It's not MS Times New Roman. The letterforms are subtly different.
As for the rest of your post, you're an idiot. I don't know what it is that you're seeing in those documents, but it certainly is not the kind of variable letterspacing you see in computer typesetting or word processing.
The letter spacing is *not* identical point for point. There are obvious differences. THEY DON'T MATCH UP.
And you are incorrect about the "special order" IBM Executive ball, too.
Basically, you're repeating the same pulled-out-of-their-asses bullshit that's been posted to right-wing masturboard after masturboard.
The signatures not matching doesn't mean anything. It's entirely possible that the order to take a physical was one of a stcak of such orders and that they were rubber-stamped. My rubber-stamp signature is quite different from the one I sign manually.
Or the signatures might have been forged (with permission) by a subordinate to save his lazy superior the trouble. Happens all the time.
Proportional letterspacing was not very rare, Times Roman *did* exist at the time, and that kind of kerning is *not* impossible -- in my professional opinion as a typesetter, the kerning on the document exhibits attributes that one would expect from a proportional typewriter and not from Word.
And I've read that the IBM Executive was quite common in military office usage.
My PC is in a whole 'nuther room, so space and noise aren't an issue. I program when I want it to record, and it records. Then I can play it back via radio remote control while lying on my couch -- and I *also* get to do the same thing with all of those downloaded shows, which seems to me to be an added bonus.
I guess the downside is that I can't use my PC at the same time I'm watching TV...
I'm using ATI's card and software under WinXP, FWIW.
I'd be very surprised if the predictive text system works as well as the reviewer appears to indicate, unless the only words you use are common ones (or if you're willing to use up virtually all of your storage on your custom dictionary entries).
Every predictive text system I've used in the past has been slower (due to dictionary-adding, backspacing, and so on) than it would have been by using more 'traditional' input methods like thumb-texting.
OK. I have a computer with video in, a DVD+-R drive and 300 GB of hard drive space. Just about anybody upgrade their system with the same for about $400. Right? A little more if you want digital video in.
And it's user-friendly. Got a remote control and everything.
So how much is Panasonic's system, and how would it be better for me than what I've already got.
Some of the top analytical and intuitive problem solvers in the world, and they can still get their credit cards hacked. Bravo.
But why oh why couldn't the researchers have researched a hack on, say, Everquest? Thirty thousand startled and whiny chess players wouldn't be nearly as entertaining as three hundred thousand startled and whiny mob grinders.
Nope, no nerve struck -- unlike you, I am not so sensitive about the supposed weakness of my culture that I have to denigrate other cultures in favour of my own.
You can fuck off because you're not contributing. This isn't rocket science. Shrug.
Their filth? How do you mean? They've been warned that they'll be off the air faster than you can say "al-Jazeera" if they air anything anti-Jewish in Canada.
And other than their occasional lapses into Israel-hating, they're an extremely well-balanced and informative news source.
Watch CBC Newsworld (available through many US cable plans) for a couple of months, and try telling me that our culture isn't astonishingly different from that of the US.
Not at all. When you live next door to the 900-pound gorilla that is the USA, you have to take steps to preserve your culture. This is not an issue where laissez-faire capitalism is to the service of the country.
As such, we have a certain number of slots available for non-Canadian programming. CNN and Headline News got in first; they're the US news channels we get.
The CRTC recently turned down an Italian language entertainment channel because there was already enough Italian language programming available. We did take al-Jazeera, ostensibly because we had no Arabic-language news programming.
Canadians have overwhelmingly polled such that they would prefer cultural protectionism over a free market media.
And, besides, anyone who *really* wants FOX News can get it by grey market satellite.
[Please reconsider about the situation or at least know what's going on.]
You assume that I don't know what's going on.
I've got a firewall. I'm running an anti-virus program. My machine is off when I'm not using it. I know to listen for strange hard drive accesses. I check my registry. I run HijackThis, AdAware and SpyBot regularly.
I've been hit by one virus and two trojans in fourteen years. Neither were from surfing. This is not because I'm lucky, but because I am aware.
The "future and growth of the web" is based on consumer demand. Full stop. Consumers want to fire and forget. When I get home from a long day of development, I want to fire and forget, too.
I use Windows because there's software that I can't run under Linux.
And I use Explorer because there are websites that don't render properly under anything else. Sure, it's bad design to create your website such that it only works under IE, but that's really not my concern; I just want the content and the pretty pictures.
My machine is secure. I'd sooner have an insecure browser than does what I need it to do than a secure browser than doesn't.

Booyah!

I'll be in my bunk.

Jeez. So it's a troll to ask a question, and then flamebait to ask why that's a troll.
It's pretty clear that some asshole (probably the anonymous one from earlier today) is modbombing me. Ah, well, you'll get yours in meta.

Popularity isn't part of the criteria of selection.

Oh, I get it. You're just *trolling* in that stereotypical self-important "America is all that there is" manner.
You can fuck off now. Buh-bye.
Typical knee-jerk anti-Canadian rhetoric.

He's a subscriber, so he had ample to time compose a reply before it was posted to the main page.
Not a new trick. Happens to me every so often.
I'm not an American. It works that way in Canada as well, as per my CP Style Guide.

I think the other subpost said what I needed to.
As for security: fine. Sorta secure. Secure Lite.

And you are the evidence that somewhere, in some farm in middle America, there exists a chicken with teeth.
Except that the chicken's knee-jerk reaction is more impressive.
Nope. I don't see it that way; that is, I don't accept your definition of that aphorism.
