Masaryk Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Well, I really hope to see some major improvements. Back in the days of OpenOffice 1, it was the most amazing piece of office software I had ever used. It was small, efficient, and quick. Now I'm so frustrated with it's performance that I would almost rather use MS Office. It takes more than a minute for a document to save, and if I happen to be doing something when it decides to autosave, it crashes the program, and I lose all my work anyway. Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Oh dear. That does kinda suck. o_O I'm still running OpenOffice 3.3 at the moment (I'll be switching to LibreOffice with the next Fedora version), and oddly enough it actually seems to handle fairly well... Quote
Sofa Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I use OpenOffice and haven't had any trouble with it thus far, but the LibreOffice project does sound promising :) Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Hmm... if that's the case, perhaps OpenOffice suffers from the same problematic extensions issue as Firefox? Or more likely (since I've experienced this in the past) it has trouble handling heavier, more complex documents. In either case, I'm sure the underlying engine rewrites LibreOffice has planned will impact the situation somewhat. :yes: Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Starcraft is a sport? xD Starcraft is a virtual sport. Yes Ryan, StarCraft is a top e-sport. :yes: There are plenty of professional StarCraft players who make a living off tournament money. If only people did that with Mario Kart. Or Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Or Modern Warfare 2, wait....THEY DO! Quote
Divya Bean Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Hey, the Eagles were good this year, Divya! :O Ehhh...I guess so. :P Dont they have that e-sport thing for this one Mario game? I think I saw a website for it. :O Quote
-Ryan Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Even though I absolutley hate your team's quarterback... xD Quote
Wembly Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Blek :sick01: can we not talk about football again for a while, at least until next weekend when the games are on again, pretty please :whistle: So...in the interest of changing the subject...I'm hoping to make scallops for dinner... Quote
Domino Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Subject Change! Scallops...like seafood? I always forget what kind of seafood that is exactly... The only thing I can think of is scalloped potatoes. Which I'm pretty sure is something completely different... :laughingsmiley: Quote
Wembly Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Haha, yes, it is seafood. I suppose the name of scalloped potatoes comes from the fact that they kind of look like scallops. this is the shell and this is the food, cooked Quote
-Ryan Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 ... And so the HOP discussion is yet again back to food. /Narrator Quote
Domino Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Ooooohhhhh. I got it. Food is good. /is an intellegent commentator/ Anyone else in finals week this week? We had a pizza party instead of a final. Great way to start off the week. It was delicious pizza. Quote
-Ryan Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Nope, not until May at my school. We just started the semster. Quote
Spritzie Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Anyone can talk about food, Ryan. Not everyone can talk about football/sports. Finals this early, Domino? (Didn't most schools just start back up for the new semester?) Quote
-Ryan Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Or we could discuss neither and talk about squirrels! 8D Quote
Spritzie Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Food is a less specific topic and lots easier to talk about. Well, except that I'm hungry, so food topics aren't the best right now. :P Quote
Domino Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Yeah. It's the end of the first semester. Blarg. I officially suck at studying. We had a three day weekend, and I did not study -at all-. I was just on the computer. Typical. :laughingsmiley: Quote
-Ryan Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Well, squirrels aren't specific either. There are flying squirrels, Indian squirrels, ground squirrels, ect... Lol, I spent my 3 day weekend on the comp, too. xD Quote
Domino Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Don't forget super(man) squirrels! Haha. I literally didn't go outside at all one day. I was just on the computer. That's my kind of studying. Quote
Spritzie Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I didn't get a 3 day weekend. Well I did, but I always get 3.5 day weekends. But my company doesn't even consider Monday a holiday. Quote
Domino Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Haha. You have a great job Spritz. I wants a job like that. :D And. Alright. This has nothing to do with the current subject. But I had the sudden urge to create a pet named peanutbutter and zap it until it turns into Jelly. :laughingsmiley: /random Too bad peanutbutter is already created. <_< Quote
Spritzie Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 :D It's nice. Definitely worth the 12 hour work days. That's an adorable idea. I remember when I was talking about Coconut Jubjubs a lot, I started typing Cocojub. I thought that would be awesome, but it was created. (It was a Yellow Jubjub on a long ago abandoned account.) Quote
Domino Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I know right? I hate the pets that have great names that are stuck on abandoned accounts. It's like...great. I could be using that name. That's why I think the Purge is a great thing. Quote
Spritzie Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I agree. But you have to manage to catch the names. There's a user with an incredible account (and sides) of Draiks, Krawks and UCs, that has awesome names, that are only around 1000-2000 days old. Like she has a Faerie Draik named Faerie. A Desert Draik named Myth. A Zombie Draik named Fable. A Darigan Draik named Worse. Quote
Domino Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Oh I know. There are some people who like...have it ALL. o_O Mind boggling how you get all of that. Yeah. The purge is why I have failed to study for finals. I know. It's silly. I've gotten.... Ronald, Beauxbaton, Griphook, Linguini, Jeb, and Evanescence. Not too shabby. But not worth it if I fail finals. :P Quote
