Because of all the Googlespam, I block all posts sent through Google Groups. I also block as many posts from anonymous remailers (for example, usenet4all.se, x-privat.org, dizum.com, tioat.net, frell.theremailer.net) as possible due to forgeries posted through them. No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited, trial or web wares OR warez for me, please.

There are addons for OpenOffice, but they aren't very efficient. You can also try Sigil : http://code.google.com/p/sigil/ -- Le Loup Th��tre - www.lelouptheatre.fr et trois sont les vaisseaux... - www.3vaisseaux.fr Picardie Th��tre - www.picardietheatre.fr

The size of the registry has no effect on efficiency, speed, or vulnerability. If, on the other hand, adding registry entries makes the program itself more efficient, easier to use, or faster to develop, where's the bad? |
