Re: [libreoffice-users] Download fails

Hi :)
Getting a new web-browser is hardly similar to knocking the whole house down.  It's more like just 
replacing the door rather than repainting it.  Hmm, it's not even that much because you can easily 
have 2 or more web-browsers on the same system and then just just which you feel like using at any 
particular moment.  

Yes, renaming the file-ending is easy for some of us but actually on a Windows machine it can be 
quite tough because the default settings are to hide those endings.  So renaming ends up with a 
file called 
blah.msi.man
except you don't see the .man so when the file keeps doing the same thing it's just not easy to see 
why.  

Going back to the analogy re-painting can be a pain because you have to either 
1.  leave a little border all around round the edge so that as the paint dries you can leave the 
door shut
2.  when you next try to open the door it's stuck and rips some of the paint off the edges but 
leaves other bits
3.  leave your door open to let your neighbours and passers-by in.  With oil-based gloss that's 24 
hours.
So what initially seems the easiest and cheapest answer can easily turn out to be more of a pain 
(and more expensive if you nodded off and your neighbours nicked your stereo).  

Regards from 
Tom :)

So you were wrong, then?

If you don't like the colour of your front door, 
one solution is indeed to demolish your house and 
build a new one.  Or you can just repaint the 
front door.  Just rename .man to .msi.

This is a hoax.  See Wikipedia: "In fact, the 
Eskimo–Aleut languages have about the same number 
of distinct word roots referring to snow as 
English does ...".  Buy yourself this for
