Latex is for typesetting, not for desktop publishing. You write the content of the document along with formatting information. Then you let LaTeX figure out how to position the content on the page (following professional typesetting rules).
The whole point of DTP Programs, like Framemaker, is about having total control over positioning (this content thing seems to be optional, though).
Yes, it's possible to control positioning with LaTeX (I use it to make my resumes more shiny), but it's a real PITA.
OTOH some people say, (La)TeX was only created, so theoretical computer scientists have also something to code.
Well, I finished my Chemical Engineering study and hadn't heard of it either until i got into biosensorics. In biochemistry and related fields it's the commonly used mass unit and it means exacly the same as the atomic mass unit wich is gramms per mol.
For example the 'size' of an IgG-antibody is roughly 150 kDa (150000 g/Mol).
For those who don't know what a mol is: one mol consists of roughly 6E23 atoms (see the Avogadro constant for exact count).
I used to use one of those Cross pens. Writing with them is OK... unless you have to write several pages in a row. IMO the ink cartriges are badly designed. The catriges are very narrow close to the mouth. So when you are writing, the air, that replaces the used ink, is trapped as small bubbles in this narrow area and stops the inkflow.
Maybe because a depending package with a greater version number might incorporate new features and design changes, which might cause the main package to break.
I had a similar problem last week, when I made a stupid mistake while I tried to upgrade the ports-tree on my workstation in an under-caffeinated condition. This caused the pkg_tools to expect a shared object, whichs natural habitat is in a newer FreeBSD-Release than mine (4.0) and so they didn't work anymore.
The easiest way to (binary-) upgrade is to use the upgrade option of/stand/sysinstall. I did this yesterday to upgrade my 4.0-RELEASE to 4.1.1-RELEASE and it worked flawlessly (and probably a lot faster than a makeworld). But before doing that you should carefully read UPGRADE.TXT provided in the root-directory of every release. The most important points you have to take care of are:
make backups (just in case...;-) and use 'the version of sysinstall supplied with the version of FreeBSD to which you intend to upgrade'.

It doen't come with xf86cfg, it comes with xorgcfg instead (I didn't try it though, I only used xorgconfig).
