the idea that we need a corporate filter on our culture is a false assumption
actually, you did need a corporate filter on our culture... before the internet, when vinyl and cassette tape were our distribution options
now artists and fans can reach each other directly
so now the corporation is looking forlorn and feeling insecure, and its shills (this retarded author) are attempting to justify and extend its existence artificially
the job of the average media company right now is simple: just die already
the problem with that is that nobody would be able to bet 200 million bux on a film then. only big media conglomerates can do that. films with spectacular special effects/cgi like star wars, dark knight, iron man would not be made.
fuck anonymity! i challenge anyone to find me, find anything more than my real name. i have never bought a single dvd. any movie i've seen has been 'stolen'. either i got it from a friend, from the local video shop or more recently from tpb.
because se phones are much cheaper and have better features than the competitors (nokia, motorola, samsung). i would pay a bit more for a memory card if i get a better phone at lower price. i completely agree with cameras. sony cameras are just pure shit. the lens assembly goes kaput usually after a year. and all that crap about proprietary mem cards applies here because they are worse than canon, nikon and are usually more expensive.
People like them don't get to become high up in corporations without being power seeking control freaks. Their ruthless arrogant self serving behavior provides them with a competitive advantage which allows them to fight their way high up the corporate hierarchical power tree structures to gain power over others. This is why their kind of personality type feature so prominently in very competitive environments like business and politics.
about the memory footprint difference: look at this. every gdi window in vista was stored in the video memory AND the main ram (for whatever retarded non-reason). in 7, ram usage barely goes up with number of open gdi windows. there are many other tweaks, but from what i understand this is the biggest one.
Now while it's true that the ODF spec lacks information on exactly how to store spreadsheet formulas, it does use almost the same syntax as excel...
if odf spec lacks info on storing formulas, how the hell can it use almost the same syntax as excel? let me correct you: odf is blank about implementing formulas. oo and other programs implement it by trying to mimic excel. such behavior is not in the standard.

no, what he wants are potholes. he wants to restrict the internet from being used to do something it can be used to.

anytime i see a list, i try to complete the meme!

like bill gates?
nice thought, but why in hell do you not type 'riaa'? why all the asterix?
The hard part is getting it to work without an upstream connection to the internet.
that's some huge understatement. it's not hard, it's impossible.
about the memory footprint difference:

you can be sure that odf will work everywhere unless there is a spreadsheet with formulas. text docs and presentations interoperate perfectly.
hey thanks for your line concerning the odf spec. i'm adding it to my sig. hope you don't mind.
hey why the hell are you replying the same thing to all my comments? seems like YOU are the troll here.
now the fun begins. when 'ms odf' becomes more widespread than the actual odf.
the thing here is that whoever is writing the odf spec should be told to 'Fix your fucking spec or shut the fuck up.'
i would add:
Fix your fucking spec or shut the fuck up.
i am going to post this as many times i can. in fact i'm goint to write it in my sig!
yes, because i hate microsoft and want it to die! i don't care if my own program is any good, i just want microsoft to die.
ms's reply:
Fix your fucking spec or shut the fuck up.
the following cannot be said too much:
Fix your fucking spec or shut the fuck up.
there is one thing the ac you are replying to has said that seems to be an apt reply to your ramblings:
Fix your fucking spec or shut the fuck up.
oh, i wouldn't have gussed that!
Microsoft, in turn, should warn governments about OpenOffice's general shittiness.
more appropriate.
amen!
Now while it's true that the ODF spec lacks information on exactly how to store spreadsheet formulas, it does use almost the same syntax as excel...
if odf spec lacks info on storing formulas, how the hell can it use almost the same syntax as excel?
