OpenOffice.org 3.1, with Many Improvements

With the release of OpenOffice.org 3.0, even quite recently, we have before the next version, OpenOffice.org 3.1 will bring us a few changes and improvements to this application, office automation.

Some of the most significant changes are related to graphics in various applications. One visible to the naked eye is the anti-aliasing, which smooths the edges of graphics (line, circles ,...) in Draw in Calc, Impress and Writer.
IDT Energy the addition of a few buttons to increase and decrease the size of the current source. In addition, it adds support for what could be called superrayado is, but as emphasized in the top of the letters.

Another addition is the most important medium of grammatical correctness as we write. In previous versions had implemented a system to correct misspelled words, but let us solve grammar errors in complete sentences.



Come away with this small list of changes, with better control of the media in presentations, which may now turn on and off at will, improved management in Calc, the implementation of macros in Base, which will create forms, as well as The syntax coloring SQL editor.

In addition to these improvements, OpenOffice.org 3.1 have been resolved more than 800 errors from the previous version. At the moment there is only an alpha version available, but already has set the end date of departure for the March 26 this year.

The Extraterrestrial Glow That Has Confused the NASA

NASA announced yesterday that in May 2006, a major source of visible light was not identified for 200 days. The frequencies of light that generated did not match with any known phenomenon. NASA has no idea of its Bender Ball

origin.
NASA calls the phenomenon? Bizarre Hubble observation? and? mysterious flash of light somewhere in the universe, "one who follows? taking a lot of astronomers confused after being detected by Hubble in 2006? according to NASA. (photo inside)
The truth is that nobody knows it. The? Spectral fingerprints? not align with any previously observed phenomenon. The fact that not even know if this is too far or too close to revealing.
Bender Ball

NASA researchers say? Could be a completely new type of stellar phenomenon.

The brilliant flash of light seemed little more than a point of light in a relatively dark background. Other similar phenomena would be observed supernova explosions or other well-known that match a spectrum of light.
Called SCP 06F6, this new source of light intensity appeared to rise continuously for 100 days, and after losing over 100 brightness. According to NASA, a supernova would not last more than 70 days, typically a few weeks.
Kyle Barbary of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), said he did not believe that any current model can explain what they saw. He said, "I do not think we know what it was until you look at similar phenomena in the future.
