[ale] Google to distribut StarOffice for free

[Brian Stanaland]

If I recall correctly, Star Office for Solaris and Sun Java Desktop (Sun's
Linux) are a free download from Sun.  It's also a free download for Solaris
Express Community Edition which is what I'm running on my SunBlade 150 at
the office.  As far as differences go, Star Office has more filters for
proprietary formats than OpenOffice.org does.  I believe there is a
difference in the included database but since I don't use it I can't say for
sure.

Einstein never accepted quantum mechanics because of this element of chance
and uncertainty. He said: God does not play dice. It seems that Einstein was
doubly wrong. The quantum effects of black holes suggests that not only does
God play dice, He sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
