If a textual document format allows for embedding executable code, then any text editor should be able to do so. If the format does not allow such code, how can emacs embed it?
Or do these textual documents have nontextual elements?
Microsoft's invasion should be defended at the beaches. They should be thrown back into the sea before they create more FUD!
But as the Germans discovered at Normandy, that allows the enemy to use his heavy naval guns. In this case, Microsoft's lawyers. Tom Tom might win, but this does not fit in with the guerilla warfare model of open source.
Not only that, but "Guild" has the historical connotation of excluding nonmembers. How does the "Guild" propose to enforce that in the US, where the First Amendment ensures freedom of the press.
And frankly, letting the EU play it (and Google, now) simply because *we* don't like IE is ridiculous.
No, I "let" the EU play it because as a US citizen, I have no say in EU policies. Or would you prefer that we start an Amnesty-International-style letter-writing campaign?
To those of you saying that an irremovable battery is OK, what do you do if the laptop freezes up and the power button doesn't work? On my laptop I just slide out the battery (assuming no AC). I once had my mom's Thinkpad do that, and I just had to wait for the battery to die, as I did not wish to break a seal (the battery is external).
to get their kids viral infections treated with antibiotics, thus killing people with the beautiful antibiotic resistant strains of diseases they've helped create.
Maybe this is a silly question, but how do antibiotics work on viruses?

'Course, you're still stuck with the possibility that an application might ignore your default browser and launch IE.
Not in OpenSuse 11. :-)

And who outside of Redmond has the source code?
Wouldn't a box running Microsoft Exchange require internet connectivity?
I haven't been to an Indian school, but I suspect that they don't engage in this: http://www.nea.org/home/ns/30045.htm
It's not a matter of stealing, but of copyright infringement. In the absence of copying, how can there be copyright infringement?

Flash 9 was released for Windows/Max late 2006.
Flash 9 was released for Linux early 2007.
About 3 years to get Linux caught up.
Looks like less than a year.
with all your American-born advantages
Would one of those "advantages" be an educational system that prefers the affective domain to the cognitive?

Not for Jack Tweed See story .
But in a system with a contradiction, one can prove anything.
I want a workaround for the Law of Noncontradiction on my desk by noon Friday. Or not.
Except that it might not be paper. One can display LaTeX output as .dvi or .pdf (and Flying Spaghetti Monster knows what else).
I'll still rather do the active content in forms using MathML.
It's like playing Fast and Furious in rush-hour traffic, then worrying about developing carpal-tunnel syndrome from how you hold the steering wheel.

It permits hanging for treason, but not require it.
Apple stores also sell computers.
oops.

The last few grams of silicon?
Do you know that silicon is as plentiful as the sands of the desert?
The volume of a sphere is (4/3)xpixr^3. I suspect that you forgot to divide by the 3.
And Microsoft does the same thing with its internet tools. After all, the modern TCP/IP stack was first developed by BSD.
