Strange, I use OO to open everything my office sends me in various Office formats: Excel, Word, Powerpoint.
I must be dreaming because the formatting is correct too, for the most part.
Better to be happy that I can get 90% of what I need from my co-workers than to bitch and complain about the 10% that I can't (and that's usually the boss's silly powerpoint effects...)
You're pretty silly to be calling someone else names when you don't understand the statistics of disease.
What the parent poster hinted at, and you completely missed, is that measles, among a number of other diseases, have higher mortality rates than just 4%.
Google for it (something the parent poster also mentioned).
I had the exact same thought. However, I think it has more to do with the fact that it's brand new, people don't know (or didn't, I don't know the current state) what it is, and it has killed a few people.
I think the excitement will die down in a little while... I don't know that it's "government" knee-jerk as much as it is human fear of the unknown.
You're not fully paying attention, and you make the (very common) assumption that if one report has one group in the U.S. pushing for X, then the whole country must support X.
It's exceedingly foolish to think the "U.S." wants the UN to do/anything/ in postwar Iraq. There is still considerable debate about whether or not the U.S. will invite the UN to do a cotton-pickin' thing.
And please give up on the "sole reason = oil" meme. It's old, worn-out, and demonstrably wrong.
"interface" is your whole problem? I thought the nicest part of XUL was that it was an easy-to-read interface language. So you could build your own, and just talk to the features that are built-in to Mozilla/Minotaur.
Well, the way I look at it, you have a choice: Keep going on fossil-fuels, or try something new.
And they other poster had a great point about the volume in the Pacific: It's gonna take a LONG time before any overall change in the water temperature.
I'd expect you'd find a bigger localized effect on water temperature near undesea volcanoes.
I've seen numerous reports about protests. I've heard that there are protests going on all around the world.
I don't read indymedia or other left-wing web sites, so I wonder... how could I have found out such things without mainstream media?
Speaking of your signs: There was a group of anti's here in DC with a "Stop the Slaughter of innocents in Iraq" sign... before any fighting really started (aside from the usually no-fly-zone bombings and such). My question about that one: What slaughter?
Oh, and I saw that on mainstream news, not in person. It occurs to me that those who cry "bias" complain whenever they see news about the "other side" shown. I see examples to complain about for both sides... so what does that mean?
To you and the other anonymous poster... I am, actually, thinking that keeping your email address to yourself is a great idea.
Yes, the net is a global medium of course, but I choose forums such as this one to expose myself (heheh that sounds dirty) to new/different ideas rather than receiving such things in my email.
I use email to communicate with people I know, just as I do with the telephone. I want people to be able to contact me... just those people I know. If I had to have a "public presence" that required me to display an address to the world, I'd give it a different name than my 'private' one, which would allow me to quickly scan messages from people I didn't know -- If I decide I want to communicate with them through my "private" channel, it's easy enough to send them my private address.
I understand your concerns, for sure. I just look at it a little differently. Interesting discussion, though (for a change, around here:)).
I certainly agree with your last point. But I also certainly wouldn't try to legislate it away.:)

Your use of the tired "Bzzzzt" exclamation at the beginning of your post completely overwhelmed any potential interest in whatever it was that you were trying to say.
Please, next time try to avoid the condescending tone, people might respond more constructively.
Apparently you're vehement, but I do not agree that it requires legislation. When you drive into a downtown at night to see a show, and you park your car, do you leave it unlocked? You do things ALL the time to prevent abuse against you, why should using better/different email processes be any different??
It/is/ easy and simple, "friend". I've had many accounts over the years and i DON'T get spam unless i make a mistake (like I noted in my first post) or I have a separate account just for junk.
Explain to me how, "friend", that I can get away with not having anywhere near the spam problem you do, even though I've been online for about as long as it's possible to have been.
Sorry you're so vehement against it. It's a techical problem, there are technical solutions.
I don't think the reviewer is commenting at all on the "benefits", one way or another, of a craftsmanship approach as opposed to the standard engineering view (that doesn't seem to be working).
If fact, it sounded like the reviewer really wanted to find something new, maybe even a little "holistic", and didn't find it in this particular book.
I think, rather, that the reviewer is commenting on his opinion that the book sucks rocks and doesn't do a thing to advance the author's arguments, nor does it sufficiently explain how one might go about becoming a 'craftsman' as opposed to "just" an engineer.
Of course, the hue and cry of the masses will eventually bury any other viewpoint.
I currently have four email accounts.
1 is my work email, only messages to and from people I work with. I have never received a spam to that account.
1 is an old work account that I still occasionally use. No Spam received for 2 years. Then I accidentally put it in when I registered a domain with those fucks at Verisign (sorry for the french). Now I get about 20 spam per day.
1 is a throwaway Netscape.net free account: Sign up for all web forms, stupid shit with this one. Gets mostly spam, but I don't care.
1 is a private family account that only a few people know. No spam there.
There's a solution, it's in using email intelligently. But like I say, the great unwashed AOL users will whine until their gov't wastes more of my tax money.

"It seems like this program is like alpha alpha".
Uhm, you mean like the fact that it's version 0.1, and if you read more than the download section you might notice that it's essentially a preview?
Good job man.

LOL, I just noticed your nickname, I guess it makes sense.
Oh, calm down and come back tomorrow.
And while you're gone, get hit in face with a cream pie, sit on a whoopie cushion, come across some fake dog turds, and locate a sense of humor.

I'm sorry to hear that you're not proud of your own nation. We are.
I'm surprised you think we're NOT going to defend the innocent Iraqi people. We are the good guys.
Come back in a few years and we'll talk, observing the differences in the world (and Iraq in particular) between now and then.
As for your cowardly comment about us taking bullets in the head I simply say, bring it on.
To whomever you know who actually asked the "If Saddam is fair, is Bush?" question, I can only answer: Bring it on.
I'm sure the other side would love to target Bush, but somehow, I suspect the Secret Service, among others, might have something to say about it.
As to why no one asked the questions: You think no one did? Perhaps you just did not like the answers we received (which is entirely possible).

So close to being a perfect post. :) Can you perhaps point us to info concerning said qmail configuration?
I want to know how you can do it if you don't own the domain...
It was 1996, and it was designed to do so, has nothing to do with "willingness".

I keep trying to bring my tiny bit of reason to a discussion. Most of the time the noise is too great, but I'm too stupid to give up...
That's my method. Perhaps you have a better one you'd like to share with the rest of us?
Just like I don't go shouting my credit card numbers to anyone, I keep my personal information to myself. Why don't you?
