Actually, he hasen't written anything that I can see. If you actually check the project you'll see absolutly no downloads, no cvs commits, and only a two line description of what he *hopes* to build. My guess is he's just going to join all the thousands of other sf projects that are created and never have even a single commit. Very telling of the open source community in general, I think.
"I presume it was done using Linux tools" Then your presumption would be incorrect. It's a Macromedia file. It was built using Windows. Says something about Linux, doesn't it?
"I would see a lot of rundll's a lot of svchosts, and various other processes that are part of the operating system, but aren't invoked by the operating system itself."
You could have just done a little research. I'm sure you had to do some in order to use Linux. And no, you don't need third party tools (no more than in Linux anyway). You just need google and the willingness to learn.
Ok, just tried it here and got totally different results. This table is over 40MB nearly 500,000 records. Loaded it up, hit last record, split second later I'm there. Not sure what you're talking about, but I use access often and it's very, very fast.
Really? So did I. and it gave me the error I stated earlier. But I think I know what you did. you didn't select the tools menu and then validate html, you did the keyboard shortcut (ctrl+alt+a), didn't you. The keyboard short cut does not call the web validator via url, but rather takes the code of the current form and submits it via a post. That is different since the referrer never comes into question. Now thy this, select tools from the webdeveloper menu and click validate html. Then tell me what it says. Bottom line; the slashdot editors are a bunch of hyprocites. they complain about ms all day long yet they won't even pass their pages to the validator. Love, MOM.

Please make sure you have entered the URL correctly.
You're also ignoring the fact aht your code DOES NOT produce the same output. There are some spacing and maring attributs that you are not reproducing in your code but was there in the CSS of the original Word code. There are many more problems with your code that others have not mentioned. Let me know if you want to list them.
It may be smaller code, but it's not the same code and so will not display the same. The formating is now gone. Also your code is no longer standards compliant. I see now why so much OSS code is crap.
I keep hearning that Linus, Alan, et al scan the code so that nothing bad gets in, but what about one of them including bugs on purpose? Not very likely, I admint, but you can't totally rule it out can you? Alan is a self proclamed communist, I wouldn't put it past him.

Pray tell, how does Linux not support the notion of spyware? What in Linux prevents spyware from working?

Duh. That's exactly what he sid. The manager was running a older version of ie (5.5) and wasn't seeing the site correctly. His point was that if the site didn't render in 55, which is pretty new, then they did indeed waste a lot of money. I would tend to agree.
"It is really an interesting question on how far you're willing to go taking away freedoms/openness from your customers because a small minority does something illegal/unwanted with it."
Freedom? What freedom? It's a service they're paying for. They can stop offering it for WHATEVER REASON THEY WANT. You're not paying the bill. Why the hell does everything here turn into an argument about freedom. You have no freedom or right to anything except life, liberty and the pursuit of property (here in the US anyway).
I don't want to hear the pursuit of happeniess crap by the way. It's wrong.

No I'm not... ummm.. Actually, nevermind...I am.

C# is not a product. How do you propose they give it away?

That's because like two people user Emacs. Of course you won't hear of any viruses.
Were you paying attention? View|BCC. That's not exactly four levels deep.
He never said that. You should check your facts. It has been said by others, expecially in the media, but he never actually uttered those words.
3 Hours. That's why the delay is there.

And you're a fucking moron. Asswipe cockbox.

You fucking moron. Show the proof of that.

"Haha. Patents are funny." Try some real editing sometime.

I guess that makes you even fucking stupider. Two different people telling you what's up and you still don't get it. Fucking moron.
