No, the loss of an entire city government in an pro-American and pro-Microsoft country would be a defeat that would probably have ripple effects which scare the poo out of Microsoft.
MS Office doesn't cost $400+ for everyone. Large businesses and University's get sweet deals. Also, as a student, I can go to the bookstore and get any version of Office or Windows for $5-$10 each. Considering this is where many people get their first experiences, it's not good enough that OO compete only on price.
One thing that really annoys me is how slooooow OOo is at saving and loading spreadsheets. On a multiple sheet book, Microsoft Excel saves instantly. In OOo, it takes 10 seconds (in it's native format). Since I save frequently, this is extremely annoying.
I've always wondered how these filesystems with metadata handle transferring files between different systems. It would suck to have all your MP3 info in filesystem metadata and then lose it all when you transferred to a system without fs metadata. Anyone have any insight?
Sorry, you are incorrect. Back to my original example... you could say "I have red-blue trucks" [ref]. Or in your example, you could say "I hate small-minded, self-important people".

There are no "likely"'s. There is a standard English. Note that I said "without context". Most people's use of incorrect grammar is ok, because there is context pointing to right meaning.

I'm very engaged in politics. The distinction is that I go to it, I don't want it coming to me. It's the same argument spewed again and again here on Slashdot. You have the right to free speech, but you don't have the right to an audience for that speech. By putting your politics in the middle of the parade you are making people listen to you who don't want to. They went there to see their local friends and for the children to get candy, not to see or be bothered with a political message. You're rude, just admit it.
In America, you'd better have insurance or we're going to ship you down to the county hospital and hope you don't die en route.
This is FUD that needs to die. If you're in danger of dying or your condition rapidly degrading, the hospital has to treat you right then and there. When hospitals haven't done so recently, they've lost huge multi-million dollar lawsuits.
I should also add that I've never seen in my many decades of going to parades, an advertisement for a Republican candidate on the State or Federal level. This is one of the reasons I vote Republican, they don't insist on cramming government or politics down people's throats.
Also, now that I remember, this year is the first year that only one State or Federal level candidate advertised in the parade. Guess who it was... Dean. It seems others are starting to realize that it's inappropriate.
Two adjectives conjoined before a noun distribute. "I have red and blue trucks" without context means "I have red trucks and I have blue trucks" not "I have trucks which are both red and blue".
Anyways, there are things that are tasteless, such as someone in the parade in their underwear. Would you agree that's inappropriate? Well a lot of people think that what you do is inappropriate.
It was a political expression only. No part of the expression involved commerce.
You parsed the sentence wrong.
Sure, you can do whatever you want. But most people don't like it. They like to see the kids get candy and their local people show off.
In fact, it disgusts many. Sure they're polite to your face, but as soon as you walk away, what do you think they say or think?
I make it a point to never vote for candidates that advertise during 4th of July parades. Not that I would anyways, as they're usually tasteless Democrats.
Haven't taken much history, have you? Human history is full of war and hatred. In fact, I'd venture to say that human history is one of war and hatred.

I bet they're really crying about that deal now.
They simply wanted to deal with a German company, not an American one.

What about when the other filesystem has no mechanism for storing metadata? How about transferring files over ssh? You gonna rewrite ssh?
I've always wondered how these filesystems with metadata handle transferring files between different systems. It would suck to have all your MP3 info in filesystem metadata and then lose it all when you transferred to a system without fs metadata. Anyone have any insight?
Do you think they allow you because they like you? No, they allow you because they're probably afraid of getting sued.
And since when do the "officials" necessarily reflect the wishes of the "people"?
1. Neither do you have to for SA.
2. Neither does SA.
3. So does SA.
4. Point granted.
Sorry I fucked up my post. Corrected version...

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will never vote for the guy after reading that wishy-washy crap.
So you're the ones ruining parades by turning them into political and commercial advertisements?
Asshole.
If that's an accurate quote, he's probably the only Democrat I'd ever vote for.
"1. Bush, George W. - US President (100%)"
Geez, like a needed a website to tell me that.
I hope someone just puts a bullet in the back of his head and is done with it.
I have compassion... for my family. For the rest of you fucks, I have only contempt.
We live in an age of war and hatred

Presidents don't "retire". They are always Mr. President. They are just no longer in office.
It's really an odd thing.
Anyways, he's as good as dead anyways. I think his brain is pretty much mush.
I'm sorry, but Ronald Regan was the greatest president, and probably the greatest leader, of all time.
