Fair enough. I've never encountered the limitation on network devices or outlook access to network folders. but your'e right on this one:
Excel 2010 not supporting multiple open instances of spreadsheets onscreen concurrently (How DARE you want to look at two spreadsheets side-by-side! Go back to LibreOffice!), and a long host of other bullshit.
Good news is that Word 2010 is newly multiple windowed, so hopefully they're working on the same functionality for excel and ppt. fwiw office 2011 on mac is all multiple windowed.
despite these items, i'm still impressed by the products.
Yeah I think ms has been making some good products recently, but it can't get over the cloud of its past crap. Win7 is really good. Office 2010 and 2011 are really good. Ie9 is really good. Bing is really good. I'mm a Mac and iPad user at home, but I'm really impresse d by their recent work
I think that this is a little unfair. Ppt is an extraordinarily easy way to make a decent (not great) presentation really quickly. You can share the files with anybody, and they know what to do with it. They have a full screen mode so it's easy to run a presentation. There are a lot of benefits.
Very insightful, thank you. I'm sure that the plug in hybrid plane has other advantages, but it's easiest to sell to the general public on the green aspects. If its really important to you to be green you ca burn your plane on biofuel. There might be some cost differential, but as you say, fuel costs are a tiny component of tco.
I haven't seen one in person yet, but from the comemrcials they look pretty slick. Goatburg also gave a good reveiw. Once a model comes to VMo I'll give them a close look.
Nothing will ever get me to subscribe to cable again guys.
Not even if a DOCSIS ISP were to bundle a free TV subscription with all home Internet plans? The "line fees" that DOCSIS and DSL ISPs charge for not bundling the ISP's other services are close to this.
even if princess came to your house with free cupcakes, woudl you subscribe??? example ad infinitum?
on the one hand, the Bible doesn't say anythinga bout other worlds, but on the other hand, I think God would wnat there to be many worlds. So, a tossup?
As discussed many times before, h264 is an open standard, which means anybody can implement it and there's no compentitive advantage / disadvantage by locking people out of the market. like frand patents (cough cough, motorola!). Of course, it's not open source, and anybody who makes money from h264 (over a certain revenue threshold) has to pay a licensing fee. Are there any precedents for this? How about 3g, lte, etc. It seems fair to me and a logical choice for firefox.
would anybody be surprised if this is all part of bjork's art? you know, how letting music into your life can have unintended powerful consequences. as a fan, i think this is right up her alley.
I'm sorry, if I were to trade off my rights being violated and another person's rights being violated, I choose the latter. Similarly, if I were to trade off many people's rights being violated, and a smaller subset of people's rights being violated, I choose the latter. Obviously the best answer is that nobody's rights are violated.
i absolutely agree. I would much prefer that the TSA profiles, which violates the civil rights of some, then randomly "search" four year olds and me for that matter. how can one be unthinkably bad but the other be ok?
also, they're expanding the scope of their searches. The other day I got searched at a train station in orange county, CA! If their justificaiton is they can protect all transit systems, then does this mean they can set up checkpoints on every city block with a bus stop? What if they find something? As far as I know it's not illegal to take a gun on a train. what if someone has some pot, which is obv not a terror threat? do they get arrested for that? how is that not a general random checkpoint? papers, please!
i agree with this, but no big deal, the TSA agents could have had a heart or some sensibility. Just run the kid through again. perhaps run the parent through first (as should have been done in the first place) to make sure there's somebody there to catch the kid when she comes out. security rules can be enforced in a sensible manner without pulling a screaming kid from her mother and patting her down. stranger danger! seriously, have a heart and some common sense and there will be 99% fewer problems.

That's not fair. If your going to give sex workers tax free status, how about us consultants? We all bill by the hour.
you should just use the name "overly critical bonch." I love it - you guys are like a schizo with two personalities!
did anybody else read the title this way as well? shoudl have read "accused of beaking arms-control." that's what the hyphen is for.
where do you work? business, govt, academia? union, non union?
'Experimental adaptation of an influenza H5 HA confers respiratory droplet transmission to a reassortant H5 HA/H1N1 virus in ferrets'
I'll be sad to see the ferrets go, but I fail to see how this rises to the level of NSABB.

bahaha s.b. "run your plane on biofuel." Don't go burning your plane! That wouldn't be very green. FTFM.

I'm pretty sure that the real danger of geo engineering is that it could fuck the planet up, matrix style.

You'd never say "He leveraged the razor and cut himself" because that isn't using to his advantage, so they aren't synonyms as you assert.
"He leveraged his razor to cut himself more efficiently than he could have done using a spoon." ftw!
tl;dr. i dont click on links. please provide a concise summary for me.
I'm not talking about rights. Random is a safe choice algorithm, profiling is not.
i dont know what this means
