No, I'm not joking. That's the code in "test.xml" sitting on my desktop.
It must be Slashcode mangling it. I directly copied and pasted the resulting XML, and there is not single semicolon in the original. Also, Slashcode has sprinkled a few random spaces into the code.
How do "we" all know that, when it's not out in stores until Oct. 22? Are you an MSDN subscriber?
Having said that, for those curious, here is a sample of XML generated by Word, just now created by me. I'm posting this using "Code" as the format so it is formatted correctly.
Here is the original message (I gave it HTML tags so you can see the formatting I gave it in Word):
This is a <b>test</b> of <font face="verdana" size="24"><b>XML</b></font>.

A Linux minority will become a a Linux majority not by flaming Valve for not porting the game to your OS (even when Half-Life 2 requires certain things like pixel shader features and so forth which freeware graphics/audio frameworks on Linux do not provide whatsoever...but that doesn't matter as long as you can flame some company for no valid reason).
Linux has many other things keeping it in the minority in the gaming department. Your bitching about it on Slashdot won't change that.
It's a server OS with some desktop environments for those admin-types and hacker-learners who like the familiarity of their server OS at home. I'm sorry, but that's how Linux is right now, and contrary what the raving zealots you run across now and then say, Linux won't be there for a number of years (and by then, Longhorn will be out, further setting things back). The nature of Linux itself is of a server operating system and not a hardcore gaming experience. I'll go so far as to say that it's an admirable feature of Windows that it crosses so many boundaries with varying degrees of success.
People will probably consider my post a "Troll" but I won't be surprised. I'm tired of this victim mentality.
If we followed your mindset, we'd still think the world was flat.
Utter nonsense. If you followed my mindset, you'd realize Half-Life 2 is not only not viable on Linux, it's impossible. The world being round is a bit more viable, don't you think? Seeing as how the world actually is round and all.
Completely different situation, but Slashdot posters LOVE analogies and metaphors. Especially if they can use an automobile analogy.
You meant to say "Linux." "GNU/Linux" is ridiculous. I could easily strip out all GNU apps on my Linux system and still be running Linux as my operating system. You know, the system operating my computer and controlling my devices?
Oh, please. Look how irritable and angry you are. You have a chip on your shoulder.
SDL is nice, and so are a lot of other freeware graphics/audio libraries, but most every developer will tell you they still don't stand up to the massive suite of DirectX technologies. You've probably never even bothered with a DirectX app or an SDL app. I have done both.
None are equivalent to the speed and power of DirectX. Hate Microsoft all you want, but that's just something you have to cede at this point in time. Why don't YOU do "research" before spouting off and insulting people for giving their opinions on the poor state of Linux gaming development?
Look, the founders of Valve are former Microsoft coders. They're comfortable with Windows. The "Linux gaming market" is much, much too small to warrant all the extra effort in porting to it when they could be concentrating on this highly-anticipated sequel they have in development. I hate when people refuse to see the other perspective because they're too busy trying to be idealistic for a minority community.
Sounds like a good excuse to reinstall something other than a Microsoft operating system.
Har har har.
Or, they could just download and install the patches that have been out for good while now. In the midst of reports of Linux being the most breached OS and SSH and sendmail vulnerabilities, I find the submitter's comment amusing, unnecessary, and hypocritical.
I wonder how many Linux/Apache systems get web pages defaced via. SQL injection or other PHP related attacks, but do not lead to the box being rooted? Any numbers?
I don't know, but just last week it was reported that Linux was the most breached OS in existence. Take that how you will.
With the currently in-beta MSI 2.0, Windows will never have to reboot again, even when installing core system updates (which Linux currently has no claim to fame over).
Oh, please. This one time I do have to stand up and say whoever modded it as troll is an idiot. That was not a troll. It was just me giving my opinion.
Oh, shut up. Everyone Slashbot attempts to start some sort of "boycott" against absolutely everything under the sun. As if the miniscule revenue from a bunch of Slashbots is keeping the company afloat. These boycotts disappear just like the article they're posted in that disappear off the front page and are forgotten.
Nobody questions it because it's obvious--if albums are freely available online, people won't see a need to purchase it when it's already right there. Hence, lost sales.
The "I buy a CD if I like all the mp3s I have from it" argument is bogus and is composed of a very small minority.
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, it's good you posted that...some people believed I made mine up.
And yours also has random semicolons put through it like mine did after I posted it. Interesting. Freaking Slashcode.
P.S. Nice try on the sig. Those are for APPLICATIONS not Linux you dolt.
According to many wackos, the "userspace" is part of the operating system, i.e., GNU/Linux.
Get back to me when you don't have a chip on your shoulder whenever someone points out the obvious.
So use an earlier version of Office supporting XML and save it to a different format. This is really easy. Don't be so paranoid.
No, I'm not joking. That's the code in "test.xml" sitting on my desktop.
It must be Slashcode mangling it. I directly copied and pasted the resulting XML, and there is not single semicolon in the original. Also, Slashcode has sprinkled a few random spaces into the code.
Not that it affects legibility any.
My point was to post a sample of Word 2003 XML.

regardless of Linux's technological supiriority
What "technological supiriority?" Seriously, I'm curoius what you meant.
PS. Don't feed the trolls! Given the recent DCOM fiasco, it's fairly obvious where this thread goes...
Yet, it's not trolling to say, "Sounds like a good time to install a non-Microsoft system, hyuck!" Slashdot double standard #38,986.
Sounds like a good excuse to reinstall something other than a Microsoft operating system.
Har har har.

Windows Update does not come configured to automatically download and install updates for you.
It won't stop bugging you until you configure it, and the default option is to automatically download and install updates.

I don't know, but just last week it was reported that Linux was the most breached OS in existence. Take that how you will.
On the contrary, the NT kernel is considered to be damn good. It's the stuff on top of it that gets the bad reputation (unfairly, in my opinion).
P.S. Off-topic, but I'm sick of any criticism of Linux automatically being labelled "FUD." It's silly.
With the currently in-beta MSI 2.0, Windows will never have to reboot again, even when installing core system updates (which Linux currently has no claim to fame over).
Name a single example.

That's micheal for you. He's well-known for interjecting a bit too much for many people's tastes.
I just don't like him because he cyber-squats Censorware.org for no reason.
In any of these cases, what has he lost? Nothing. You weren't going to plop down $7 for his paperback anyhow.
And now you don't have an incentive to ever plot down $7 because YOU ALREADY HAVE IT.
I despite that argument because it's never any less illogical. It's dependent on a ton of maybes.
I don't understand what you want changed. You want the ability to download music you haven't paid for? Clue me in.
