I hate to be the prick who answers the theoretical question, but clearly the first post. First post was one minute after the article went up, infection is 12 mins. The first poster would have time to get a cup of coffee and return to find his machine hax0red.
Even an idiot can have fantastic karma. Not that you are one, of course.
Looks like this one should have gone into the "why don't people give a shit about grammar even though it makes them look like an ignorant buffoon" thread.
How do you expect it to "become" correct? I cannot envision a case where someone will eventually decide "you know what, people use 'of' a lot instead of have, we will add an alternate definition of 'of' that means the same thing as have, but only in places where there could have (or shit, is it 'could of?') been a contraction instead?
There is no combination of rules that will EVER make that correct, and no evolution that could be any less archaic than the above example. Converting a word to a noun is wholly dissimilar.
It's spelled GRAMMAR. An idication that you learned to read at some point adds some more credibility to any statement you make. You're basically saying, it's better to be first than to be right.
I used to live in New Brunswick, NJ, and what happened around us is already a lot of poor people got screwed out of TV after 9/11. Since the towers fell, analog TV really doesn't work too well in NJ, anyway. Not sure how the signal is in other areas, but around here it's practically impossible to use.
Sun has been disappointing, to me, in recent months. Being that I attended a lot of the Solaris 10 brouhaha in NJ, I was pretty excited about the prosepects of what it could do, and I had 4 V20z boxes to try it out on.
Come to find that Sun's own support for Solaris 10 and indeed for Solaris x86 is sad to say the least. Many of their management apps/tools do not support Solaris x86 or Solaris 10 yet. Major issues with, say, disk drives... patches are out for 9, but not for 10 yet. C'mon, folks, get with the program.
Their hardware's been OK, but frankly, that doesn't make up for the rest of the hell that is dealing with them. Don't get me started on their documentation.
Why run Microsoft Office 2004 I think is the better question (that you have attempted to answer in your post, but I don't think all other users would agree)? The whole point is that the poster was avoiding M$.

And he, if I'm not mistaken, is referring to the you're/your problem that the original poster seemed to be having at the time.

The way I clean my tub is with baking soda. Scrubs without screwing up the finish.
Look at that, only 15-20 years and they've just gotten it working.
