| 00:40 | | * gnolam reduces the error of his radiation readings to < 1%. |
| 00:40 | <@gnolam> | Ahh, fudge factors. |
| 00:41 | <@SmithKurosaki> | ^5 |
| 00:42 | <@gnolam> | And now, to add an artifical error to them. |
| 00:43 | <@gnolam> | Or, well, tweak the artifical error anyway. |
| 01:25 | <@gnolam> | Explain to me why OpenOffice Calc lacks a function to round to significant digits. |
| 01:25 | <@Namegduf> | Because all parts of OOo but Writer suck. |
| 01:25 | <@Namegduf> | Writer is 'decent'. |
| 01:28 | <@SmithKurosaki> | It's better than having to use M$ |
| 01:29 | <@gnolam> | Iff you only write in the default language, don't want to do any fancy layout, and use a US locale. :P |
| 01:29 | <@gnolam> | SmithKurosaki: Not really, no. |
| 01:29 | <@Namegduf> | I would rather use most versions of the rest of MS Office. Simply because they're actually that much better at the job. |
| 01:29 | <@gnolam> | If Office had been sanely priced, it'd be worth buying to avoid dealing with OO.o. |
| 01:29 | <@gnolam> | +it |
| 01:31 | <@gnolam> | But if someone asks me what to use and money is an issue, I'm more likely to tell them to pirate MS Office than use OpenOffice at this point. |
| 01:31 | <@Namegduf> | Yeah... it's honestly not that good a product. |
| 01:58 | <@McMartin> | I've had decent results with OOo Impress, but that's because I consider lack of features in a PowerPoint clone a plus |
| 02:00 | <@SmithKurosaki> | I use the OO suite. I will only install my cracked Office 07 if some idiot doesn |
| 02:00 | <@SmithKurosaki> | 't know how to save files as .doc instead of .docz |
| 02:00 | | * McMartin did his thesis defense in Impress. |
| 02:01 | | * Vornicus gets very angry at OOo Calc because it doesn't, for instance, let him place a chart as a sheet in itself. |
| 02:03 | <@SmithKurosaki> | I figured out how to transfer it a couple months ago |

| 20:08 | <@McMartin> | Man. I've now managed to get deep enough in the guts of Win32 and OS X to love and hate them both for different reasons. |
| 20:08 | <@McMartin> | I've been dealing with printing logic recently and each of them do one thing gloriously right and another thing terribly wrong |
| 20:09 | < Vornicus> | Namely? |
| 20:10 | <@McMartin> | OS X's "everything can be PostScript/PDF if you want" makes interoperability really, really easy. |
| 20:11 | <@McMartin> | To the point that "print this PDF to this printer with these settings" is effectively a system call. |
| 20:11 | <@McMartin> | Windows, not so much. |
| 20:11 | <@McMartin> | On the other hand, Windows is perfectly happy with the idea of setting up a printer independent of any given print job. |
| 20:11 | <@McMartin> | OS X will let you *try* but if you do you have to give the user the option of sending NULL to Preview.app, &c. |
| 20:12 | <@McMartin> | There seems to be no way to turn off the "PDF", "Preview", "Print", etc. buttons, when in that context the only sensible approach is "Cancel/OK" |
| 20:13 | <@McMartin> | There *might* be a way to do this with Cocoa and config sheets, but I'll have to dig a lot deeper to find it. |
| 20:13 | <@McMartin> | (And this is a one-liner on Windows) |
