*SIGH* Word and Excel were NOT always the industry leaders (most
installations and feature rich). Just because they are today does not mean
they will be tomorrow.
Besides apart from compatibility reasons what percentage of MS users would
use the ADVANCED features of Office? I believe business would take advantage
of some of these components however the *AVERAGE* user, we are so fond of
talking about, would hardly use any of the advanced functionality of WORD,
EXCEL let alone MS Access, Powerpoint and Project Manager.
I have to laugh the new Office XP is going to allow users to write their own
custom XML routines for dynamic and context sensitive interaction with the
application. NOW all of a sudden all the Windows advocates have a love of
*scripting* XML. (which involves typing, an action similar to how CLI
works). This is going to be a big HIT with the *AVERAGE* user? I think
this is aimed at advanced users in the corporate market.
So *REALLY* Linux on the desktop for the home user still remains viable,
especially for home users that don't play many games. (Where MS and DirectX
have market dominance.)
Linux has less than 5% of the desktop market. Why are you Windows guys so
worried about Linux? Live and let live, use what works for you.

I thought it was obvious. You said:
"If radio waves were the same as light waves, how come we
can't see them?"
You apparently want to "see" light waves as being only visable light -
light visable to the unaided human eye. What about ultraviolet light?
If ultraviolet light waves are the same as light waves, how come we can't
see them? Then, of course there is the question of who is doing the
viewing. What if someone has a defect which prevents them from seeing
blue light? Is blue light suddenly something other than light? What
about a blind person? Does light stop being light if you shine it into a
blind person's eyes?

Yes you are.
Please tell us what procedures you used to "look up" my commendations
Accuracy counts, so be precise.

Subject: Re: Microsoft - WE DELETE YOU!
What piece of crap this Netscape 6 is.
Well, not as much as NS 4.7x because that
doesn't even work any more. I guess after
using it 12 times, it self-destructs.
(even worse! This crappy browser won't let
you cross post, so I'm having to do it manually)
I practically had to reinstall the OS to
get NS 6 working on here. There were like
50 patches just to get it working. It's
a Java-based app too! What a joke!
Anyhow, this should be sufficient. I don't
have time to get tin running as that'll
probably involve another 2 hours to get it
up and running. Plus, I've had my fill of
shitty newsreaders for today.
I just got NNTP access at work today and
hadn't copied my killfile from home yet.
I've made sure that you're back in it,
though.

Absolutely not.
Read the Posse Commitatus Act. It **CLEARLY** states that the Army can be used
to do law enforcement with the permission of the governor of the state(s) in
question. Remember all the times the Army was used in the 1950's and 60's.
The MARINES can be sent into any state WITHOUT the permission of the Governor.

See above.
Also, if the gun-phobes' wet-dream of CONFISCATION is to implemented,
how would it be done without entering citizens' homes?
