Sunday Thoughts
So, it is Sunday afternoon. I'm trying to think of something to blog about. I'm trolling other blogs looking for material to steel when I notice a bunch of stories about that report about who killed the Lebanon Prime Minister. Originally, the story is that an organized group of Syrian officials did it. Well, someone turned "track changes" on and got a bunch of names including the brother in law and uncle or something like that of the Syrian government. Anyway, This is about the tenth time I've heard of high level people getting screwed by track changes in MS Word. Maybe now that some highly dangerous governments are getting stiffed by MS, there will be a backlash that will get something done. The official line from MS is that "this is a feature, not a bug." That has pissed a lot of people off. Well, a lot of people who have been bitten by the problem. Let's see if the combination of the UN, who has gotten bitten by the MS Word bug recently and is trying to take over the Internet, and now Syria, a murderous corrupt family driven dictatorship, can convince MS to fix the "feature" without resorting to violence.
I suggest Open Office. You can save to PDF format straight from the application without any additional software. You are not tied to MS Windows either. That closes a slue of NSA infiltration and other hack attacks. Think about it.
