Okay, say it does mess with a satellite and crash it. I guess they would have to send a space shuttle up there to fix it? I guess they would have another means of communication and not just TCP/IP, but would that be crashed as well?
I wonder if there are a bunch of engineers at NASA out there thinking.... You know, if anyone knew this and this, they could really screw us over?
Of course, we would like to say they would never do anything that dumb, but?
I used Office 97. I knew that it "saved files as html".
My teacher said I knew nothing about HTML in my web page class. She said it was crap. I said how did you know?
Wait a minute, it was obvious! The HTML support in Office 97 was crap!
Then I used Office 2000 this year. It made great looking web pages. Well, my teacher and school uses Netscape 4.7. She asked me why I would use all these "advance features". I said because I know my stuff. She then told me no, it is actually because I don't know any better and my HTML is crap.
This is not a true story. But, it could be, which is my point. No trolls, I know it is dumb.
XML allows companies and industries to make their own markup language that can be viewable by a standard application, the web browser.
Arguements can be made to what a standard application is, and what browser you are using, but the point is, you can understand what the data is, where it came from, and how to use it. this is.
This is much more than Next Big Hot Cool Thing That Everyone's Doing So You Should Too.
I did. The company I worked for said they have different locations that need the same format. This format has to work with other companies. These other companies use the same format with other companies, so they use this format, etc.
MS has most of companies desktops. They have most companies word processing applications installed. They now have most companies browsers installed. Now, start combining these together, like Office 2000 does, and what will happen?
Quite simply, you will have to NOT USE their OS, Office suite, and browser to some extent.
Then the arguement can be made that, the cost to fix these differences is more than a corporate license to use them, and then add the problems and confusion with other companies we do business with.
Office 2000 has a format that is supposed to be compatible with Office 97 and Office 95. You say this is good!
Run some tests, look at the file size difference in this format vs. a 2000 format.
(Hint) Buy larger and more file server hard drives, and mail server hard drives, etc. The difference is huge, literally! (Especially if the documents have images_)
Better yet, learn the fancy words for the highers ups, know the technology for the real people doing the real work. Then you have the best of both worlds!
Think of it as a "markup language" for MS products. If you are using different MS products, such as Office 2000 apps and IE5, they should know what the document is and "render" it correctly.
This means a person can go to a web page generated by, say MS Word 2000, and click on the edit button in the toolbar that has the word icon. They can edit it, and save it again back to the web as you said.
Try viewing that document in another browser! Does anyone know what happens when you view that same document with Netscape6? I know all other browsers can't display it correctly. Even IE5 doeosn't always, so go figure.
How many albums of the Beatles White album have been sold as a record, a tape, and a CD? How big a difference would it be if people only bought this album once?
This could be true today with digital media, and the people selling this media don't like it! $
Unless of course you are not working and don't care what people think of your spelling on a weekend afternoon. And then, some people aren't sober enough to care either.
When my dad found out that he couldn't tape TV shows with a DVD player, he said "Why would I want to buy that then?"
There are many people that feel the same. Is this because this is a freedom we assume we have, or a freedom that we are losing in today's "high tech world" like many other freedoms.
If you are going to protest something, do it for the right reasons.
I read "Don't buy DVDs!"
I read "Don't buy PM1 VHS!"
Decide, then go further and block the companies that support the very thing you oppose.

You're right I just did.

Well, yes I can.
HAH! That is funny. Is HAH! perfectly valid as well? Maybe the exclamation point is not?

No, SATAN is used to find exploits in networks or something like that.

Tell that to the janitors in Silicon Valley.

Question: Wasn't there a boycott of PIII's because of a Hardware ID in the chip of some sort?
What if a company only made software that would work on an Athlon chip?
If I were protesting Intel, I would be happy for this. Maybe the people unhappy about no PM1 DVD release are not protesting the DVD industry?
Keystone Light! Ahhhhhhh
