But HTML ensures that others with proportional fonts can still view the data

The article claims a few other companies have already gone to W2DC and have
good success... did you read the article?

Not really.

W2DC boxes are far less expensive that UNIX counterparts.  And one W2DC box
is certainly less expensive than 50 NT machines.

W2DC is not much more than W2KAS with *only* certified drivers and a few
additional (albeit very nice) features for data center usage.

Then you are paying a lot more than you need to... UNIX is still far too
expensive because of the dedicated software + the hardware.

They weren't making any claims as to what was superior.  They simply stated
that they were testing for 18 months and came to the conclusion that W2DC
was easier to manage - and that would bring costs down - not the actual
savings on software.

MS does cut a lot of deals when it benefits them- but then so does every
*good* sales staff from any large company.

Clinton committed treason on such a massive level that he has
NOT ONLY all of the inhabitants of North America for the next
several decades, but many many other nations as well.

China has a LONG history of selling advanced weaponry to
terrorist nations like Libya, Syria, Iraq and Iran

Hope that helps.


The pain he would experience by hanging him by fishing line
strung through his testicles isn't anywhere close to the
amount of pain which could result from his foolish acts of
handing over advanced ICBM ***AND**** Nuclear warhead
technology to China.

Even a small, low-yield fission weapon in an ICBM built on
"care-of-your-fellow-Communist,-Bill-Clinton" technology
would result in millions of dead women and children.
[The first city they would hit is Los Angeles]

Fuck that.  

I'm in the US Army, and even *I* noted that many of hte military
strikes he ordered qualify him as a war criminal.

1) the cruise missile strike on the analgesic (aspirin) factory.

2) the bombing campaign in Kosovo.

Both of these were killing innocent people so that his personal
sex crimes would be pushed off the front page by blood-and-gore
photos of the target sites.

K: Truth in advertising:
        Left Wing Extremists Charles Schumer and Donna Shalala,
        Black Seperatist Anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan,
        Special Interest Sierra Club,
        Anarchist Members of the ACLU
        Left Wing Corporate Extremist Ted Turner
        The Drunken Woman Killer Ted Kennedy
        Grass Roots Pro-Gun movement,


J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
   The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
   also known as old hags who've hit the wall....

I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
   challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
   between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
   Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole

H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
    premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
    you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
    you are lazy, stupid people"

G:  Knackos...you're a retard.


F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
   adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.

E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
   her behavior improves.

D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
   ...despite (C) above.
 
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.

B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
   method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
   direction that she doesn't like.

A:  The wise man is mocked by fools.
