And it can answer, yes, but OOXML is not published yet, it is still appealed.
Microsoft lost big with OOXML.
ISO can restore its reputation by pulling it. The ISO management however which takes full responsibility for the desaster needs to go first, then the directives fixed and EECMA's a liaison status revoked..
And you drive to your office in a car with DRM clamped down software components, no, you cannot install a non-certified radio...
There is never black and white, it is more a constant move towards more freedom, the expansion of the freedom zone. Think of Firefox that removed the IE lockin but now you can also take Konqueror and it just works...
So the question is not how to remain pure, the question is how to become more pure over time.
It is about compromise. Did you have a look at the details of the bill? I think its a deal. Bills are always the result of a parliamentarian negotiation. In the end you usually approve them.
Apparently they voted for telcom indemnification and tightened the rules in parallel.
What a hypocrite US media! First they report about the leak of private conversations of Jesse Jackson and no one criticises FOX for doing so. Then they insist on privacy protection and criticise the candidate for voting as his opponents.
KDE is probably the best Desktop out there. Version 4.0 looks promising and shows that they really care about technology. The earlier we switch the better for the platform because a platform grows when its used.
As long as we get a working terminal everything is fine. In particular KDE became now a coding dream. If something is missing for you go and contribute.
We see it with the eeePC, Linux is just good enough for the devices and for the average joe. No one wants VISTA. However, Microsoft can continue to sell XP. That would be cheaper for them. You just deliver what people want, okay, maybe another skin or so. No one really needs operating system innovation.
Isn't it covered by German German laws that were not prolonged? I guess you will also find some declaration that invalidated german copyright with the beginning of the WWII.
In my opinion restoration is a public benefit activity. what is it worth if the film is not made available for free afterwards.
That's true but you cannot say that they are very skilled. They just own any association and spent a shit load of money on it. I am sure ruthless Tobacco lobbying made politicians ban smokers. The same applies to Microsoft. They dominate and then politicians think: It's time to declonialise. This is what happens now, the dominos...
Yes, but then you are no free market economist. Monopolies are harmful for the economy, yet businesses try to get one. This is no contradiction. Yet, a free market only works when they don't achieve their goal.
No, he is a lobbyist, these guys deliver pre-developed messages. It is corporate policy and its true. He delivered the message twice.
OOXML is not their product. ODF is neither. It is an open standard. Anyone can use it. So why not compete on the merits of their product (uh, OO.org, uh) rather than over open standards.
ODf as the better designed format was openly admitted before. Said Brian Jones, if we had to start from scratch we would take ODF but there are these millions of legacy documents. Bullshit of course.
Yes, ODF is the better designed format and a wise business choice. It will help Microsoft to innovate because ooxml had all these rotten 199x legacy dependencies that were then removed by ISO. Still the design of OOXML is bad.
It is their autism in public affairs that worries me a lot. It is not about attacks, it is about people having fun to harass them when they tried to standardise a bunch of crap through ISO and to fight back in the lights what they did in the past to them.
It is not about a product but a file format. ODF won as html won. OOXML lost as MSN and compuserve lost in favour of the net. OOXML is a Microsoft crisis and McKee a professional lobbyist, no message without prior discussions and authorisation.
This is corporate policy, get over it.
He said it twice, I know some guys who were there. Why else would the OOXML chief evangelist now join the ODF committee at OASIS?

R&D means product development.
A simple truth: sometimes companies just do R&D to lobby the government, esp. in foreign nations. HP is an example, but also Microsoft.

Your political culture seems to be rotten.

It's preservation of national cultural heritage, so clearly a matter where the government can drop some 10 millions pocket money. You can
1. Become nice
2. Become smart
3. Become kool
4. Move open standards
5. Migrate your software to Linux

Well this is a cultural heritage task, no money making exercise.
I mean, he may be right that the whole foundation is just financial engineering.

Yes, but it speed was also not fixed when the film was shown. Which makes it very interesting. what is the "original" speed? How to present it right.
The missing stuff is like a tutenchamun discovery. I hope they will rebuild the original cinema where the film was shown first.
The author of the film T. Harbou was right wing. The twenties are difficult and Berlin was a melting pot of modernism.
As far as I understand there are a few missing scenes. What however is true is that it was always very difficult to understand the plot.
More informations means also better quality.
Has anyone build a Metropolis scenario for an ego shooter?
Users hate Vista. I don't why because I think Microsoft really got Vista right.
Your argument is right. It will be difficult to realize the growth in the future.
In business and politics Microsoft always acts as a bully and now it needs to pay certain bills from the past.
No, in fact Microsoft is forced to surrender and stop with their idiological policy against openness.
That's true but you cannot say that they are very skilled. They just own any association and spent a shit load of money on it. I am sure ruthless Tobacco lobbying made politicians ban smokers.

Could not agree more. Netscape did the same.

But maybe we will also get recordings...
Just kick the ximian guys out, the Microsoft fraud and return to KDE. Ah, and make a Debian installer based distribution. YaST is great.
But Suse has the Novell evilness features including Open XML support.
