  8. Its sad really... on Corel Sells GraphicCorp Division · · Score: 4

    I wish them luch, I've been using Corel Wordperfect Office on Win98 and Win2k just to avoid supporting MS Office. I would like to see Corel survive. the new Redmond Applications unit will need competitors.

    Corel Office 2000 is a bargain! You can get the whole darned suite for $20 at most places (OEM version) If people cant buy this product at THAT price, then Microsoft will never have any competition I guess.

    What would it take for Corel to regain the Office market? How inexpensive do they have to make their products before they're seen as an alternative to MS?

    I'm not positive about this, but I'm pretty sure WordPerfect is the only Windows platform product that supports DocBook, anyone have info on others? I dont think Word supports this?

    The success of Corel would be a Goodthing(tm), We need more companies like Corel and Adobe that are not swallowed up by Microsoft. I wish them luck, and will continue to support them.

    most RV mirrors are dual-angle polarised, you can flick a lever that will tilt it slightly so that the image is dimmed. Usually this lever looks like a hook that you can hang dice on, and defaults to day driving, on the left, move the lever to the right.

    E(1)=energy created by mill
    E(2)=energy consumed by motor
    E(3)=energy lost in friction

    E(1) < E(2) ;energy can neither be created nor destroyed

    E(2) + E(3) ;energy needed for your suggestion to work

    assuming E(1-3) are all positive (which they are) ;

    E(1) < (E(2)+E(3))

    nope, doesnt work, the windmill on top of the car while driving will actually decrease performance as it takes that much more power just to propell the car with the windmill engaged, and the power deployed to propell the car with the windmill deployed cant be even fully recovered.

    >> The problem is the ppl here today are not equally spread out and in the densely populated areas we do stupid things.

    The problem is that the people are TOO spread out, urban communities are more efficient than rural ones.

    The reason crime is higher in urban areas has nothing to do with the fact they're closer together, its the people. Segregation caused millions of racists to vote with their feet and flee the cities years ago. This is how urban sprawl started. I'm not talking about racism, or is segregation good or bad, I'm simply stating that segregation caused millions of chicken shit mighty-whitey men to spread themselves all over our land. This increased our dependance on automobiles. You could say that segregation caused this problem, or you could say that the average white man, (or our grandfathers) did.

    Whatever your opinion, this is where the problem started. The reason crime is higher in the urban areas, is that after the mighty-whitey exodus, most developement and land values in the urban areas dropped through the floor. Before this happened, it was the UPPER class who dominated the cities.

    I'm not anti-white, but this action by millions of white men, my grandparents included, put us in this situation. In retrospect, I think that less blame should be placed on the blacks and more on the whites for urban decay.

    If we could go back to living the way we lived years ago, in communities, the problem would be MUCH less severe.
