    No, we can not agree on those laws. The first one is not a law, it is an axiom. One of our basic assumptions like conversation of momentum. I believe we only have those two :D
    The second one is already wrong. Transfer of energy does not increase Entropy. Why would it?

    Thermodynamics has application in ALL cases where energy is transferred or transformed
    No it has not. Reads the damn wiki article.

    A photon hits an electron, the electron changes "orbit". No energy "lost", no thermodynamics involved. The electron jumps back to its old orbit, it emits an identical photon, with same wavelength and energy: nothing lost, no thermodynamics involved.

    Last time some school kid with no physics in school wrote such nonsense, I gave two dozens of examples. Perhaps you find my old post.

    Thermodynamics has two single laws that have a general purpose application: the sum of the energy in a closed system is constant. Entropy is over time increasing.

    The rest of the laws are about ideal gases under heat and pressure. Should be clearly written in the wiki article, which you obviously did not read or someone rewrote it in bad/misleading english again?

    The core of the laws of Thermodynamics is a simple realization: if you convert energy to heat then it is hard/impossible to convert everything back into a "useful" energy.

    The law of Thermodynamics says absolutely nothing about converting magnetic energy into electric energy into electric fields into kinetic energy etc. p.p. Hint: get a damn clue what the greek introduction syllable Thermo means, aka as in Thermometer.

    It is actually pretty clear that I work in IT, and that we all hate:
    AD
    Sharepoint
    Exchange

    Those are not standard, they are MS bullshit "EXTEND" ideas.

    I basically work since 15 years in Java projects where we replace the outside requirements to interface with e.g. AD and Exchange.

    Which is actually from the Java standpoint pretty straight forward, as those systems interface with Java, but the rest of the IT wants to get rid of them,

    It's not your fault that you're completely ignorant as to their deep integration with Windows and Office on a level that any 3rd party tool couldn't hope to ever achieve.

    And you are pretty ignorant how many systems need to import an Excel sheet, but don't need to fetch it from Sharepoint. A traditional ftp to a watched directory on a unix host is enough.

    The MS tools don't solve problems. They create work for MS tool fans/experts. That is all.

    Your examples might be _extend_ examples, and for 2) I could have given a document management system standard, but my standpoint holds.
    The three examples your parent gave are simply bollocks and prime examples for Microsofts EEE strategy.

    I worked with the early implementations of Sharepoint, It was an unbackable version control system for office documents with some Wikis surrounding them.

    For that we have Atlassian Confluence since ... 15 years?

    Comparing Exchange/Outlook with open standards is an insult. That this baffles you is no wonder ...
    Outlook is an horrible unusable mess, no idea how you can think otherwise. Every funky standard feature the competition has, you have to google how to activate/use it, and then it only works half assed.

    My Mac happily connects to an exchange server, so does my android stuff. And: I have every damn functionality in its own App instead of an unusable monster. You can not even read emails in Outlook while you are using the calendar, are you retarded? The stupid way how the 'find this email/person in the address book' in outlook/mail ... hÃ?
