The problem with OOXML is that it cannot be implemented by anyone other than a single vendor because the format as defined contains references to specific behavior without actually specifying said behavior.
For the actual stories, which likely go into the database of the CMS and contain little more than a few paragraph tags
I feel I'm qualified to respond to this, since I have actually written a CMS for a newspaper.
Odds are that nytimes uses something NITF to store the stories themselves.
The reporters use either InCopy or Quark CopyDesk to write the stories, marking up their stories in that tool. An automated process then converts the stories to NITF. Paragraph and Character styles get converted as needed. Then the whole NITF gets stored in their database.
When needed, the NITF gets converted into html when the user views the story (who knows how, although XSLT is what we use).
If you go look at the specs for NITF, you'll see a very complete markup spec that handles everything from embedded video to an italicized word.
No, it's possible to make a great-looking website that adheres to the markup rules
But if you have any object tags on the page, you get the fun choice of following the xhtml spec, or supporting non-IE browsers, since the embed tag is invalid in xhtml.
If you're suggesting that with no body, no blood, no weapon, no witness, no evidence of her death, let alone a murder, that is enough to prove without any reasonable doubt that a person is guilty of first degree murder, I pray you're never on a jury.
I'm saying that it's unreasonable to think that she planned this extremely elaborate hoax. Especially since her entire plan is predicated on Hans being charged with her murder. Otherwise her kids would've stayed right where she left them, with Hans.
Don't forget that this all happened 2 years ago. You really think she's been hiding out for 2 years? No one that can identify her has seen her?
She went grocery shopping and then left the car, filled with groceries on the side of the road as part of her master plan, yet when her kids testified at the trial, they didn't say anything incriminating like "daddy threated to kill mommy"?
She may be in Russia with her kids. I don't claim to know. I will say that there sure seems to be reasonable doubt.
Really? You think it's reasonable that she: A. got a fake passport B. got someone to buy her a plane ticket (the only person to withdraw enough cash to buy a plane ticket was Hans) C. flew to russia, leaving her kids behind with Hans. D. hoped that someone would notice she's gone and file charges against her estranged husband E. has been hiding in russia, not making contact with anyone who knows her for the past *2* years.
She's dead. She's not in russia, it's not reasonable. She had custody, Hans didn't. She wasn't about to lose custody of her kids, she had no reason to frame Hans for murder and run off to Russia.
some attorneys have posted indicating that they have read the transcripts.
Unlikely, considering this trial has been going on for 6 months.
Unless you've devoted 6 hours a day, every weekday for the past 6 months to this trial, you don't have all the facts. (Even taking lawyer's penchant for repeating themselves into account)
They don't "give you your Miranda rights". They "read them to you". You have the right to remain silent at all times. Your rights don't start to take effect when the police read them.
and being told he couldn't stay in his mother's house.
His mom testified that that wasn't the case. She also countered his testimony that his car was stolen, and she said that she was surprised that he had taken her rental car.

For the love of god. You're using base 10 numbers. Unless you're going to say "I have 1000000000b megabytes of ram" instead of "512 mebibytes of ram".
After all, you should use base 2 since computers use base 2. Don't covert to base10 numbers.
No, you've got it backwards.. 1GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes, 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes.
no, you remember when you first figured it out.
The very first harddrive by IBM could store exactly 5 million characters. Not 5,242,880, but 5,000,000.
If 8bit bytes is really why people use powers of 2, wouldn't it make MUCH more sense to use octal?
Utter nonsense. For my OS to say I have "4.6G" of disk space available, instead of "4.9G" requires the exact same amount of math.
As soon as the OS started using decimals to report file sizes it was using base 10 math.
No, it would be nice if everyone (including your braindead OS) would start using decimal prefixes.
You do it in your head anyway. Every single person who looks at a file that is 1,500,000 bytes says it's "1.5 megabytes".
There is absolutely NO reason the consumer should be exposed to binary math. NONE.
Don't forget the aim bot.
Care to give an example?
Except when it doesn't. Network speed is always base10. So is CPU speed.
My OS gets it right. GB = base 10, GiB=base 2. Pretty much all linux tools use SI prefixes.
You're using base-10 numbers when you say "20 gigs".. you should use base-10 prefixes.
I know it's an unpopular viewpoint here, but we programmers are *wrong*. The user should NEVER be exposed to base 2.
So make the window wider. There's no reason your IM window needs to be 300 pixels wide.
If by "most people" you mean "a small handful of people" then yes.. "most people".
I don't think you understand what the pidgin controversy is actually about.
It's not about a text area that *can't* be resized, it's about a text area that automatically resizes.
It starts as one line.. as you type your message, the textarea grows as your message wraps. Starting out as 1 line, then becoming 2 lines, then 3.
Increasing your font will increase the size of the text area.
The people forking pigeon want to be able to drag the divider between your textarea and the message view.

That's a movie plot, not real life.

A. got a fake passport

C. flew to russia, leaving her kids behind with Hans.

No they didn't. The judge said the defense had to call the guy as a witness in order to introduce that testimony.
The defense never called him as a witness, despite being allowed to.
I don't find the fact that Reiser's best friend confessed to 8 non-existent murders in order to taint the jury pool odd at all.
It's not even good. I'm not surprised that Nina's body hasn't been found.. neither have all the files I had before I tried out ReiserFS3.

His mom testified that that wasn't the case. She also countered his testimony that his car was stolen, and she said that she was surprised that he had taken her rental car.
He did say it was stolen.. but his own mom testified against him, saying that he told her that he was "working on it".
He confessed to killing people who are still alive
