THANK YOU!
This annoys the shit out of me, too. Did somebody actually think the redundant activity of smashing everything would be fun?
Older version CAN also read documents created in newer versions. You just have to select the older version from the "Save As..." menu.
Who's the "you" here? The reader doesn't have the new version. He can sometimes ask for the creator to do a "save as", which he may or may not do. But if he gives up and just buys Word++, MS wins in that they didn't have to make the document structure backwards compatible and the reader paid them more money.
umm.. dude. I said any version of a word doc can be opened by any NEWER version of word.
True, but you said that in rebuttal to a more general statement -- that is, that the various versions are incompatible. It would be nice if an older version of Word could read a file written by a newer version of Word, insofar as it doesn't depend on new functionality.
Microsoft doesn't need to make an effort to break compatibility. All it takes is a lack of effort to constrain the data structures so that it works that way.
I remember when I was learning about cells and my father said to me, "When I learned about cells we knew of the cell wall and the nucleus. Look at what you have to know." Now students probably don't even have to know that - Google tells them everything they need to know.
I can't see how that's conceptually different from saying that books made knowing things obsolete.
How soon before bringing back dinosaurs from DNS for films is cheaper and more trilling for audiences than CGI?
Right, screw that server-side scripting to generate animated gifs of the dinosaurs. Programmers are expensive. Just put in a href="http://t-rex.dinosaurs.org" .
Good grief. I wasn't particularly insightful but -1 for this comment is absurd. If you liked Sin City moderators then please post why you thought it was good.
This is the guideline for negative scores:
Bad Comments are flamebait. Bad comments have nothing to do with the article they are attached to. They call someone names. They ridicule someone for having a different opinion without backing it up with anything more tangible than strong words. Bad comments are repeats of something said 15 times already making it quite apparent that the writer didn't read the previous comments. They use foul language. They are hard to read or just don't make any sense. They detract from the article they are attached to.
I will admit, there is an occasional breakout hit: The Matrix, Sin City were amazing,
I did not like Sin City at all. The violence was just troubling. The film invited me to enjoy the heros torturing the villains. I didn't. More Jessica Alba would've been good.
Spiderman was not as bad as it could have been.
I really liked the Spiderman movies.
But it hardly makes up for the disasters they wage in the process (Daredevil,
I slept through most of it, so it's not really fair for me to comment.
It's not as cut and dry as the story title and summary implies.
Lexmark discounts certain cartridges with the understanding that the user will return the spent cartridges to Lexmark.
Maybe they should stop doing that.
Lexmark recycles the cartridges and sells them again. Lexmark got their panties in a bunch because another company was taking their prebated cartridges and recycling them, causing Lexmark to lose money.
If the business model isn't working, Lexmark doesn't necessarily have a legal recourse.
I do not consider them at all, and am definitely prejudiced against someone who puts them on their resume.
Let's forget for a a minute that that is illegal.
Illegal? Where? Are you seriously suggesting that people with certifications are some sort of protected class under the law? I filtered out 3-page resumes. Do you think that is illegal, too?
- the cards often appear balanced for high action. Almost every hand sees flops that are difficult for players to let go of. It's our perception that bad beats on the river are far more common online than seen at the meatspace tables. (Undecided if this is just due to more hands being played however...)
People assert this observation over and over again. But nobody ever comes up with the backing data and math. On rec.gambling.poker, "On-line poker is rigged." is the punch-line to jokes.
Reading this review I would get the impression that GenCon is all about selling stuff and "products". There's that element, and the vendor area is fun. But that's not really the point of going to the convention for me. The point is to get together with gaming geeks and play games. There's a huge catalog of events for role-playing, board games, & card games. It's a blast.
Case in point: the plans for the death star were being transported at the start of the movie, which implies that for some odd reason, they couldn't be sent via intersteller communication. Probably because the secret rebel base doesn't have the massive communication platform necessary for such.
They still could've switched ships on some other planet. Not that it bothers me much.
Regardless of a judge's MORAL stance on an issue, they are to rule according to the LAW, and the Constitution. That's why abortion remains legal in this country. Regardless of whether or not you feel abortion is a sin, or morally repugnant, or whatever, abortion seems to be allowed by the Constitution.
Your mistating Roe v. Wade. The justices ruled that state laws restricting abortion violated the rights implied in the fourth ammendment. Not just that Constitution allows abortion, but rather that it prohibits the states from making it illegal.
Yeah yeah, emacs or vi or whatever. But once the program is compiled and ready to run, how do I enter it in the contest. Or did you mean that I should submit the program through the editor of the newspaper? Or...
You know, I wouldn't be surprised if emacs had a built in function for "submit poker bot to contest". Have you tried CNTRL-META-P S ?
Other civilizations may never develope or rely on sophisticated computers as we do because they may have such high mathematical skills they don't need them.
I'd always assumed that droids contained sophisticated computers.

It's just what the say when they're thinking up their next sentence.

Palpatine creates the "phantom menance" for no other reason that to justify the clone army, which he plots to control later.
