There's sarcasm...which I would say encompasses his first mention of Full House. But the follow-up sentence goes beyond sarcasm, or at least I think it does.
I would agree, but I'm still not quite sure he WAS kidding. I felt he was genuinely disappointed that there really couldn't be a Full House big screen movie. Yikes!
Maybe because a huge percentage of the people who visit the site do so during work hours. And a huge percentage of those people are working for companies that block everything but port 80.
Hey, remember those race car games where you moved your finger around in a circle input device really fast to make them move? I think Steve Jobs ripped that interface off for iPod!
No, it is not possible! They all knew it and stole the sleek, suave design from the oldest portable transistor radio! Oh wait....the iPod actually looks nice...while the radio looks hideous.
So you're saying that Word should assume you're going to print to a "standard" 8.5X11 printer?
It also seems like you're saying that a document should NOT be consistent, because if it is either resized or cropped, it is no longer consistent. I'm not in the printing business, but I do print documents as part of the business I'm in. We have multiple brands and models of printers and I have never had a problem with it printing differently (other than color quality) between two printers from Word.
It is possible that I just don't do the kinds of things that the person I replied to does, but I haven't had to print a test page out to make sure it was how I expected. I've used tables, pictures, headers, footers, and all of that and it has always come out on the page I expected.
And what if someone does print a legal contract on a 48" plotter? What would you consider WYSIWYG results to be?
I'm seriously interested in what situations you've had that result in different pagination. Was it because there were different margins? Was a font missing in one case and not in another?
I'll tell you who...the everybody average joe computer user who Microsoft tries to build its software to work for. Unfortunately, by trying to please everybody, it really doesn't fully meet anyone's expectations beyond the simple word processor function.

Yes, device independent because you should CERTAINLY be able to expect that whether you print on a 48" Plotter, a 8.5" X 11" ink jet, or an HP 3X5 picture printer that the output will be EXACTLY the same.
Yes, but if we stop using Fossil Fuels, then all this nice warm sun and strong wind will dissapate and we won't be able to sustain our power needs anymore!
Ah, the opposite of disparaging remarks...an endorsement of a product! Well, I bought one based solely on your endorsement, I then crashed into my house due to faulty breaks and killed my whole family. I'm holding you liable because you said it was a cool car and I should go get one.
I did a google search hoping to find a few Mohammad Chang's, but only got the above quote over and over. One thing I did notice is that there seemed to be a great deal of cialis ads along with references to Mohammad Chang....I don't know what that means, but anyway.
GREAT! So now all freaking IT security departments are going to up the minimum password length to like 64 in ADDITION to having to change it every other day, not being able to use the last 1000 passwords you've ever used, and requiring alternating caps, numbers, and punctuation.
Sure, I'm exaggerating a little, but the amount of time I have to spend on password maintenance is nearly making a line item on my time sheet.
Yes, I could see that if the guy sold people stuff for real money with then intent of exploiting the game to kill them and get it back to be sold again. I think even then it's a stretch, though.
And so now, because playing Lineage II and WoW is considered earning a living all broadband companies will force the players to upgrade to business accounts.
It's not a crime to kill them and take there stuff without a bot, so it should be no different with one. Just because it's against the EULA doesn't make it criminal.
Did you know that you have to buy the retail game to continue past the 14 day trial as well? $50 standard retail price on top of the monthly subscription.
I played LORD a lot, Usurper only a little. I also played a BBS version of RISK quite a bit. I always hated it when I'd log back into LORD and it would say someone kicked my ass.

I only took the argument to the extreme because if I just said an ink jet versus a laser jet, it wouldn't have been much of an argument.
Why don't we complain about something really bad about MS Word...READING LAYOUT!

My biggest issue with Coral Cache is that it uses port 8090, which means I can't waste time reading the article at work.

the site is hosted on a PSP which, while great at portable gaming performance, just doesn't stand up to enterprise server requirements.
CATAPULTS!

Exactly. There is no crime when it's not a crime to mug them in the first place. Imagine what they'd do to poor Fansy!

Pizza Hut could implement a 10 minute delivery policy! They'd just put the raw pizza on top of the car on the way to your house.
