Like the Bush AWOL story and the weapons cache canard that CBS and the NY Times have floated to hurt Bush?
Get a grip, tool. The media isn't 'right wing', despite what you say. Go back to your Chomsky and pseudo-intellectual mental masturbation.
If you want the truth, look at Kerry's words and his record. The guy is a blatant political opportunist of the worst sort. His 'nuance' is little more than changing with the polls, which is why the Founding Fathers didn't found a democracy, but a Republic -- people are idiots.
Actually, the GOP issues with the healthcare task force centered around public policy being determined by an unelected official, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Besides, once the document was released, it was realized how rabidly Socialist it was.
Cheney, on the other hand, was actually elected. His full report and recommendations have been released and nobody seems to bother reading them, instead focusing on who was met and what recommendations they put forth.
Also, the problem with the tech transfer to China wasn't around nuke technology, but around missile, satellite and laser technology. The Cox Report detailed clinton's handing over of sensitive information at the behest of Hughes and Loral despite the objections of his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher. (You don't expect that twit William Cohen would've uttered a peep, do you?)
Erm, those are the records that he's released, not his full military file, like Bush released for his service because the press was SCREAMING for them. Big difference. See what I mean? Relevant quote:
"Although Kerry campaign officials insist they have published Kerry's full military records on their Web site (with the exception of medical records shown briefly to reporters earlier this year), they have not permitted independent access to his original Navy records."
So, while you take Kerry at his word, I'm a little more skeptical of the man who said that my father and every other general officer in Vietnam committed war crimes. I think he just might lie about military activities to score political points. But hey, believe whoever you want there, big guy.
Interestingly enough, George W. Bush currently has the most liberal ownership.
Gee, he increase spending on educatino and put forth the largest entitlement expansion since LBJ and enters into wars of liberation...news flash: BUSH IS A LIBERAL (despite what Hillary and Kerry might say.)
The Greek root of 'technician', i.e. 'techne', means 'applied art'. Look at this definition for technology. Guess the Greeks figured this out a while ago, eh?
Seriously. There are 3 things people are going to want to know:
Methodology
Process
Technology If you can answer those 3 things in detail, you've got your documentation started. Make it look however you want to look. Summaries are nice. TOC are really handy. Add images only if a picture will save you 1000 words. Don't BS or say what you think they want to hear. Just start writing. And then get a technical and a grammar review. I would recommend trying to keep it simple.
Putting together your own cygwin or mingw toolchain (not that that's a bad idea in general) already is a severe pain in the ass. It can be real black magic to figure out what people last did to get primarily-used-on-UNIX-software building.
Black Magic is putting it mildly. You could build a Gentoo system for how long it takes to cygwin configured just so.
And that's not a knock on Cygwin's fine efforts, it's just the matter of fact. You're trying to dupe an OS's behavior on another OS.
I started trying to do this very thing and realized what a colossal waste of time it was going to be.
A good way to see if you have things working would be to try and build freeciv. That'll keep him busy.;-)
Yeah, crystal is for simple stuff. Not what you were trying to do. For simple queries, I always thought it had a rather intuitive interface. In fact, I'm looking at setting up a web offering with their tool so users can go in and build quick and dirty reports. Heavy lifting will have to come inside, though.;-)
(I know I'm gonna regret this...) You know, it's not like the Soviet Union, with whom the treaty was signed, ever adhered to the ABM. Where, exactly, do you think all of these rogue weapons have come from? Also, there's an argument to be made for a treaty that was signed being so long ago, never enforced and agreed to with a state that no longer exists being null and void. But like, no, there is no treaty against that. And you're right, Bush would probably break one if it was there because he's mean and evil and he breaks little kids candy bars.
Slashdot Mirror
Our CIO has sold SharePoint Portal as 'proven technology' to the board.
I'm about ready to start a pool.
Mods, we need bonus points for the Blackadder reference.
+1 Embiggens, preferably...

You have just proven this nicely.
Don't forget Kerry owns a million dollars worth of Wal-Mart stock, hardly the position of an anti-outsourcing candidate.
If the Parent thinks Kerry is anti-outsourcing, he probably think Bush went AWOL and let the terrorists, I mean, insurgents, steal that weapons cache.
They're cousins. They went to the same school and belonged to the same Fraternity.
Oh, and Kerry is worth more...
Or are they just trying to look slick?
No, I'm really not interested in a flamewar, however, this would presuppose the members of the board even knew there were Open Source alternatives.
They hold stock in MicroSoft. Possibly Apple. They aren't going to trust something they can't own a share of.
Stocks imply accountability.
Stupid, but true.

It's interesting that you're using DNC talking points, however.
Did someone post that last time, because you're karma is increasing by the minute?
Big difference.

No emotion and you can see the military records of both.
No, you can't.
You can see Bush's record, but Kerry still refuses to release his records.
Considering how many lies he's already been caught in, I can understand why.
Figures the AC is getting his insights from Pat Buchanan.
Methinks Pat Buchanan took a wrong turn somewhere...

And yes, I do have some Karma to burn I guess...
Have you ever noticed how it's come down to US and EU? Tee hee.
I can't believe I'm responding to an AC, however, no, I really haven't. Does the EU produce anything besides whine and cheese?
Perhaps we should hedge our bets and join the EU.
You understand what the 'E' in 'EU' stands for, don't you?
And Canada can't join as they're part of NAFTA.

Sometimes just working is better.
AFAIK, 'just working' is the goal.

Please explain how pocket, portable computing would have been possible even ten years ago.
What about the Newton, circa 1993?
Is the battery at least covered under warranty?

Crystal has a HUGE HUGE IMMENSE VAST WAY-BIG Learning curve
Please tell me you're joking.

This has to be a troll, right? Right?
Crystal, while limited, is not the trickiest piece of reporting software.

Of course, it didn't have a hard drive either.
