If this format is actually technologically superior and it is documented extensively then: WHY NOT USE IT
Because, for my money, its a waste of my money. Some of us outside the USofA are charged by the byte (or MByte where M=1000 bytes) for our internet traffic.
So for me plain ascii is the cheapest.
<P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">"Hello Rob"</FONT></P> or "Hello Rob"
56 useless bytes in only one line of text that really do nothing to facilitate the communication do they? Imagine that mess for each line of the message (because MS still dont know how to craft good HTML). Furrfu.
The quote is from an Emily Matthews poem. Umm not thats not it. I seem to recall it is on a bronze plaque, on a building in North Terrace, In Adelaide, South Australia. Which is some 3000 Kilomtres away now:(
Somewhere (that I cant remember) in my past I read a plaque fixed to something (that I cant remember) that said (paraphrased)..
"Tho I Pass this way only once,
Let my deeds be such that I am remembered for all time."
Sir Alec Guinness (whether he liked it or not) introduced me to a philosophy that the world can learn a lot from. He succeeded in leaving behind a legacy which gives him the closest thing we can currently call immortality.
Vale Sir Alec. Good show old man..
Now you have discovered the truth and have passed on to a greater stage, keep up the good work.
But Nike didn't DoS them. Hell, Nike didn't do anything. Someone else sent NetSol an (unencrypted) e-mail spoofed to look like the billing contact for nike.com asking to change Nike.com to their control. For one thing, this person wasn't supposed to be able to controll the domain name and for another, it was supposed to be an encrypted e-mail. NetSol screwed up on this one.
Way I see it, it's a bit like a chain collision on the highway, you dont go after the guy waaaay down the back who first hit, your insurance comapny goes the vehicle that hit YOU, who in turn goes the vehicle behind etc...
As I understand NetSols approach, even with a Mail-From security level there is a confirming email sent out to the listed admin contact, so someone at Nike is partially at fault here.

The guys at scn-inc claim to be able to deliver 200 channels over DSL, and have been doing so for some months now.
Why not de-orbit the thing staright at the sun, maybe get some more data as it goes in.

Or crash it into Mars, then maybe we WILL find life there..

Now all I need to do is learn how to touch type..

You've never been in one of those wrecks. From experience,
Maybe I should have prefaced that by saying "In Australia".
I believe UK works the same way, after all Australia inherited common law from UK.
