[release]"Last week several defendants including one high-profile TV presenter were sentenced in Portugal in what has been known as [url=http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100903/wl_afp/portugalchildabusetrial]the Casa Pia scandal[/url]. The judges delivered on September 3 a summary of the 2000-page verdict, which would be disclosed in full only three days later. The disclosure of the full verdict has been postponed from September 8 to a yet-to-be-announced date, allegedly because the full document was written in several MS Word files which, when merged together, retained '[url=http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=pt&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.publico.pt%2FSociedade%2Fespecialistas-da-microsoft-ajudam-juiza-a-formatar-acordao-da-casa-pia_1455283]computer related annotations which should not be present in any legal document.[/url]' (Google translated article.) Microsoft specialists were called in to help the judges sort out the 'text formatting glitch,' while the defendants and their lawyers eagerly wait to access the full text of the verdict."[/release]

"your sentance will be listening to the verdict"
2,000 pages?

2000 pages verdict?
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is way shorter. Seriously, what the fuck
[editline]lol dicks[/editline]
Checked again. LotR is about 1200 pages. It's a big ass fucking book, and this thing has twice the pages. I'm confused.
You can give a verdict in two words, what the fuck?
[editline]06:53PM[/editline]
"Not guilty" or "fuckin guilty" in case anyone was wondering which two words.

Plus an actual punishment. Like "30 years of jail" or "lethal injection" or "bludgeoned with large dead fish until dead". No need to describe the whole fucking field trip to Cthulhu's forgotten lands.

you do realize that the entire system of justice is built around people not wanting to go to prison
Lengthy verdicts are standard procedure for significant cases in the legal world. Granted, this is pretty damn long, but it's not without precedent...
how is this microsofts fault
it's the merger of the file's fault
I've been through the Slashdot comments, and some people wonder why don't they use something like [url=http://www.latex-project.org/]LaTeX[/url] («LaTeX» is pronounced «Lah-tech» or «Lay-tech»)...
I haven't used it myself, but for the looks of it, it sounds a LOT more reasonable IMO
Wow how ironic, good old clippy. :-)
