So, how do you manage to make charts without the chart wizard? The chart wizard was (and is) the most appealing thing in Excel for me, and consequently its removal was the most frustrating thing that I experienced in the short time I used Office 2007. In the 97-2003 days I could make a chart in about 2 minutes or less thanks to the wizard and some minor post-processing. In 2007 it took me at least 15-20, assuming I didn't just give up and try on another office suite.
A valid counter-response: WildTanget used to come preinstalled on a lot of PCs as well. Is that also good enough to "[not] want to go messing with it"?
Du'h, the phrase "Man gets AIDS 10 years later" means he got AIDS after 10 years of not having AIDS, not that he got AIDS and 10 years later he was looking for treatment. Which was exactly what I was trying to convey in my rebuttal to Example 2a. I haven't looked into it, but I'm pretty sure that AIDS patients don't last for 10 years after diagnosis, which the poster is implying the insurance company believes when the man gets denied insurance because of a "pre-existing condition" (him buying the book 10 years ago). It is obvious, given the context, that the man did not have AIDS when he bought the book, but the poster is trying to suggest that the insurance company thought he did. My rebuttal implies that the insurance companies should know full well about the longevity of AIDS patients, and should therefore discard the book as evidence of a "pre-existing condition" because it was clearly purchased so long ago that, had the man really had AIDS at the time, he would most likely be dead by now.
Even if I am wrong, and it is possible to live 10 years with AIDS, the insurance company should realize that there was no way that he could have afforded the medication to live that long on his own. AIDS medication is simply too expensive, and it would never have made sense for the man to pay for them out of his own pocket for 10 years and then suddenly ask for help from the insurance company.
There's also the problem of how your friends present themselves on Facebook, and how that can negatively reflect upon you as a person - even if your own profile is "clean." Policing their profiles would be unreasonable. Aside from being a complete invasion of your friends' right to make decisions (even stupid ones) for themselves, the sheer amount of people on the average Facebook user's friends list makes it impossible to actively make sure that your friends aren't making asses out of themselves. The "friend me or else" attitude these sits have created (Clicking "Confirm" usually means that - save for their annoying invites - you will never hear from that person again, while clicking "Ignore" is apparently the online equivalent of assaulting someone unprovoked) also causes in inflated friends list of people that you rarely socialize with or may not have even seen before in your life, giving the assumption that you actually have a relationship with these people.
But employers don't know this. Most, it seems, can't comprehend the differences in how online social networks are used in practice compared to traditional social networks, and that one's Facebook profile is not necessarily a true reflection of the person.
The overall message you are trying to convey is one that should be taken very seriously, but these two examples are pretty poor.
Example 1a: Buy the book with cash. Don't buy anything on credit/debit that you don't want traced back to you. Example 2a: Who as AIDS (not just HIV, full AIDS) for over 10 years? I was always under the assumption that AIDS victims didn't last longer than 5 years.
And what if one of your friends later interns at a company that you plan on working for? If the boss knows that your friend has Facebook access to you, he could demand that it be printed out and given to him. Given the choice between disloyalty and unemployment, I would say most would pick disloyalty, especially in our current economic situation.

Then they are hypocrites. I hate American Idol and its clones with a passion, and don't watch them as a consequence. If there really is "nothing else on," then they are waiting for the show to come to them. Inform these people that you shouldn't be watching something just because everyone else is.

I'm pretty sure the submitter wants his laptop back in addition to catching the perpetrator.
Glue your laptop to your desk. I won't guarantee that it will not get stolen, but it is a lot harder to steal an entire desk than a single laptop.
Companies that are out to screw people are by no means an American phenomenon. Plenty of non-American companies fit this profile as well.
Nope. No Flash on the strip. Both the strip on the main page and on the Strips page, along with all of the past strips, are ordinary GIFs.
Of course, it might just be on Windows. I'm accessing the site in Ubuntu.

I've heard about converting document formats to PDF, but how do you convert to a document format from PDF?

You think that's odd? I've seen ads for Microsoft products on Slashdot.
I just checked dillbert.com. There are only two flash images: Animation and the list of most popular comics.

Barnes and Noble, perhaps?

They can get away with that because Sirius is primarily funded by subscriptions, not advertising.
What do you think?
Yes.
1. There's two listings in the search results.
2. You don't know if there are any others who opted out of public search listings.

I myself am waiting for Google Hell.
I hear that Google Earth will be allowing users to control the spy satellites directly in version 4.4.
Imagine getting a live feed of when your boss leaves his house, and then tracking him all the way to work. I'll never be late again!
I believe you misunderstood. My "Darwin," the original poster meant "The Church of Darwin," or "CoD" as they are usually referred to.
