Because there is no apparent reason to believe that MS is concerned
about quality, there is no apparent reason to believe that MS is
concerned about quality. Do you have some reason we should believe
this? Because MS wants to make money, maybe? But we'd have to assume
that they didn't have a monopoly, then, since you don't need quality to
make money when you are a monopoly.
Perhaps if your theory didn't require TWO baseless assumptions, there
might be more reason to discuss it.

MS will support USB 2 whenever the hell MS wants to, and this has little
relationship to when MS's customers want them to.

Assuming "libertarian" meaning "minimal enforcement to ensure everyone's
rights" or some such, I'd have to agree. But that's not lasseiz-faire,
as I understand it. (Then again, lasseiz-faire may require a minimal
level of enforcement as well, just to ensure no one gets swindled outright.
I'd have to dig deep to check this, though.)

Yes, that is correct, and we have proof. Certain cities in the
Eastern part of Europe are blackened by decades of pollution.
(I've not seen proof firsthand, but I have seen pictures.)
I did not bring up this scenario to exclude communism; as far as
I am concerned, sans regulation, both will end up at the same
(bad) end. (And I must ask the question: why the ruble? In a
pure communistic system, a monetary unit appears unnecessary.)
Ideally, we wouldn't have to worry about it. Of course, ideally,
we wouldn't have to worry about eating, drinking, defecating,
moving from point A to point B, the high cost of energy used during
flying [*], etc.

We ran a Novell server that sat on the floor under the desk with
the printer on it for 10 years. We finally retired it in 2000.
(Configuring Win3.1 clients to interface with both a Novell and
TCP/IP network interface was horrible, but we did it, because the
program we had would not work right on WinNT since it relied on
sanity checks in Novell to prevent multiple updates.) For the
last five years it ran while nobody working at the school knew
what the passwords were. Luckily, it never needed any
maintenance.
>Can you imagine an NT server running totally unattended for four
>years?
Ummm... No. The WinNT server that was purchased (in 1995) to
replace it, but never did completely, was replaced the year before
the Novell server was finally shut down. Sniff.

But, according to you totalitarian-collectivists, my tax money is used to
purchase "governance". Why should those who are most productive, and
not causing problems, pay more for government, most of which is for
the benefit of those who are lazy, unproductive, and troublemakers.

Yes, he should have just found Microsoft's counsel guilty of contempt

> > My actual requirements are:
> >
> > Must haves:
> > 1. Syntax highlighting (with color and or font) for HTML and Java
>
> EditPlus supports syntax highlighting for a plethora of file types. If
> Editplus doesn't come with the syntax highlighting for a particular file
> type, you can download it seperately from their website (www.editplus.com)
> or write your own syntax file. You can even choose the colors you want
> for it.
>
> > 2. Robust cut and paste including row, AND column AND block
> > capabilities
>
> EditPlus supports row select and column select. you can undo your edits
> as much as you have modified.
>
> > 3. Split and join functions based on margin or specified column
>
> Split and join functions are available. splits according to what word
> wrap settings you have enabled. You can have the word wrap method set to
> wrap after a certain format column number you choose, or have it wrap
> around at the edge of the window.
>
> > 4. Ability to intelligently remove prefix characters (i.e. ">") and
> > re-format text to new margins keeping paragraphs intact (i.e. fixing
> > forwarded email text)
>
> You can use search and replace or column select and delete.
>
> > 5. Ability to edit multiple files side-by-side
>
> Yes.
>
> > 6. Ability to compare files and synchronize multiple similar files
> > flagging differences
>
> No, I think either ultraedit or editpad can do this.
>
> > 7. Robust search and replace capabilities (ideally supporting
> > regular expressions)
>
> Yes, EditPlus has regexp.
>
> > 8. Line numbering
> yes
> > 9. Column numbering
> yes
> > 10. Auto-completion (based on customizable template)of common
> > programming statements
> yes
> > 11. Ability to preview HTML pages (including Java applets) easily
>
> EditPlus does this very well!
> HTMl files can be previewed just like IE would display it, which means
> applets would be shown.
>
> > 12. HTML toolbar (I know I should know all the tags but I just cannot
> > remember them all)
> yes.
> > 13. Can be used as a replacement for Notepad (so it must be
> > relatively quick and have a small footprint)
> yes, it replaced mine.
> > 14. Highlights URL and e-mail addresses and launches browser or email
> > client in a separate window when clicked
> yes
> > 15. Ability to change case for entire selected text
> yes. editplus can either change selected text to all upper, all lower, or
> capitalized (i.e. first letter in each word is upper case)
> > 16. Auto indent based on user-defined templates for each programming
> > language
> yes, editplus does this.
> > 17. Auto alignment (I.e. if I want a set of lines with the "=" sign
> > or decimal point or comma aligned on multiple rows)
>
> AFAIK, no, you'll have to manually do that with editplus.
>
> > 18. Undo capability
>
> as I said before, you can unndo as much as you've modified.
>
> >
> > Nice to haves:
>
> > 1. Syntax highlighting for Perl, C/C++, and SQL. Also, extensibility
> > for other programming languages based on easily customized syntax
> > files.
>
> yup.
>
> > 2. Ability to use FTP
>
> fully integrated ftp support :)
>
> > 3. Spell checker
>
> yup.
>
> > 4. Ability to compile from within the editor
>
> yup. You'll need to configure a user tools to tell the editor where the
> compiler is located. once you do that, it's just a keyboard shortcut or a
> menu item away.
>
> > 5. Keystroke save/execute (i.e. macro capability)
>
> editplus precisely can do this.
