(front-page of Murdoch's "The SUN" newspaper, 13th March 1986). Whilst completely untrue (according to Freddie) you can drop this phrase into any pub conversation in Britain today and everyone over 35 will laugh.
Of course if you have to pay to read it, it must be true. Presumably the more you pay, the more true it is...

Well, since my gf discovered the iVibe app, our electricity consumption has decreased dramatically and she's allowed me to smeg around coding in yesterday's undies since she's deemed our washing machine as being surplus to requirements. Obviously this was before she exploded. Someone should tell Al Gore.
The effect appears to be proportional to the local density of WinCE devices and their frequency in attempting to BT pair with iPhones. Many Bofh's exploded to bring us this information. May the force be with us.
But Microsoft has added support for ODF in Office 2007 SP2,
Please let us know when they've managed to get it working.As Rob Weir (among others) has noted:
"If we note the arguments used by Microsoft in the recent past, they have argued that OOXML must be exactly what it is -- flaws and all -- in order to be compatible with legacy binary Office documents. Then they argued that OOXML can not be changed in ISO, because that would create incompatibility with the "new legacy" documents in Office 2007 XML format. But when it comes to ODF, they have disregarded all legacy ODF documents created by all other ODF vendors and take an aloof stance that looks with disdain on interoperability with other vendor's documents, or even documents produced by their own ODF Add-in. The sacrosanctness of legacy compatibility appears to be reserved, for strategic reasons, for some formats but not others. We'll redefine the Gregorian calender in ISO to be interoperable with one format if we need to, but we won't deign, won't stoop, won't dirty ourselves to use the code we already have from the ODF Add-in for Microsoft Office, to make SP2 formulas interoperable with the other vendors' products, to benefit our own users who are asking for ODF support in Office. As I said before, this ain't right."
however it was the ODF guys who weren't even able to spec out something basic as formulas in a spreadsheet specification.
It's not that "the ODF guys" (OASIS TC) "weren't able to", rather they decided it was better to take sufficient time to create a quality OpenFormula language (due in ODF 1.2) rather than do a rush-job on it. In the meantime, pretty much everyone (except MSFT) uses OO.org's formula language.
Since ISO rules (AFAIK) forbid having multiple standards that do the same thing, during the OOXML ISO battle, OOXML was positioned as merely an archival format for the existing corpus of MS Office documents. Now it's been ISO-approved it's increasingly being positioned as a direct competitor to ODF. Think Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD. This war will end the same way eventually with ODF winning and Microsoft on the losing side which it already knows.

Perhaps we could donate our out-dated CCTV cameras to Africa to remotely monitor them all and make sure they're not scrounging so that food aid only ends up with the really starving ones who've had to sell their Nikes?

This would be a great way finally to enjoy a good walk and maybe even get a hole in one.
Wrong, there's plenty of evidence of vital pidgeon (and other animal) involvement in WWII, lest we forget.
