The problem I have with any of the collaborative methods is that at my level, the people I'm wanting to collaborate with: 1. Don't have any interest in doing anything other then editing on their own and then someone laboriously putting everything together, and 2. Aren't in any situation where we'd be able to use any of these online methods anyway.
The problem with PDFs, and the reason for wanting other formats, is probably the fixed nature of them. Most people don't have PDF editors. If someone wants, say, to copy/paste your contact details out of your job application, it's a little difficult.
It is also the entirely obvious answer, as demonstrated by the huge number of mobile phone cases available for the past umpteen years. Nor is it the first leather case for an MP3 player, nor even the first made by the maker of the player. (See the iRiver H3x0 series players..)
Nevertheless, it's still a product that is worth them selling.
Regardless of the legality of it, if you're going to buy music from allofmp3, you may as well pirate it for free, since the artist still gets nothing EITHER way.
"It's not like they're PREVENTING you from installing another software to replace it."
Except that it is EXACTLY like that for OEMs. PC manufacturers are often forbidden by M$ from bundling alternative products, and nobody is capable of removing the M$ versions.
This machine has a total of around 200GB across two drives. That's around 80-90% used. Amongst other things, that's 30GB of CD images (so I can leave the originals at home), at least 20-25GB of music (mostly ripped and (legal, with-permission, for-the-band's-benefit) live recordings of various gigs), several gigs of photos and videos, twenty or thirty gigs of films (many ripped from DVDs owned by family members), and so on.
It's easy to fill up space if you have it, without doing anything that people generally would consider wrong.
They pointed out a number of things we did in IE7 that they thought would be great to have in Firefox in the future. We think competition is good and it makes us feel good that they're watching what we're doing and offering some positive comments. (Emphasis mine)
It is however very safe to say that in the last hundred and sixtyish years, global mean temperatures have been rising at an ever-increasing rate, matching very closely the changes in the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere.
It's a reasonable body of proof for what IS happening, and I've not heard of anything at all against this with a similar amount of "proof" behind it. (I'm willing to be proved wrong, of course...) There are also clear, logical theories as to how this could happen.
It's not particularly unreasonable to say that increasing CO2 emissions are increasing global temperatures, and it's not unreasonable to say that they will keep doing so.
(Hmmm, seems I even have the work I did on this a year and a bit ago. Relatively basic stuff, but if anyone wants it as an example, contact me.)

Latex-type things don't so easily do the web-based presentation the GP was discussing, however.
Or do they?

Small to mid sized companies also lose a lot of money in software licensing fees, remember.
At least here (UK), all mobile numbers are 11 digits long, as are the majority of landline numbers. Some landlines are only ten digits.
Is it just me, or does attacking the GUI developers seem like it'd have the OPPOSITE effect to the one we want?
Most people do not have Acrobat, or any other PDF editor, installed. Most people DO have MS Office.
If presentation isn't as important, RTF might be the way to go.
Exactly my point.
.rtf might be appropriate.
If presentation is less important than content, a more universal format such as

..unless, of course, you get music from sources that dislike low-quality incomplete files.
I did specify "regardless of the legality of it".
It doesn't matter here whether it's legal in your place of residence; it does NOT change the fact that the artist gets no reward.

"a useful trick to know what pages are visiting the 90% of the world population"
Clearly, in the world of big monopolies, pages visit you!
Can you explain your reasoning behind saying linux support would cost more?
Google had no way to know whether the images they were indexing were legal or not - and, frankly, I don't see how it's their responsibility to do so.
"...and I haven't figured out why the Government isn't getting on Intel's case."
That one's pretty simple... it's the the government's best (financial) interests not to, most likely.

It might make things clearer to you if I point out that I am a student living away from home during termtime.

My dad's girlfriend loves Python. How does that phrase apply here?

Need I say more?
BSD distros use a LOT of GNU utilities and programs.
Technically, any ISP works because of content provided by others at no cost to the ISP, whether that content is paid or otherwise.
It's easy to pronounce.
