Perhaps the five-paragraph essay needs to die. Perhaps more kids need more exposure to creative writing. Visit one of Dave Eggars (sp?) studios -- the Pirate Store, Brooklyn Superhero Supply etc. -- and see kids engaged and excited about creative writing. Get them interested and excited, then help them hone the craft.
It can be formulaic, or it can be free form -- there are many ways to write.
Neither am I a luddite, but I am a pround RetroGrouch. Plaintext email always has been, and always will be the way to go. Let's here it for 80 character column widths and typewriter-spaced fonts!
Yep, back when our shop "mandated" MS Windows (I used OS/2), I used Pegasus rather than Outlook. Before we switched to an Exchange server, I had migrated to Linux and Claws mail, then Thunderbird once we implemented an Exchange server.
+10 on that. Started using Claws (sylpheed) years ago on my FreeBSD boxes and haven't looked back. It's what I use at home, and what my wife uses, too.
Since we're forced into an exchange server at work, I use thunderbird on my Ubuntu machine (I'm in the only person at work who's main machine is Linux).
There's is much to be said for an email client that saves all the files as text.
Which were the ham radio equivalent of a BBS. Rather than dial in, you used a radio and a modem to link up via radio. It was pretty cool, sending messages back and forth across the country to people. It usually took a day or two, depending upon how many hops it took -- a lot like FidoNet.

My obvious question is who is the arbiter of what whether it is the "best available science"? Folks who are actual scientists, or member of Lamar's committee, who are so deeply and philosophically scientific?
The Presentation Manager and the Workplace Shell. Is there any OS of any distro where one can grab a document object, drop it on a printer object, and have it just print? I loved that about OS/2.
Windows might be able to do that nowadays -- I wouldn't know, my MS workstation at work sits mostly idle, as I'm allowed to use by Ubuntu laptop for everything I see fit (benefit of being #2 IT guy in the company).
I think you may have missed the point (and, I don't think his point was clearly made). The thing about "all those shark attacks" that took place 5-10 years ago one Summer? Not statistically significant, in terms of the annual average. There really weren't *more* shark attacks that year, just more got reported. People don't realize that, then they freak out, stay at home, and die from carbon monoxide poisoning or raining frogs.
Miniature surveillance aircraft would never need to return to base if they could cling to overhead power lines to recharge their batteries. Now engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are close to perfecting the trick – taking inspiration from birds.
Maybe that's redundant, but "james" has tried 7500 times in the last 5 days to login to a machine that neither allows password authentication, nor has a user named "james".
For a small business that is just now looking at getting an Exchange server, what would be the bess OSS alternative?
Thinking that it would be much easier to build and integrate the OSS solution from the ground up, rather than shoehorn it into an existing Exchange environment, what's the best approach here?

Then again, I used OS/2 Warp quite successfully in a production environment.

Put that CTRL key where it *belongs*!
Go buy a metric shit-ton of 2N2222 transistors.
No, wait -- go mine some silicon. . .
Well shit.
I thought this was The Star.
I'm sure it's not frivolous for the victim -- they're just going after who has the most money.

In Theory, Theory and Practice are the same; in Practice, they're different.

Beakman's assistant was *way hotter* than any bunsen burner Nye had. . .

Uh, the birds aren't recharging.
Really.
Gack! Some of those look awful. . .
No, it's the screen doors you have to worry about. . .
I took my 22 year old Leading Edge Model D [complete with 640k RAM and huge 40 Mb HD] to the recyclers yesterday.
My first real computer, purchased with my own money.
LEWP was a decent word processor.
RIP.

Something is broken on their end.
Well said!

Insightful?! You've got to be kidding me--do the damned math, it's 8.8 hours per workday.
Shit, I'm already doing 10+ hrs/day. 80 in 9 days would be gravy. . .
or it didn't happen.
