Although, it still amazes me the amount of people who still install 'freeware' utilities to take screengrabs of dialogs, when Windows has had that functionality built in for many versions...
It's not an intuitive UI. It doesn't surprise me at all.
It is not about the performance of the product, it's about performance-per-dollar.
The businesses are looking at performance-per-dollar of an employee equipped with Open Office versus performance-per-dollar of an employee equipped with MS Office. A typical business is going to find many more people who already know MS products and receive many more files generated by MS products. It doesn't take much horsing around with software inconsistencies to eliminate the savings from the license.
I recommend OO to home users all the time, but if I business where I paid professionals to use an office suite, I would probably spring for the MS products.
The countries that are kicking our asses in science education don't have "less Federal inerfernce" they have more.
Do the countries that are kicking our asses have federal systems at all? Are there not successful education systems organized by political entities the size of our states?
It seems to me that the the distinction between the microprocessor and the ALU is arbitrary. How is this different than a CPU that comprises address load hardware and ALUs?
Jehovah's Witnesses (wikipedia) Doctrinal criticisms The Watch Tower Society has made various predictions about the coming of Armageddon and Christ's millennial reign, raising expectations of their imminence in the years leading up to 1914, 1925, and 1975.
These people have served their sentences. They have been punished according to the law of their land, and then released. In this country, a person's criminal record haunts them for life -- denying them jobs, restricting their freedoms, and in some cases leading to a greatly diminished quality of life such that they are forced into criminal enterprise in order to meet basic needs. But in Germany, these laws are crafted so that people can have a chance at a normal life again--A chance at redemption. It is recognized that people make mistakes, but these mistakes shouldn't haunt them for the rest of their lives. The government has stepped in to ensure that any adult citizen that has their freedom also has the same chances as the next.
oul It strikes me as very authoritarian for the state to make this judgment for other people. Do you really think it's appropriate to block an employer or a potential spouse from getting this information?
If you love your dog or cat, keep it on a leash outdoors. Being able to track it down when it's road kill, or frozen to death and chewed up by a snowblower, isn't being a good owner.
Animals get loose. Things happen. I wouldn't tell someone "Don't get in a wreck!" when he considered buying a seat belt.
There's nothing inherently wrong with your request. It's just that it's not going to happen.
I'm not suggesting that the mythical English police should abolish the phrase by decree. I'm just not going to use it, and other people can do the same if they agree.
Once the machine has pegged you at the lower half, say, there is no way for you to break out of that, because it's never going to give you those harder questions.
Maybe they could, you know, program it not to do it that way.
In the same way (i.e., not really) that Communism would be to collect kidneys from nearly everyone to make an equitable distrution according to the state's interests
I have worked on a farm. Some years we grew some white corn for chips. Some years we grew ordinary field yellow field corn for the commodity market. On the same acres of land. I mean, you *can* make cornmeal out of ordinary corn, but it's irrelevant since the same land can be devoted to either crop and thus plays in the same market. A consumer who eats chips consumes less corn per calorie than a consumer who eats beef.
Farmers who produce grain would prefer that you buy meat. You're consuming more corn by eating a pig than by eating the corn yourself, since the conversion of grain energy to meat energy is significantly inefficient.
Clearly, there's some grain-fed livestock but that last marginal consumption is grain-fed.
You mean completely useless and pointless things around the content like favorite & history menus and tabs too, right?
I personally think a UI for these things in any way different than a web page of links is silly. If we can come up with a better way of navigating links to web pages, then the rest of the web should work that way, too.
Someone who saw it, a large black "flying wing" (I think it's called a delta wing?)
IANAAE, but those are different concepts.
A delta wing is a kind of wing: one that is shaped like the letter delta (a triangle). A flying wing is a king of aircraft that essentially lacks a fuselage. It's an aircraft that is all wing.
Relatively airplaney-looking things (e.g., a A-4 Skyhawk) have delta wings.
If a pilot be required to be communicating on a radio while they land and take off - in a fast moving vehicle that falls out of the sky if not kept within parameters, at the edge of those parameters - I think drivers can be taught to drive safely on a cell phone.
I think a key difference here is that the people on the radio are communicating with the pilot about flying the plane, not, say, where to eat or how to fix the toilet.
America has a hard time being at peace in the present world because, as the top dog and de facto world policeman, we inevitably get drawn into everyone's little spats.
I don't think it's inevitable. The US is making its own choices, not the just following its destiny.
It's not like any of the physical artifacts in the box have any value. If they want to compete against other people selling in the cheap game market, they can lower their prices on older games.

An Aussie first flew across Pacific; I'd think that should be sufficient for bragging rights.
I think the question is, how intelligent do the elephants expect these guys to be?

If I look outside my window and observe reality in its full high-definion glory, am I consuming data?
If not, what if I set up a camera outside my home and watch the video feed on my televion?
Well, "central" is relative to an chosen area. The EU's education system isn't centrally organized and administered.

How about if we just say it's, "difficult to learn". The phrase is more clear, less pretentious, and less cliché.
