Why speculate? The blog post mentions that this plugin converts from OpenXML to ODF. And that OpenXML will be backported and thus ODF will be able to be backported as well.
Rampant speculation is nothing compared to some reading comprehension...
Another cool piece of this is that it will also work in older versions of Office. This is because the tools leverage the Open XML support, and we're providing free updates to previous versions of Office that allow them to read and write Open XML. It's another great benefit of leveraging the Open XML formats for the tool.
NG IS supported in MSIE 6.0 fully, including alpha channel, but the implementation is so much pain in the neck for developers to implement in webpages, that they simply don't bother.
That's a workaround for the fact that IE does *not* fully support PNG. Not to be confused with fully supporting PNG...
I don't think it's legal at all. I once had a Best Buy PFY tell me as I was leaving their store (without purchasing anything) that he had to search the bag I had brought in with me! It was my laptop bag which I didn't want to leave in the car. I flat out refused and walked out. They were quite stunned over this and followed me a little ways into the parking lot, but then decided (likely) that it wasn't worth their trouble.
The gall! To demand to search my personal property like that!
They probably won't care? They're just letting people know that it can be insecure because most people aren't aware of it. It's like letting people know their front door is open. If you did it on purpose, that's okay. But if not then you may want to be told.
The parents that don't want their kids exposed to nudity have every reason to be upset.
You're absolutely correct. They can get *upset*. The problem is that they also get *litigious*. What happened to good old fashioned "getting mad and dealing with it?" Why must other people suffer everytime some idiot gets upset these days? There is no constitutional guarantee that nothing will offend or upset you!
the sun, which has been around for billions of years, has suddenly gotten out of whack
You rather strongly suggest that the Sun has been "stable for billions of years" and that the idea of it recently going "out of whack" is preposperous.
This place is becoming a big "7 degrees from evil" game against Google lately... Google made a web-site, which became popular, on which they sold ads, which make them money, money can buy guns, guns kill people, killing is evil!
I disagree completely. If every time I stabbed myself in the leg with a knife you had to pay for my medical bills, how many stabs would it take before you simply took my knife away rather than pay for my bills?
how millions Africans died needlseely of AIDS because people tried to forbid them from making generics by suing in the world court.
Tell them I've found a cure - stop having sex with people who have AIDS. Their biggest problem is not access to medication, it's that they belive AIDS is a lie by the "white man" to keep them down or other general ignorances/stupidity.
I remember getting the Voodoo rush rather than a Voodoo. It was slower, sure - but it could do acceleration in a *window* rather than needing to run full screen! *sniff*
It certainly is when your policy is to not even try to verify.
And how *could* they verify the age of a 12 year old in China, a 41 year old in India, a 16 year old in Texas, and a 53 year old in Australia? How could they even *try*?

My favorite part is Microsoft bitching about Apple's "vendor lock-in." How out of touch is MS marketing to not see the humor in that?
Since when did Massachusetts join the EU?

Chances are the senator would be more "experienced" too. :-)
Surely you're joking? Tell me which one *isn't* for sale. MA is just a few steps behind NJ on the corrupted politician scale...

At what point did you adopt the 'belief' that the Sun was stable?
Yeah, like the Sun has anything to do with heating the Earth...
Wow, how original...
Oh, okay. I recind my 'attitude' then. :-)

Google made money... Evil!
Google is expanding their business... Evil!
Google returned unfavorable search results for my name... Evil!
I don't think you really know what 'evil' and 'monopoly' mean. Near as I can tell you seem to think they both mean 'large coporation'...
These people need education, not treatments...
And just think of all the american indians crying! Won't somebody think of the american indians?!?!

Wait until it's duped...
I always prefer 'ctrl+l' in Firefox. I hate reaching for F* keys...
You missed a beautiful opportunity to not make a crappy BSoD joke...

I see a slashdot carpool in the future! :-)
