If it was like $ORK[-1], the supervisors would have people write down their passwords on a piece of paper that was (one hopes) locked in the supervisor's desk. It was stupid and unnecessary because everything was on Active Directory and so passwords could be easily reset if lost.
I suspect it's because it's ingrained that Windows must be shut down periodically for its own good, even though it's not really true any more. One of those cultural things that people do long after it stopped making sense to do so.
I haven't written cursive since probably age 12 and don't miss it a bit. I think its teaching should be abandoned and the classroom time used for more productive things; besides, print chars are more tolerant of poor penmanship since there's less tendency for characters to smear together.
The only thing I don't print is my signature, and that's because the never-sufficiently-damned government gets upset if I print that; indeed, they prefer an illiterate scrawl to printing for some reason, even though that's how I do the gorram thing.
I didn't get much out of filmstrips because most of them were/boring/, especially when the teacher didn't get done in one class period and we had to go through most of the thing again. Besides, a bunch of elementary-aged kids probably don't have the attention span to sit and look at a still picture, listen to cheesy music and someone speaking for a minute or two (DING!), then repeat the process.
The occasional filmstrip and VHS tape were engaging and informative; mostly the good ones were in science class, but many boring science ones as well.
Heh, Anjuta is definitely a Gnome app: doing apt-get install anjuta has 79 dependencies on my Ubuntu 6.06.1 box, plus the gcc stuff that was already installed.
Um? None of my CFLs flicker or make noise; the brightness is decent when cold and pretty good after they've warmed up. They were all installed two years ago and are the GE soft white type; I use both 60W and 100W (incandescent equivalent) models.
If you're going to do that, why not a series based on H. Beam Piper's Paratime stories? Not as much name recognition, but you also don't have a universe heavily encrusted with continuity needs and whiny fanboys.
Heh, Fox would pick it up and cancel it after ten episodes.
FWIW, I've had the most success with a 100x43 (800x600 @85 Hz framebuffer with Terminus font) terminal reading an HTML E-book with lynx. Very readable.

Quite right. Draw, blood-eagle, quarter, shoot, then really hurt. Most importantly, mandatory castration/spaying.
I'm trying to work out where you'd stick your tongue.
I still remember the "pong...pong" X2 handshaking tones.
Meh, my glorified state college used ArrowAsm for MS-DOS. The tentacles...
Master, teach me.
That's (almost) the combination an idiot would have on his luggage!

Mmmyeah, nothing like being eighteen and getting your ass groped by a woman in her mid-fifties.

Are you running FF with no extensions? If not, you can't be sure it's FF and not whatever poorly-coded extension you have.
See if your parents like Epiphany. It's the simplest decent Web browser I can think of; alas, there's no Win32 port, so they'd have to run Linux.
+1, Amusing.
Cue Congress opening hearings on silencing the leak instead of solving the problem...
The ones from the Ministry of Housinge? You must be a loony.

By that time he was probably famous enough that he could demand his works not be edited. Boy was he wrong.

Bah. It would be just as scary to have coordinated attacks on airport security checkin lines, and there's really no way to guard against it.
Fsck, I thought I'd never make a mpu post.

Have you moved out of your parents' basement?
