I hope your right, you got some good points. However here is my fear, take Keynote and everything else apple will throw around... so other solutions will exisit. A small minority of solutions. However MS can enforce the DRM on their own stuff with the DMCA if anyone were to write/create/whatever anything that can even OPEN those files. So what you have is a propriatary file format that you can ARREST people for supporting! Where DRM goes, DMCA follows. And if (when) MS decides not to release an Apple version? Too bad, because Apple can't make their own!
You are SO right. Openoffice tries to work with the DRM and the DMCA smacks them back. How long until Plugin X or Open Source App Y gets smacked down with the DMCA?:(
Does anyone else see that Microsoft, now owning Connectix and releasing DRM in office 11 will kill apple? Connectix for Mac will soon no longer be updated, and as soon as a MacOSX update 10.3, 10.4, etc breaks Connectix v6, then NO MORE WINDOZE FOR YOU on apple. But oh! Boss, friends, school et. al. are sending you Office DRM(TM) docs? Guess you better step over to www.dell.com real fscking quick.
This sucks. I like Apple. I want them to grow. But with this, and MS buying Connectix, they will die.:(
Why is it necessary to disable Microsoft Smart Tags?
Because I want people who browse my site to see MY site. If I have the word "car" or "PDA" I don't want links created where there were none, all pointing to cars.msn.com or microsoft.com/pocketpc. What's to say a link to www.palm.com would not be REMOVED with a future/updated implementation? I simply don't want Micro$oft distorting my information.
Put the above two lines in a file called "robots.txt" file and place that in the root on your web server. Google, the Internet Archive, and most other engines respect the robots.txt file. You can also add the following inside each HTML page if you want to allow indexing but DISALLOW caching:
I also added the line that disables MS smart tag parsing. Make sure BOTH lines are in every HTML page (or template) you have. Now you are on google, but NOT their cache, and if you change stuff noone will have the old copy. Not easily, anyway.
Unless you are a student (any maybe even IF you are?) the return on investment in a good accountant is worth every penny. A good accountant here in New York City will cost you $200. And there is NO WAY even a W2 earner (sitting in a cubicle working for someone, you're W2) can not save $200 by having a good accountant do their taxes. It also makes you as audit proof as possible, and you don't do any of the work! I highly recomend you do it.
And if you have an S or a C corp for you consultants out there, you have NO EXCUSE. No amount of coffe-sippin-while-reading-tax-books will replace the mountain of cash a good accountant will save you! The $200 investment is CHEAP! Get a good accountant, and let him do all the hard work and educate you on deductions, etc.
is what fails me. Clicking on "login" lets me know my browser (Moz 1.2.1) does not support 128bit SSL! I use the prefs bar to switch to IE6/WinXP and it works perfectly. Oh well. I haven't tried it in a while since I use IE just for that site. I should try it again because Citibank seems to be updating their stuff lately.
I use FrontPage. I write good HTML. Get over yourselves.
YOU do... and that's great. Actually a very valid point you have. The problem is will little tiny companies such as, oh, CITIBANK that have a "few" customers! What is a shame is the fact that they have to use IE to bank. I've tried Citibank for Business online, and Safari fails. KDE fails. Mozilla works, but only with the prefs bar plugin to change the id string to IE on WinXP. Otherwise Citibank fails. The problem is not the sites you design, but the corporate sites that millions of people would like to use to shop, bank, etc to make their lives a little easier. And needing IE to use these sites makes life easier, but a lot less secure.
I've had e-mail exchanged with Citibank on this topic, and they only test for IE and, to quote, "most of the time Netscape too". MOST OF THE TIME? Great.
If 32,000,000+ people are using Gecho engine (assuming AOL makes the switch), this will be great because it could very well force companies to do what you do! USe their frontpage but with the propper settings so HTML is clean and pure and written as per the standards. This can only be DoublePlusGood(TM) for IE, Netscape, Gecho, Moz, KDE, Safari et. al.
So the US Government can't tap e-mails of suspected terrorists, but the RIAA can drag you into court just because they say they have a.txt file to "prove" you downloaded stuff.

Greeeeeeeeeeat. I LUV this country.
Feed?
Who knew that the shuttle was running on new Apple hardware!?!
That's what I'm thinking!
Mozilla -> Phoenix
Mozilla -> Chimera
New version comes out (fatter) and another branch comes out (thinner).
Then again, screaming Mozilla is fat or vi is better will get you modded down without failure. Come to think of it though, yeah, vi IS better. :)
