Well that's unfortunate. Perhaps there will always be some who will be
left behind. You could always develop your own if you so desire.

Your argument is of course completely dumb - such a scenario does not
exist. It's hard to take seriously someone who would use such a
comparison. Esp', in your case - you cannot empirically say for sure
that JPEG2000 is supported by your platform, unless that platform is
unique to you and if it is then more fool you.
Looks like you drew the short straw when they were handing out OSs
then.

Good point, I should learn to stop resorting to such behavior and keep
my posts on-topic and polite, like you do.

Re-read the entire thread again - I think you will find I was quite up
on addressing the comments. Next time - get the facts in first.

Splitting hairs to that degree is making you look pointless. Come on,
better reasoning and arguments next time please.

Is reading for comprehension a problem for you? Your continued use of
profanity in this thread IS unnaceptable and may be a sure way to get
yourself banned from this news server.
Trying toning it down a bit, please.

I think that's exactly as much of a problem as you think my choice of
