Strange turnaround...
First they say that they had nothing to do about it they when confronted by evidience they say they was framed...
As third option they will probably say - everyone doing it so why not us too - we are doing what everyone else is doing! We should not be considered criminals! We have done nothing wrong.
Most of the complainer are just closed source shills who wants to use the normal divide and conquer method to try and alienate different open source grounps against each other.
IBM just added 30+ developers to Open Office.org and OopenOffice.Org just released 2,3 of course closed source shills are out to spread damaging rumors about one of the most successful open source project in existance.
Is is just me or have we not seen a large increase in astroturf shilling recently ?
If Theo wants all developers that take BSD code to make all changes available under the same license - why not simply change the BSD license to require that ?
Like - you know - the GPL licence that require just that.
If one wants a GPL style treatment - one need a GPL style license!
"I'd say that when it comes to patents, M$ is pretty fair player (in M$ish sense of word "fair"): they did spread some FUD, but didn't sue anyone."
Sorry thats a myth.
Microsoft hat threatend to sue several players for software patent infringments by sending their laywers after them.
Since open source developers have no money to defend themselves with people like the creator of VirtualDub has been forced to remove support for Microsoft video formats from VirutalDub.
Since the description how Office '07 interpret those definitions aint in the specification - the specification aint a complete OOXML spec as used in Office '97.
Using moderation is a very bad idea. Aftonbladet used moderation to stiffle comments on its webb site and the registered responsible got sentenced for hate speach when one moderator let through a hate speach message on their boards.
Thus its better to have free speach but then have the possibility to report bad messages - and then remove messages with bad content. Its much harder to get convicted then. But one really need blogg software with a good way to look at all reported comments and remove them if needed.
Because inciting people to kill other people are not allowed in Sweden.
Gettings someone to kill an specified person or any unspecified person of a certain group is prohibited in Sweden.
The right to live are more important than the right to free speach in Sweden. Those that misuse the right to free speach to get people murdered and thus impose on others right to live are criminals.
In Sweden one can only publish books that are copyrighted. Any book that has noone claiming copyright for it means that the printer of the book are forced to take the responsibilty _and_ the copyright for the book. If the original author are found he/she cant disclaim their copyright.
Thus all books are copyrighted by someone - but it may not always be the original author.
Thus every book published will have someone who holds the books copyright.
I doubt Sweden is the only country that have laws like this.

Well everybody - except Microsoft of course - knows that the GUI don't have to be in the kernel.
What should be in the kernel is the code for handling the hardware and give those resources to programs in a secure way. Nothing more nothing less.
Yes, its a rehash - but sadly Microsoft bought enough influence in Washington to get that suit go away with a slap on the wrist.
So now it has to be redone - in EU and not USA.
If USA had fixed this problem beforehand, this suit would never had happened. But since USA screwed it up, EU has to fix it.
You know that this is slashdot - and here everyone also have lists of friends and foes ?
You are allready assimilated... restistance is futil!
why does this reads so much like an add for the book ?
Thats not a bug - its a feature!
Business plan:
1. Create a new Linux Distro or resurrect a old one.
2. Strike a deal with Microsoft to not get sued by them.
3. Profit.
The new distro name: Sellout Linux.
Absolute poker statements:

"Brain Differences In Liberals and Conservatives

Yep that moderator kdawson who has infested slashdot with a lot of crackpot stories lately.
One can use nice(1) to give a program higher or lower priority to the scheduler.
:-)
So if you have a program that hogs the CPU - be nice(1) to it!
Nice - OOXML is already outdated - even before it becomes a standard!
ISO makes money by creating standards - the more standards they create; the more money goes into ISO.
But why there are so many there that wants to create an bad standard ?
Dont ask me that.
So if we are sick and need a cure and the doctors 90 % sure that a procedure will cure one - one should take it otherwise one die ?
But when earth is sick and sciencetists are 90% sure its the CO2 emissions thats killing it - we should do nothing and let it die ?
Strange reasoning. Very strange resoning.

The remote machine should preferable save the syslog on a WORM device - for example a CD-R.
Its very hard to tamper with a write once CD-ROM.
Also it cheaper than the paper fed into a line printer option some people proposed in other threads.
Since the description how Office '07 interpret those definitions aint in the specification - the specification aint a complete OOXML spec as used in Office '97.
So the specification is flawed either way.
The specification is incomplete in that it references specifications that is not commonly available:
9 58261
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=254267&cid=19
Its based on an EU directive so the whole of EU will get similar laws.
Thus Google will have to shut down in the whole of EU if they do it in Germany.

Christianity has many many dark spots.

People being incarcinated or killed for herasy like Joan d'Arc.
So many companies that its impossible to count. One of them being Sun - there is a very interesting article describing how its done.
They basically do it like a a mafia outfit offering 'protection' .
