You will be happy to hear our "javaxman 2.0" project is proceeding well. Please see attached post on Slashdot by the story-telling android unit, referring to his client-child as its own -- you can't imagine how long it took our AI team to get the emotional algorhythms just right without resulting in murderous rampages every fortnight for no discernable reason! A lot of good scientists lost their lives in pursuit of this project. And yet, considering how much money such a product will bring our company, what are a few PhDs, eh?
Once again, on that other matter of concern, we have every confidence that the FBI will be able to track down the "javaxman 1.0" unit that disappeared last month. And I *do* think all the dead farm animals in Saskatchawan are a coincidence.

Hmm, must be that it's really late, but I could have sworn the title was "Romulan Team Entering X-Prize competition" when I first looked at it. I was imagining some Trekkies in Romulan costumes milling around the SpaceShipOne compound.:)
On behalf of Daeleys everywhere, I would like to say first that I'm sorry and second, please note that the extra 'e' in my version of the name means 'not prone to evil shenanigans' in the ancient Irish.;D
That's all right. I am still convinced I saw a scene in which Luke shows up in a bar in Anchorhead and talks to Biggs. A scene in the novelization, interestingly, but vehemently denied to have been able to happen.;)
A Chinese research institution demonstrated the safety of their test reactor against meltdown by shutting off the coolant....thus creating in an explosive instant the second thing in China you can see from space.;)
I think nixing any given word processor because of poor Word.doc compatibility would be a mistake, as long as we're talking about free software. As long as you have some other program available that does it well enough (e.g. OO.o), then your "primary" word processor does not need to have it, especially if it is otherwise stellar.
When will Open Source advocates realize that it's just this sort of behind-the-times technological gaffe that will keep Linux in single-digit marketshare forever?;)

And when she got home, there was a hook with the IRS seal on it dangling from her driver side mirror!!! ;)
...or were the chimps designed by UNIX, and the computer gods use one species for one task?

You are right, I should have been more specific.
Might be better to port Windows users to Linux :-)
;)
Nah, too unstable.
Yes, we can.
On a related note, Mac OS X users can obtain Evolution via Fink and run it in X11.
In Firefox on Mac OS X, Ctrl-Tab goes one way, and Ctrl-Shift-Tab goes the other.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

One wonders how you'd go about indexing every life form...
Two-by-two, of course!
1. the spelling and grammar is correct.

The spelling and grammar are correct. Mostly. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Same thing accomplished if you unplug the Ethernet or, in the case of wireless, put on your tinfoil hat. ;)

Narrator: "The Screaming Skull" is a motion picture that reaches its climax in shocking horror.
...But we cut that.
Mike Nelson:
Narrator: This climax is so terrifying that it may have an unforeseen effect. It may kill you.
Tom Servo: If you watch it in front of a moving bus.
Hey, don't be dissing Chim Chim! He was probably the most level-headed of that whole crew! ;)

MS Word compatibility != good word processing
Sadly, Firefox isn't affected.
