My cat jumps in your lap and puts his paw over your mouth when you whistle. The first time he did it, he balled his paw into what looks like a little fist and "punched" my boyfriend.
I want books that pick up where the previous version of the language/software left off. I already know what MS Word can do. I don't need to learn all about creating tables againin the next version. I know VB5, I don't need to learn all about for loops again in VB6. I want a book that will tell me all the new / replaced / different things from the previous version. If the basic concepts have radically changed, then I can see including this in the book, but bolding text hasn't changed much (if at all) in MS Word.
Along the same line in programming, since I already know all about the for loops and basic concepts, just cover those topics quickly with the syntax and really get into what the language is good for. That way I can quickly choose the best tools.
Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.
I know these are MS examples, but that is mostly what I work with.

They should be. It is false advertizing. Every time I get coffee from a vending machine, it looks and tastes more like the water from a mud puddle.
Strangely enough, if it hasn't rained in a number of days, the machine is empty.
Sorry.
He only does this to people who are in my house whistling.
I don't believe you've ever been in my house. Sorry for the confusion.

I read a SF book about bacteria that ate plastic. Caused a lot of grief in the world. I think it was called Mutant 59.
