RE: The Official Funny Stuff Thread™
@Bulb said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
@boomzilla It's funny, but it's not particularly correct.
Mainly because universities have been the backbone for fundamental research since the beginning, and were initially granted more freedom than the rest of the society as most rulers did recognize value in having some smart people that were, in private, allowed to criticise them.
Teenager resorts aren't what they used to be!

Microsoft have also recently released / said they'll release the specs for all the binary MS Office file formats, so openoffice.org should support them properly soon enough.
Would that it went anywhere...
It sort of did. They even standardized the newer formats as ISO standards (while the Star/Open/LibreOffice ones are only ECMA standards)
LibreOffice's OpenDocuement is ISO standardized, too. ISO/IEC IS 26300.
… in a typical Microsoft way with slight differences from what Microsoft Office actually implements.
600 pages of standard.
Nah, just kidding, it's over 7100 pages, 600+ pages are just the backwards compatibility cruft including shit like "do the line wrapping just like Word 6 did" ( yes, the one from 1993).

@boomzilla That's merely a little mix-up of Big Endian and Little Endian.
It's just the latest standard™. After slot, tri-point, Philips, Pentalobe, Allen, double-square and 12-point, behold: the InfiLobe!

Yes, but will manglement be willing to pay actual programmers when code monkeys ((quasi-)human or AI) are much cheaper?
I continue to wonder how much of management is going to end up being replaced by AI.

@PleegWat said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
Quite. In any sane language line 1 would be a syntax error.
It is in PHP for example. PHP also supports 0o17 syntax (similar to 0x17 for hex)
It's a necessary criterion, not a sufficient one.
