It is Microsoft's job to follow their own standard (OOXML). They can't even ensure that their formats are being loaded properly between the carious revisions of their own product.
You obviously have an anal probe fixation. And, you still argue like a fifth grader. And, if you're agreeing with bws111 that the TSA is in accordance with the will of the people, I think I have your grade level pretty much pinpointed.
i'm really sick of retards like you polluting the conversation on subjects like this.
I'm not the one relying on on a fifth-grade level of personal insult to feebly attempt to add to the debate.
your opinion is based on abject fear and a pathological lack of basic human trust.
Yours is based on a blind trust of government edict -- a stance that defies historical context. Mine is based on a healthy lack of trust in extensive government power -- an actual belief in what you said next:
the government in a democracy is an extension of the will of the people
Yes, this ALWAYS rings true. This is why we now naked body scanners and gropings at the airports.
now go scream about the fascist government giving you anal probes... blah blah...
Wow. You are an intellectual giant. Your homeroom teacher should get a bonus this year.
Yes, forced sterilization does sound like a terrible idea. So does roving bands of lawless warlords.
You made the same mistake as another responder -- namely, the strawman argument. You seem to think or, rather, argue that legislated law is all or nothing. Why is allowing people to decide what they will and will not put into their bodies akin to anarchy? Your comment is ridiculous.
Three responses to my comment, including yours, which resort to personal attack in the form and tradition of playground name calling. Quite telling of their intellectual caliber. What can I say -- you're welcome?
Hooray, the strawman! Yes, it's all or nothing with legislative power, right?
Actually, no. Requiring citizens to put something into their bodies is an entirely different issue than gun control or... assault laws? You seriously want to go there?
Also, interesting that you use the word "dictate." Dictatorship is, in fact, what you're advocating.
Sometimes the law has to enforce the right thing to do because people cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
Sounds like a great argument for forced sterilization, forced abortion, wealth redistribution, abolishment of parental rights, quelling of free speech... the list is endless.
(Sorry for the delayed response. I was busy burning baby seal carcases (I make a tea from the ashes)) Yeah, I'll bring this all up at our next cross burning.
By the way, I'm starting to think that 99 and 1 are the only two percentages in existence. At least, that is, according to certain groups who must all be getting their thoughts and talking points from some central authority. Strange.
1. Zimmerman is not white.
2. If Zimmerman was black, this would be a non-story. All of the people crying for blood in this case, claiming racism, are themselves the racists.
...it uses an undisclosed vulnerability in the devices it targets to run a program on the phone that brute-forces its passcode.
You don't think Apple needs to patch against this? The fact that they can even get the program to run on the phone itself is an exploit and, quite obviously, this hole needs to be closed.
I don't know the answer to this question. As a user (and not a KDE/QT developer), all I know is that VLC will do this in Windows and in GNOME. The fact that VLC (as with several other applications like XMMS) will not stream in KDE seems to (apparently to the user) be a problem with KDE and not the various applications themselves.
If the problem is that the applications simply aren't communicating the way KDE expects them to, then I would ask why KDE is reinventing the wheel. I can do an smbmount and then point VLC to the file located past the mount point and it works fine. I would think the application would simply be given a file handle -- regardless of whether the file is stored locally or on the network. The Linux OS handles this just fine. Why is it a problem in KDE?
KDE is beautiful, but buggy:
It won't play videos over an smb:// connection. VLC simply throws an error.
Press the power button to shut down the computer. Now, wait for 45 seconds before the shutdown actually gets called.
I tried both Fedora 16 and Mint 12 KDE versions. Both distros exhibited these same bugs, whereas the Gnome flavors worked just fine. Either both of these distros have the same configuration issues, or these are simply long-standing bugs in KDE -- and they're both showstoppers for me.
(I did try the "Protocols=smb" fix to no avail, BTW)
If the manufacturers (Apple and Google) were truly interested in patching these "undisclosed" vulnerabilities, they could purchase this software and run it on test/dev devices to see how it's done.

Are you serious? You're a firmware engineer and you can't figure out what compiler to use. Further, you're developing for ARM and you think that Microsoft or Intel may be the best option? <br><br> NXP recommends GCC (Code Red IDE which is Eclipse-based), and ST recommends Keil, for their ARM micros. Just FYI. <br><br> Good luck on your school project.

Cool. Now, let's match photo IDs to voting registration.
If you're going to blame past presidents for our current situation with Iran, you might want to start with Carter.

Without MATE, Linux Mint 12 wouldn't even be an option for me (I'd stick with 11).

That is, unless it's filled with... bugs. ?? I don't get it.

Don't forget to mention that we're all racists, we hate science (damn, why did I get my B.S. EE?), hate nature, and we absolutely love pollution.
FOURTH year. Fourth. (2009, 2010, 2011... ) Even thinner and more pale now, eh?
1. Tell that to the US census bureau.
2. The desire to deport all illegal, Mexican immigrants is not racism.
1. Zimmerman is not white. 2. If Zimmerman was black, this would be a non-story. All of the people crying for blood in this case, claiming racism, are themselves the racists.
In other words, "guilty until proven innocent." That's idiotic.
...not to mention the bounty that the Black Panthers have placed on Zimmerman's head.
*facepalm*
