I have personally installed it on 3 computers last night that only had IE, while waiting for the backup recovery to finish.
It helps to know the admin password too:)
The other thing I do is install it on the computer, let the user use IE, and then they call me and say it's not running right. I reply: Oh there's a fix for it. I forgot to tell you. Use the little red and blue thingy at the lower left corner, yes, that one...
And you know, that leads them to believe that IE was an older, buggier version. I prey on their false sense of know-it-all-ness.

The reality is that it makes very little difference in what year Hamilton was born. It's trivia unless you are a seasoned and focused historian.
Now, the real strength of Wikipedia is that modern facts (something that happened last month, last week, last night) can be incorporated into articles with more historical breadth. The news media does not do this by and large, because they have 1 headline and 5 lines of text on the wire, and/or a 30 second video montage, so there just isn't time.
Books take months (years) to write and magazine articles are mostly trying to bridge the gap between books and news, yet they too can take weeks to be published.
Wikipedia does this in less than 24 hours. Do you know Yasser Arafat died? Of course, it's all over the news. Do you have access to the information as to why he was revered by the common Palestinian? Not from CNN. You'd have to buy a book.
Looking at the Wikipedia from this angle, you can see that it is failry unique.
Except for the f-16 fighter jet. Lots of people have seen it, yet only the US can make it. Also, patents don't mean shit to the chinese air force, so it's not like patents are protecting the design of the F-16.
>... I have removed it from my LJ to protect myself and those who commented in that thread from receiving any further visits from the FBI.
If nothing happened, then why did she remove it?
She would not have removed it if the SS had not come over and "had a businesslike talk" with her.
The question you need to ask yourself is this: Why did she remove it?
When you know the answer to that question, you will realize she was intimidated. I don't think she now thinks she was intimidated. But she was.
And the SS knew exactly what they were doing. They said:
We have heard a report. We came. We chatted. You did nothing wrong. We go now.
This should have been it.
Yet she took it down, and she said "I have removed it from my LJ to protect myself and those who commented in that thread from receiving any further visits from the FBI."
She obvioulsy did not want to get another visit. So she was intimidated.
>Obviously, I cannot link to the original LJ post that I made, because I have removed it from my LJ to protect myself and those who commented in that thread from receiving any further visits from the FBI.
She did remove it. She was intimidated to remove something she had written in a public forum. Without due process.
What's wrong with that? Dude, pick up "The Decline and Fall of the Third Reich". You'll see.
I love it. From now on, everybody please use "SS" to stand for Secret Service.
Before all the flames start. When I was 7-10, I used to sleep in a bed in a room upstairs at my great-grandmother's house, near Paris France.
She later told me that during the second world war, two SS officers were billeted in that room. One of them slept in that bed from 1940 to 1944.
My mother was born in 1943. At that house. My grandfather spend 2 years in a german work camp, in Baden-Baden, then returned to France to work the farm so that german troops could eat. The only reason my mother got enought milk and food is because those SS officers made sure she did. Also, early in '44, the young one came back early and cried in my great grandmother's arms. His entire family had been killed in an American bombing raid in Germany. He was 22 or so. In July, as the american approached, the two germans left with their units. My great grandmother never saw or heard of them again. All this to say that they were well meaning and doing their jobs with the diligence required by wartime military discipline.
The Secret Service ought to chill and let people express themselves.
No, it's a freedom of religion issue. She prayed that God do something for her.
You know you live in a police state when you are "Shaken Down" by the Praetorian Guards for praying.
I'll say this about The President: We deserve what we got. The republican party and the democratic party just feed us their little prepackaged presidential candidates and we blithingly "choose" between the two most corrupt and ass-kissing people in the country.
As The Governor of California said: "Girlie-men." (taken out of context, of course)
When the Chinese can fly their own SR-71, we'll talk again.
Or scramjet.
And one day, they might actually have an aircraft carrier.
On the other hand, research from multiple countries in space exploration is good to foster views from different angles and with different motives (the chinese solar telescope will certainly not be the "baby" of the US Air Force).
Anyway, this post is full of doo, so I'll go back to sipping on my brew.
I used to like Nintendo, but since they singed what little hair I had (hehe) with their nonsense, I like Sony PlayStation now... Wanna see my singed area?
Small, out of the way, like Tattoine, or Salusa Secundus (Sardaukars anyone?).
I say they were being punished.
Of course, they (the aliens) miscalculated. They used to dump their undesireables here, but the few that didn't die (the one who put on the fig leaves) were fruitful and multiplied. Got bigger too.
They tried to kill them off with that water rising shit, but a couple were smart enough to put some livestock on a boat.
Dang, and soon enough, they had jetfighters and nukes!
I say the current alien sighting are those investigators from the Galactic Commission, trying to make sure we don't discover their warcrimes, like dumping the deficients on small islands to die by Komodo.
You send the resume in text format, and it goes fine too.
They are used to it because resumes off monster.com come in ascii.
head hunters need you, not the other way around. They'll adapt.
Besides, send the document in ascii, open office, and a url to your website for the pdf version, and they'll have no room to complain. If they do, in OO.org, click: save as word 2000.

Nah.
Handwritten text: The average line has 10 words. The average page has 25 lines That makes the average page be 250 words.
4 pages are 1,000 words. 40 pages are 10,000 words. 400 pages are 100,000 words... Woa, went too far. Should have stopped at 200 pages.
You write 1 page per day (7 pages per week), you'll have a 50,000 word novel in about 7 months.
Now, the editing is the bitch.
On an aside, me, aspell dic and a python script can churn a 50,000 word novel in about 15 minutes. Won't be worth reading, you know...

Sheesh, get your gross generalization straight...
Let's try again
The first rule of Robot Fight Club is:
A robot may not harm a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
The second rule of Robot Fight Club is:
A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
The third rule of Robot Fight Club is:
A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
But what is the Zeroth law of Robot Fight Club?
