Social Conservatives are NOT the Republican Base. That ended awhile ago. Didn't you notice who's winning the nomination? Hint: he's no social conservative.
Most people who truly want to be left alone don't call themselves anything. I mean, get a clue.
Just check out 90% of the comments on political website forums.
Don't just take this guy's word for it. Go to some of the sites. Check out lucianne.com, freerepublic.com, dailykos.org and democraticunderground.com. Read the stuff the cranks on those sites are spewing out on the forums. The best thing that either campaign can do is provide nice secluded blogs to contain those nuts until after the election. Nutroots indeed.
I wouldn't say that LaTeX has a 'compiler metaphor.' I would say that it is essentially a compiler. Nothing metaphorical it. I and I also don't get why you're considering that aspect of it a problem. You speak of having tried LyX but say 'its a front end for LaTeX.' Why is that a problem? What are you getting at, really? You don't want to use LaTeX because it's LaTeX? You're not giving us much to work with here.
What he's doing is offering hype to convince the guillible that a new energy source will magically become exponentially cheaper. With there being no factual basis for that claim.
He is just plain wrong, and it's typical hype from Al Gore. There is no reason to suppose the prices will drop at 'the same rate' and saying so just promotes these kinds of side arguements.
People into politics will take sides and use the rhetoric to batt things around. But Gore's statement is wrong and contributes nothing but distortion to the issue.
I used to go to surplus stores a lot to get electronic parts and such. One store in particular had a lot of material from 'failed projects' at a big multinational. It wasn't hard to see in some instances why the project had failed. Things like big totes full of resistors individually packaced in anti-static bags were a sign of the kind of technical prowess of the management of the operation.
It yielded some nice "better-image-quality-than-original-photos" jpegs
Well, not really. But this probably isn't the place to start a digital/analog imaging flameware.
Simply put, you can't get a better image out of digitizing than you started out with. And silver-halide based photographic images have incredible high resolution.
Don't forget that one of the precepts of 'modern management' is that if a product lasts much longer than it's rated 'service life' it is a candidate for cost reduction. Said 'cost reduction' is guaranteed, if aggressively pursued, to result in the product failing much sooner. So, modern PC components, built by companies where the MBA-scum are in charge, are by design supposed to fail early.
I first started to use Linux seriously on a bunch of 386SX boxes. I believe they had 40 meg hard drives, but I could be wrong. It was a good way to learn networking. Back in the good old days when linux distros were essentially 'open' and you could hang a bunch of boxes together on a coax thin-net and learn how to make them work together.
It isn't really one-upmanship when one side just makes things up that aren't even part of reality. Now, if the response had mentioned core memory, or the IBM Stretch, it would have been interesting.
Just make sure if you're carrying that cell phone in the same pocket as your credit card that either the cell phone or the credit card is kept in a mu-metal container.
Back when I first went 'online' it was with an acoustic coupler attached to a decwriter. That means 300 baud and the terminal printed on paper. Then I got a CP/M machine and could log onto BBSes without using feet of paper at each logon 'welcome.' Missed the hardcopy backscroll, of course.
The first BBS that I sysoped was on an IBM-XT clone, and a 1200 baud modem. WWIV 3.21d.
Anyway, there are lots of dinks who think the Internet is where it all started. Sorry. Only university types and those Unix snobs were on the Internet back then. We had things like Fidonet. All the WWIVs were networked. The Citadels were networked, too, though they were full of the twitch types. You could get a Usenet feed through a lot of different means, of course.
I bought my first Linux distro in 1993. I admit that was late, because I wasn't a Unix type at the time. I had waited for the first 'Plug and Play' distro from Yggdrasil. First edition, Fall 1993.
Whatever. Who cares. UIDs didn't even appear on comments here until after the Bruce Perens masquerade 'crisis' when he whined about being the REAL Bruce Perens. (he has a very whiney voice type as you can hear on the 'Revolution OS' film.
The petrified statue is Mae Ling Mak. Only a newbie tool would associate anything at all with Natalie Portman.
True, but it's fun to troll the low-id folks. They seem to spider slashdot for opportunites to post about their low ID. At least, that seems to be the only time they post comments.
Believe it or not, there are people who don't consider it an important part of their discipline to know LaTeX. They might even delegate typsetting and publication to someone further down the chain.

America needs better public transit options and tighter knit communities, because a lot more of us...
You misspelled 'crowded highrise apartments on the light rail corridor.'
We need sensible planning for a future where
You misspelled 'central planning.'
Isn't there a Politbureau meeting you're supposed to be attending??

It's a LIVING document and needs to be reinterpreted by political appointees.
You clearly need to read some E. Burke. Get a clue, dood.

Paris Hilton's response video is a riot, and the people on some of the most conservative blogs are loving it.
Obama better be careful. He's really touchy about not being taken seriously. And his big honking ears, too.
Actually, he's relaxed and comfortable. Also a slick liar.
Obama sold his soul to the Chicago Political Machine decades ago. His Justice Department is going to be a hoot.

I had evidence, but then my hard drive was destroyed in a huge magnesium fire we had here.
You distilled out the one point Ballmer makes that matters, and just shuffled it into your parody without noticing.
'Developers' is really, really important. The lack of developers is what killed BeOS. It is one of the only things saving Linux...
Criticize Ballmer and Microsoft for many things. The 'Monkey Dance' was just a ludicrous delivery. The message was VERY valid.
and the Linux driver is now shipping alongside the Windows driver on their product CDs.
Whew! Bill Gates was worried about Linux because it's open source and generally fairly stable.
Thank goodness hardware vendors are distributing binary drivers for it now.

If you want serious amounts of gold scrap, you need a heap of Pentium Pro processors. Intel was just throwing gold around back in those days.

Yes. I know this is mostly a dork fest.

except you're just making stuff up. I was relating the real past.

Mae Ling Mak, naked and petrified, btw.
'Good song' being defined, it seems, as: 'able to catch the attention of the shortest attention span twitchboys.'
Unfortunately for the attention-deficit-crippled, the world of sound isn't entirely composed of short shiney-thing jingles.
Indeed. But this doesn't necessarily mean that paper journals are the long-term answer.
Actually, they have been. For, uh, a long time.
