'm not even talking about taking an AbiWord format file and then gzipping it, but a genuine one-pass "gzipped AbiWord" format (.zabw extension).

        So is MS Office.

        As useless as Ben is, how much was 3 days of his time worth?

        Time is money, except to Open Source zealots who have no value.

          Ehrm, does anybody actually care ?
          With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

              If you google "open office word count" you'll see a helluva lot of people being pissed off and confused.

                You have to admit, that's kinda cute. You know, like in that, "Aww, you Christianists say the funniest things about homosexuality" way.

                    Oh, yes, let's act all innocent.

                    Seriously though, even if it's not free, you can get it for dirt cheap. Students either get it for free (if their school is a partner) or for $59.99 for the entire MS Office suite. Most volume licenses (for corporations) also include provisions that employees can get free copies of MS Office to install at home as well.

                      At this point, you guys are just fapping on Ben-hate (and OO-hate).

                        Why's that? Saying that OO sucks makes him an idiot?

                        I mean, if someone has trouble with their Yugo, what's wrong with telling him that his Yugo sucks and that he should've been driving a Trabant, at least?

                          Are you saying that this has become a circle jerk?

                            It is imperative people know the evils of OO.

                                Besides being 5x slower than excel, and wacky autosave/autorecover, how is OO worse than MS office?
