OpenOffice 2.4 does *NOT* have out-of-box support for Office 2007 documents. There's a separate utility called odf-converter - I know because I haven't been able to compile it under Arch:)
However, 3.0 is supposed to have it and rc3 is out.
Almost true. E# and F are what's called "enharmonic notes". In equal temperament (which is what the Western music has been using for the past few centuries), these two sound the same but their "function" is different. For example, in a C# chord the major third note would more properly be spelled as an E# rather than an F.

2 freight trains? You must have some really big mosquitoes where you live.
My point was to show that either the universe has always existed or something or someone came before that (and maybe before that, etc.). Eventually you get to something or someone that existed in infinity past / the "beginning".
Judging from the rest of your post, it seems that you're well aware that general relativity suggests that spacetime collapses prior to the Planck epoch, and that it makes no sense to talk about "before" in that context. So... I can't fix it for you, you'd need to do it yourself;)
Of course, when someone finally comes up with a TOE I'd might need to fix my post for myself...
As for his quest to find evidence of a UFO cover-up, Mr McKinnon has said that he found some circumstantial evidence online to back his claims, including what he said are photos with what he speculated were alien spacecraft airbrushed out of the picture. He said the photos in question were too large to download to his own computer.
So he somehow managed to SEE the photos (without any alien spacecraft on them, BTW), but wasn't able to download them? Am I the only one to whom this doesn't make sense?
NP completeness of Sudoku means that any instance of (for instance) the SAT problem can be converted to an instance of Sudoku (in polynomial time). Being able to convert Sudoku to SAT depends on SAT being NP-complete (provided that Sudoku is in NP).
Where exactly do you get your figures from? NASA would beg to differ
The year 2007 tied for second warmest in the period of instrumental data, behind the record warmth of 2005, in the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analysis. 2007 tied 1998, which had leapt a remarkable 0.2ÂC above the prior record with the help of the "El Niño of the century".
...Russians are resorting to cyber warfare now? I'm shocked. Maybe the should get some lessons from the US on how to stop the information flow.
I can't find any information on whether Georgian govermnent is using similar measures? Can anyone confirm if Russian web sites accessible from within Georgia? If not, does the goverment even view the percentage of people connected to the Internet in Georgia significant enough in forming public opinion at all? Seeing that the GDP per capita is around $4,700 and that the montly ADSL tariffs I can dig up on Google are around $50, I'm not sure.
Folks, it's war. People are suffering there. Russian Big Oil vs. American Big Oil (yay, this is bound to get me modded up on/.). Pipelines. World domination strategies. Whichever way it turns out, average Georgians and Ossetians are going to end up f**** over. My sympathy goes out to them. War should be outlawed.
I am not an ancient Greek philosopher (IANAAGP), but I believe he was refering to the Earth's shadow during a lunar eclipse. Incidentally, we have one coming up in a few days, you might be able to see it.
An interesting post.
Re: weeding out the crap. Yes there's too much stuff out there to do it yourself, but I'd really rather have people I know I share tastes with do it for me instead of some record company exec. I'm not a Myspace user. I've seen some great music there but using the damn thing simply takes too much time with all the social networking crap and its terrible interface, so I only listen to music there when it's linked to from other sites. But one site that really has helped me find great music on its own is last.fm. Have you tried it and what do you make of it?
Factorization is not known not to be NP-complete (though it's not very likely, since it lies in both co-NP and NP).
I don't see what P=NP has to do with symmetric encryption algorithms since all of those which I know rely on some form of S-boxes. Though how these are chosen is still a mystery to me:)
By the time you've finished the third chapter, you've built the foundation of a typical brochureware site, complete with a working search system
And a quote from the author's djangosnippets.org:
Why isn't there a search system?
Because no-one's yet written a good generic search system for Django. When somebody does, I'll look into adding it.
;)
Anyhow, I've been using Django for a bit less than an year now. It really is great, strips away lots of boilerplate code but at the same time is quite extensible for the most part. It can still give you headaches occassionally, but a lot of work has been done on decoupling the components and other enhancments. From what I understand, the new "newforms admin" which has just been merged into the trunk should go a long way to help with extending the back-end interface, though I haven't used it yet. Other things still leave something to be desired, e.g. the permission system is really basic etc.
All in all it's a super product, and the online documentation is one of the best I've ever seen. It's nice to see an addition to it in the form of this book, especially considering that the author is a real Django "insider" and knows what he's talking about

Someone mod him up. Modded you down in error, posting to retract it.
Could you give us some examples of what has IBM been lying about?
Damn. That looks awfully lot like the test you had to pass to play Larry.
Man, that was one great game. No wonder its creators were ahead of times in other aspects as well

as Betty Estrogen. Time for some inPrivateBrowsing I guess...
It says

So Ubuntu is not a system! And Serbian is not a language!
On topic, how is their ACID score coming along?
The other way around, dammit! :)

It's a competition where automated theorem provers for 1st order logic are given a subset of a problem library.
I don't think any of the provers are using genetic algorithms, since they're suited for optimization, not deduction.
That's sooo late 90's. Google is never going to index that! Man, their online visibility is going to be zip

Dude, this is Slashdot. Most of us have never heard of a labia before, let alone seen one. +1 informative definitely!
let's debunk the other myth while we're at it!
Apu, there are rumors that you are a Hindu. Is this true?
By the many arms of Vishnu, I swear it is a lie.

I offer this as a solution:

There. Fixed that for you.
