Comment Only 6 senses? What happened to the others? (Score 1) 290

We have the ability to sense large changes in ambient pressure, as well as relative temperature. We have a sense of balance (yes, that's a sense too). Ok, so maybe we can't determine the exact atmospheric pressure in the same way we can see tiny subtle changes in colour (ie, frequency of visible light), but all these are still senses.

The Ballot Resolution Meeting (BRM) will work on amendments to the Open XML standard (DIS 29500) as put forward by ECMA International. The meeting will be held behind closed doors and last 5 days. While Microsoft would get privileged access and voting rights other interested stakeholders for instance Portuguese SMEs and software develoeprs are excluded from participation and review. The head of the delegation will exercise all voting rights for the nation, here Portugal. All national ISO members need to submit their list of delegates to ISO until Dec 11."

Submission + - Microsoft loses EU appeal

rcasha2 writes: Microsoft has lost its appeal against the EU fine of almost 500m / $700m. Microsoft could still appeal again at the European Court of Justice. More important than the fine, however, is the confirmation of the ruling that Microsoft must share with competitors information needed for interoperability. This ruling could have an effect on such products as Samba, email clients etc.
