TeX produces adequately typeset output. Good for scientific papers and textbooks, but meh for everything else, besides AFAIK it can't use professional fonts, only the metafont family, which while ok, are mediocre at best when compared side-by-side to say a Garamond or a Futura.
"Most authors I suspect use Word or some other commercial word processor. This is what they send to their publisher- but I'm not sure that the publisher uses this Word document for all of their type-setting and commercial printing."
Of course not. The manuscript is either sent to a typographer or, more commonly, to a DTP monkey using InDesign or Quark Express.
Why does everything have to have a monument these days? And isn't a giant artificial rock formation the antithesis of what was there originally? This reminds me of the attitude of people who have their deceased pets stuffed, or those women walking around with fake babies.
The point of soy-based ink in printing is a simple one. It's less toxic. So you have less printers (the guys that run the presses) coming down with cancer, and little Hammy Hamster doesn't keel over anymore when you line his cage with old newspapers.
"So if you want 10 pounds in kilograms, what exactly is the trouble with actually writing those three (counting the space) additional characters?"
Pavlovian conditioning. Search engines have for the past decade consistently ignored grammar and thrown out those small additional words, often with a stern admonishment to the user that half their query is being ignored.
Since there is no facts,there is no need for security since it's very hard to cheat. Welcome to #historytest. QOTD: If you don't know it, PM Arne.

I've been using one of those for six months now, and I have mixed feelings about it. Battery life is great, no dongles sticking out and taking up ports is nice too and it works, but it's not a very responsive mouse and I don't really like the feel of the no button design (you have to push fairly hard to click, sometimes it registers a right click as a left click and the scroll ball gets erratic two weeks before the batteries run out)
It's ok for a laptop I guess, but far from ZOMG BEST MOUZ EVER! I would never use one on a desktop.
Don't be brainwashed by your capitalist pig-dog propaganda. In fact the rocket started its warp drive shortly after takeoff, converted those imperialist Greys to glorious socialism, and founded the Peoples Republic of Zeta Reticuli.

Don't be so negative. They're simply migrating the Vista experience to the Cloud.
I'm sorry, but if kids don't learn to do things that aren't fun they'll be in for a HUGE disappointment by the time they grow up.
-"Jeffreys, are those TPS reports ready yet?"
-"Sorry boss, I didn't feel like it, because it isn't fun."
Sometimes you just have to suck it up and do things that aren't fun. The sooner the little ADD riddled monster learns that, the better.
True that. Back in the '80s, that was average efficiency here in Europe.
Shhh. Don't spoil my fantasy.
is fabulous.
What do you mean? Windows is wide open.
Open to viruses, open to IE exploits, open to trojans...
You label your books? What are you? Some kind of librarian?
Deal with it.

Well to be fair, he did change from bowing to Big Oil to bowing to Big Media, as many expected him to do anyway.

You've obviously haven't heard about soy-sauce.

I hope that with your help it can afford a semicolon.
Never become a painter, or a plasterer, or any job that involves actual manual labor. Also, don't work out. God forbid you should get tired.
Can we use this E2E system in the B2B market to establish a P2P voting system?
Unless it's the Apple Developer Connection. Nothing will get you off their list. Ever.
VT52 all the way baby, no fancy flashing text for me.
Book renal services are supposed to be very hard on the kidneys.
