Office 97, simply put, does everything anyone could want, and does it well
That's just not true. Try publishing a book with Office 97. Suppose you want to change the style of your section headings. LaTeX can do it with a simple change in your header. Just edit a couple of lines and you're done. Or, suppose you want to change the style of references in your bibliography. Again, just a few quick edits in LaTeX. I have no idea how you'd do that in Office 97.
While I can't say that Office 2010 offers anything over Office 97(due to lack of experience), it is definitely not the case that Office 97 does everything one could want. I have heard that the equation editor in 2010 is much better, FWIW.
As a music buyer, I need marketing even for bands that I know about. I need to be informed in a timely fashion when they have new music or are on tour or do things like spin-off projects and collobrations.
What.cd does a really good job of doing exactly that without any help from marketers.
Sounds fine to me. I have only so much attention in a month. If my attention goes to one content provider, they should get all of the compensation. If my attention is split between 5 content providers, they should split the compensation.
Are you an alt for BadAnalogyGuy? Trains actually do something useful you can't do as well with horses. Javascript does nothing you can't do better with either plain HTML, or a native app. If you want to display a document, HTML is great and javascript adds nothing useful. If you want to write an app, there are any number of portable languages and toolkits that will perform much better than javascript.
According to Merriam-Webster, terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion while terror is defined as a state of intense fear.
Sounds to me like quite a few fear mongering politicians are guilty of terrorism.
Science and belief in intelligent design are not incompatible.
Science and intelligent design are in fact incompatible. That some people believe in both at the same time is only proof that the human mind can hold two incompatible thoughts at the same time. That is actually quite a common phenomenon, and shouldn't be surprising in the least.
If these college professors are so willing to make an argument with such an obvious flaw, they're not terribly smart after all. Don't put your faith in people smarter than you when your own brain can easily tell you that their arguments are fallacious.
If it is true that only compromised computers blue screen then it's hard to fault Microsoft for their patch code choking when it stumbles across the exploit code.
It's pretty easy to fault them for not taking a checksum before they patch to ensure that the file isn't modified. If it is, warn the user.
So, this is proof that religious people aren't using their whole brain then?
To be less inflammatory, this doesn't really change anything. For a religious person, they would accept that God created the brain in such a way that makes the spiritual experience possible. Why would there not be a physical substrate for that experience?
The American revolution was also an attempt to keep aristocratic rule alive. Just under aristocrats from America instead of Britain. Look at the signers of the Declaration of Independence, they're a bunch of rich merchants and lawyers.
To receive what? Analog TV is dead in the US. If you're still watching OTA broadcasts, spend an hour on a weekend to make one of these. It works much better for DTV than rabbit ears. I found the reflector to be unnecessary.
If you feel your senator is not adequately representing the interests of your state, then that's your and your state's problem and you can solve it at the ballot box.
I was with you until here. I cannot solve my state's problems at the ballot box.
Now I wasn't on the phone, so I can't tell you for sure if she just had problems navigating the phone menu or not. But she had done it before about a year earlier and had the experience you had. About 10 minutes to get a human and then a new key with no questions asked. I don't know why it was a problem the 2nd time.
And no, being stolen from does not make piracy legal. It does however make it just. Comparisons to shoddy consumer goods are irrelevant as information is fundamentally different.
That does not always work. I replaced the motherboard on my GF's PC and reinstalled Windows. WGA would not activate. She spent about an hour on the phone trying to get a human at Microsoft. When she finally did, she was told that there was nothing they could do.
This was a retail copy of XP that she paid over $100 for. Microsoft has her $100, she has no OS. Those of you who like to compare piracy to theft, this is what real theft looks like.
I did put her on Ubuntu for quite a while, until she decided that she couldn't live without Freehand MX (which has some problems under wine). So we pirated XP. Seems fair to me.

Then they file a DMCA complaint with your hosting provider/ISP.
Easily maintaining consistent formatting throughout a long document is not a niche issue.

How is it that such smart people come up with such dumb ideas?

It's not quite so simple. Remember that Newton was highly religious. It would be hard to describe him as not having a fully functional brain.
So, this is proof that religious people aren't using their whole brain then?
To be less inflammatory, this doesn't really change anything. For a religious person, they would accept that God created the brain in such a way that makes the spiritual experience possible. Why would there not be a physical substrate for that experience?

Specifically, try to find a location near the girl's locker room.
When I read the blurb, I was wondering why they hadn't moved to ELF.

She liked it fine, I just have no interest in converting her. She knows windows and can administer it herself, so that's less work for me.
That would still require a copy of Windows.

When the computer is trying to protect its owner's secrets, the key should be in the owner's head, not stored in a chip.
Then attackers would just stick metal probes in your head after stripping it with acid.
I'm more curious as to how they caught him. Are pre-release copies of the game watermarked? Or did he just have a big mouth?
I know, sucks doesn't it. I'm not advocating it by any means, but it's a lot more plausible than actually paying everything back.
