New York Lawyer, my good man, thanks 10,000 times for your work and effort, but as a non-lawyer I have NO IDEA what your post means. It must be bad, but really I don't know what it means. Can you tell me, a non-lawyer, what it means other than "You're screwed" or some such thing? I just don't know...
Actually, the fact that I thought it was real just shows how sad and pathetic the state of affairs in our country has become.
No, it shows how gullible you and other 20-somethings are to believe whatever you read on the Web. Critical thinking is no longer in vogue, the "truth" is whatever the Slashdot Group Think and Twitter / Digg / Whatever pipe to you. Blogs have to be more accurate than "real" news sources, right?
It is a crime to purchase or accept property that you know or believe was obtained through theft.
This, by the way, is why the folks that bought the iPhone are on the hook. The "finder" made no attempt to locate the actual owner, and instead sold it to that Web site for $5000. In other words, technically stolen property. The Web site knew or should have known, as reasonable people, that it was technically "stolen". They paid $5000 for it. Certainly not the act of a legitimate "news organization".
7/10 -- pretty good, but you could use a bit more tinfoil.
Clearly you don't understand or realize the extent of "data mining". As well, my public library reading list requires a search warrant. Not so with Amazon, my employer / landlord / banker need only pay up.
Data mining is *BIG BUSINESS*, what do you think people PAY for that data for?
Why should I care that Amazon builds an aggregate summary?
You might care if the books you read and the things you highlight come up at your next security clearance interview. As well, it may take you some time to realize why you are getting certain types of clearly targeted spam. And, down the road, maybe you just don't fit in to that condo you want to buy, maybe you'll wonder why and where they got their data. Trying to adopt a child? You might want to be concerned
This is why I still don't own a "reader". I'm willing to go as far as PDF readers, i.e. some tablet device. But if I can't get it as a PDF, fine, I'll buy the paper product.
Firefox is a has been. People in the know are switching to Chrome or Safari. People who aren't are sticking to IE like they always have. Unless they get back on track, I seriously doubt Mozilla will still be a major player 5 years from now.
This is just more evidence of the transition of our society from whatever it was, into a Nanny / Police State. You muct not question The Law / Rules, and use common sense. To do so is to be a "Bad Guy".
Nope. Sorry, should have made it clear, some kind of "helper" exe. But I wonder, does it work on any browser or only IE? That I don't know. Perhaps the "helper" exe is an... (get ready) ActiveX componant? Of course they are not calling them that anymore...
I am not talking about the American people and the British people, I am talking about those yellow pixels. They have started throwing those pixels, but they are not pixels, they are booby traps to kill the children.
Now, this isn't meant to be flamebait, it's an honest question:
Isn't the BSA really just a front for Microsoft? Isn't most (virtually all) of their business cracking down on pirated installs of Server 2000, Office, and SQL Server?
Slashdot Mirror
This will, I think, shape up to be a filthy comment section...
So, your "insightful" post boils down to: Maybe the ME's can make it work, maybe not. Yes... "Insightful".
When China does it, the world protests. all the space junk created. However, when the US does it, it's to save other satellites
Good god, man, cable TV signals are at steak here!
Nice use of my MCSE, no?
Maybe you should have kept your nose clean and OUT OF FEDERAK PRISON? Mmmm?

Yes. The other times were filmed in Hollywood.
You fail. They were actually filmed at Groom Lake. You're a rube.

You do realize that all data is for sale, right?

Because as other posters have noted, actually trying this in the office web apps preview on Skydrive seems to refute your claim.
So, you're bitching at me with second hand info you haven't checked out yourself? Is that what I'm getting here?

Only once?

Firefox is the New Netscape! ;)
Hopefully Firefox will address the memory issues before implementing this feature...
Firefox has no memory issues, what you're seeing is a user issue. Just as the Firefox Devs...
What are you blathering about? A Tea Bagger, are you? Crawl back under your rock.

Parent IS NOT "informative". You may not create new documents with this web app unless you have the EXE installed. The Parent is "Uninformed".
Yes.
You aren't allowed to create new documents on their service without installing it.
IEXPLORER.EXE ?
Nope. Sorry, should have made it clear, some kind of "helper" exe. But I wonder, does it work on any browser or only IE? That I don't know. Perhaps the "helper" exe is an... (get ready) ActiveX componant? Of course they are not calling them that anymore...
As a number of people in the Seattle Times Forum have noted, using this "web based" Office product *requires* downloading and installing an .exe
