Okay, look. Some head honcho from ODF put it this way: "Microsoft has plenty 'interoperability Directors', but no 'compliance directors', what are they aiming for by aiming for plain compliance"
There is a lengthy discussion about the microsoft appointed staf to ODF. They even requested current lead of ODF to stand down cause hes "biased".
And well... having non-biased-against-microsoft people in a non profit organization, id say, would be contrary to their keeping their good money.
Only people in their wallet could ever support their petty arguments. They say "we comply!", but make no effort to actually be interoperable with ANY other ODF supporting suite (google, koffice and some office plugins).
Id say this is a shortsighted stance: in no time, we will have a sleep/wakeup icon vm on the desktop and you wont even care if its running windows or linux.
Its not about the law and its not about which party fucking sucks (and believe me: I grind an axe with the engraved face of Benito Juarez that will take a Panist head soon enough).
Its about the net NOT being subject to ANY KIND OF REGULATION. Its about making it clear to any gray burocrat, regardless of party, that his/her PAWS have no place anywhere NEAR the net.
If your stance made any kind of sense whatsoever, the IFE stance would not have included a letter to youtube executives. It wouldve been directly against the protofascist PAN party but hey, you cannot prove the party did it at all. You say that they publically say they did it: did they also say it was made out of federal funds? Why the fuck? They have much more money in off-government funding than any other party!
This gray burocrats need to take their PAWS of MY NET.

What Im saying is that their "interoperability" "effort" is no such thing if they cannot ACTUALLY INTEROPERATE.
HUH?
You dont get it, do you?
What rock did you crawl under from?
Any IT pro will tell you .gov is the most important buyer of IT all over the world.

Plenty: google doc, koffice and another MSOffice plugin.
The lead of odf posted an interoperability table: ONLY MSOFFICE is completely incompatible to ALL of the other implementations.
OK...
NO, microsoft DOES NOT NEED to "borrow" any oo.o code. They ONLY need to look at oo.o produced FILES.
And, BTW, they could LOOK AT THE CODE and then implement themselves another version: that is NOT a copyright violation.
Copy-paste is a violation, looking at code and then writing your own ISNT.
Not true: looking at GPL code and then coding your own thing is NOT a gpl violation. Taking the written code into your software is.
nonononono
All they need is to go into oo.o, save an odf spreadsheet file and look at the results.
There is NO WAY to claim that an odf or any outputed FILE from odf is gpl.
In other words, they only need to treat oo.o as a blackbox what you say is of concern (which, imho, isnt).

And how will you be able to differentiate anmongst party-produced content and individual produced content?
Elimanting the posibility for anonymity, hey?
Fucking fascist pigs!

The swine flu is much more spread on the states than in Central America... sheesh, catch up on the news. Patient Zero is from Wisconsin!
You beg, sir, for news for ignorant tidwits. Nerds are supposed not just have a brain, but they are expected to actually use it.
Please proceed to a random Fox News blog for something more akin to your character.
It is...
A 45,000 people march is building up. They demand the president to stand down.
In México, last wensday the electoral institute called for a takedown of a Youtube video that criticizes a governor.
It was ultimatly taken down by DMCA notice from EMI since the video contained a song owned by them.
Im trying to build up some noise arround this cause im sick and fucking tired of people just not caring.
Im going to take this one to the last consequences, so help me god.
Bull.
How are they to know if it was a party or an individual? There are at least two parties that would benefit from it: which one is to blame?
My point is that the net is not what lawmakers had in mind where they limited messages "against the dignity" of a party or running politician.
It makes sense with radio and tv because they are state concesions, but the net is not one of those: it is free, open and global.
This fuckers need to get their hands of my net.
In soviet russia...
The french gendarmerie, if I remember correctly. Some german city parlaments as well.
Well it IS more confortable, wouldnt you say?
Some electoral institution is attempting to block a YouTube video that criticizes a politician.
Damn.
Well... check the current state of your genitals and orifices: that will certaintly provide some clues.
In any case, Id like you to post any correction (aside from the obvious adds vs. ads): I like to write as well as I possibly can.
Did you have to ask?
No, it isnt. And I'd wager a whole LOT of people here at slashdot are also non-native english speakers or writers.
Are you a grammar teacher?
ID call that psicological abuse... I guess its a semantics problem.
