Thread Pruned: Smileys = light and funny ... burning of religious sanctuaries not so light and funny.

Well we seem to have crossed from constructive posting into ... well not so constructive posting ... /poor attempt at witty closure ...

Fair enough ... which means you have 9! Which means you have to prune one of the following Calax 9. (Calax) 10. (Calax) 11. (Calax) 12. (Calax) 13. (Calax) 14. (Calax) 15. Calax) 37. (Calax) 38. (Calax)

Well I think it is time out in the sandbox ... might I please impress upon the posting membership that blanket statements of mass destruction/annihilation of any people (i.e. ethnicity) really is not tolerated. Feel free to articulate an argument that is rationale and constructive, but moving into the sensationalist, requires me to move, and I so hate chipping a scale here and there ...

Okay Sand - added to the master list. Jorian, just add the 8 you want when you have them ready.

Well if you could please just put up the eight - as gifs - that you would like to 'enter' that would be great jorian.

Then that would mean everyone would have no cool incentive to suggest and perhaps even get a shiny custom tag

This one?

would you like to offer eight of those as options Jorian?

A fair challenge ... since the new software knackered stuff, I thought we could just start a new ... there'll always be new smilies after all!

Thanks Calax - since the horse has been added for mkreku - these two puts you @ eight

They are having trouble pushing their ODF XML since ODF (a la OO adoption) already has an ISO standard. I do agree Spider - it will just be interesting how much MS resists ... or does a double-speak in the near future, as California, in the US, is looking at ODF mandating for government.

More the formatting is not as good as it should be. For instance, the use of headers/footers with footnotes does not always convert well. So, if once everyone has a copy of the doc, I have found pages askew, graphs poorly transferred. It makes for a difficult session when there is finally a gathering, regardless of teleconference, video meeting, or face-face :? do not get me wrong, I actually really appreciate OO, but as long as the 'standard' processor/Suite for more formal/institutional environments, I cannot migrate - I tried it for 6 months and the extra work it required to harmonise was counter-productive in my experience.

The compatibility comes when converting to a processor (Word mostly) that the majority (of those with whom I work/exchange documentation) use. The document just does not convert (when using (OO) well enough to meet the needs of either my own expectations or my peers. Does that make more sense?

I would echo kalimeeri's observation that there is no real reason to use anything past 2k - especially if you are not working with others who need the entire Suite. For me ,the suite remain necessary due to the integration of the Calendar (Outlook) and lack of a more universal adoption of OO. That may change, however, in the next 5 years with more governments/industry moving toward ODF.

Xard - I am not sure that one that was - can you find an example of it? I have checked the old gifs and do not see one that has that double smile?

I really enjoyed using OO - problem is the compatibility problem. I do a lot of text a e-docs and most people, still use Word/Office as the primary processor/suite. Sand any chance you have a friend in Uni? The academic price is much more reasonable fwiiw.

I have queried admin for you Rhomal ... hopefully they can help.

For mkreku:

Silly rabbit you can't tag-team a suggestion ... now go find your own eighth
