Gnumeric and Excel

August 10th, 2008

I just ran across a neat little PDF showing problems in Gnumeric being fixed by their developers while the same problems in Excel not being fixed by Microsoft. Most of these are statistically related, and I do have a bit of background on them.

This is quite interesting, and in my opinion, proves the spirit of open source. ;)

What can you do with a second ethernet port? You can bond them together on the same network for load balancing and fault tolerance, and more.
