Decision makers are not usually technically oriented people. They see "GIF" format and think "standard" not realizing there are multiple GIF standards. The same goes for ".DOC" files.
Better nip this one in the bud then. Make sure they are expecting a.ooxml extension, not.docx
Maybe they should take current features (RSS, spell-check, history, JavaScript compatibility, update, maybe even tabs) and turn those into plugins included with the base install. All enabled by default, of course.
Fair enough. But it feels like I am not allowed to disagree. Also, I don't want my hypothetical future children to learn something in school because someone with an agenda says they should know it.
For example, if you don't feel your child should be taught creationism in school, why should I be required to let my child learn things I disagree with?
However sometimes the life of the mother is at stake, and others the woman didn't choose to even have sex.
Honestly, how common are abortions for these reasons as compared to abortion for convenience? An abortion to save a dying mother's life makes sense, but in the case of rape you are punishing the child for the father's crime. It is certainly not the mother's fault, but to kill the child seems a bit extreme. Yes, it is embarrassing, but why are you willing to kill a child to save yourself some awkwardness?
Maybe we should be researching artificial wombs?
No matter what the restriction back alley abortions by unlicensed doctors could flourish once again.
How common were back-alley abortions before they became legal? People knew the risks of those, and so went to a licensed physician that would break the rules rather than someone with a coat hanger.
Also, I may just be hearing a lot of propaganda, but I understand that abortion clinics don't often hold a high standard of sanitation, anyways.
And if my moral principals require me to "borrow without permission" anything that I want to have or kill anyone I disagree with (where do you live?), the Government has no business interfering with that?
My point is: When does it become the Government's business?
Maybe with text ads or static images? Google's ads make it through NoScript and Adblock. I've even disabled Adblock on Slashdot, so all you need to get through is NoScript.
They could write and release drivers that let them access Linux and Mac file systems, for example, or to have released proper specs for the NTFS system. They didn't though, on the grounds that it'd make moving away from their domination more likely.
And Linux just had to go and ruin things by making it work anyways.

It didn't. The ISO is a non-government entity. The US's vote comes from ANSI, a non-profit organization.
Or try a server with some LAMPP, streaming audio/video, and some funky LDAP authentication backend. Linux is usually a lot eaiser to get running.
Especially the 'L' part of LAMP.
But Americans (theoretically) care and disaprove of all three.
They should probably go with a Vuze-like income model to reduce their costs. Just a tracker and a dedicated seed shouldn't be that hard on bandwidth.

What good is a perfected worded book that is four or more years old, and irrelevant compared to internet resources, as the summary informs?
Maybe we need an IT-wiki-ebook.
It has a problem with presenting facts in an orderly manner and often won't elaborate on some of the more advanced topics.
Wait, what? The bible does strongly imply that the earth stands still and the sun moves around it, just as it implies that the earth is flat.
Do you mind pointing out where it says this?
Number 2 would alienate an extreme number of Hillary supporters. I hope he says it :-)
It also blocks out many tracking pixels (those 1x1 images which many companies use to track use).
I could be wrong, but doesn't FF's "Block third party cookies" option do just this?
Maybe there should be an official set of "Made by Mozilla" extensions.

Acid3 only made it to 12 on my machine, before it wanted to install an ActiveX plugin (from MS, not webstandards.org).
I know this is going to get modded troll (because I am posting after 6pm, aka: non-US slashdot time)
