I am not the poster that you responded to, but I do want to say that your assertion that "independents" == "liberals" is just plain wrong.
Yes if someone says "Anyone but Bush" that can be loosely translated as "Anyone but a stereotypical Conservative"--the same people would be even more furious with Pat Buchanan. But some of those people (such as myself) would be just as frustrated with someone like Sharpton or Kucinich. So when I sympathize with "Anyone but Bush" I really mean "Anyone but an extreme ideologue".
I know blindly pro-bush people and blindly anti-bush people. But I know more people who just want a president that true Centrists/Moderates can be proud of.
And for the record, I've voted for more Republicans than Democrats--for president and congress in particular.
Sure, most here aren't eligible to compete; but often FLL needs volunteer judges for regional competitions. They need professionals from a variety of tech backgrounds. I volunteered as a programming judge a few months ago and it's a blast.
It makes for a long day and it's really exhausting--but it's a great opportunity to talk to bright kids who are excited about learning.
Okay, I have a silly question: Say I'm using XML to store structured data but I want the printable output I get from LaTeX. Why not use XSL to translate the XML to LaTeX and generate the printable version from that?
Does the drop-down stand out in any way special way (larger, different color, visually isolated, etc...?) or does it look just like any other control on the window?
At any rate, that single control sounds like a reasonable compromise, assuming you can easily identify which mode corresponds to the functionality you need.
The Maya solution can be taken too far. This is my major complaint about Blender. While it can be very powerful, my first impression was of menus appearing and disappearing, changing contents, controls showing/hiding based on selections in other drop-down boxes. It's so modal that it's hard to find functionality if you're not in the right mode, and it's hard to identify that your current mode is even the problem.
Granted, Blender's feature set is very rich so presenting all that functionality is an extremely tricky task... but it seems to me like an example of this idea taken too far. To be fair, I haven't specifically used Maya so I'm not sure how the UI compares.
Under this system, how do you decide which district is represented by which party? If my state's political parties choose their most qualified candidates to take those seats, my district may not be represented at all.

No, this time it'll work--and no one will have to get nailed to anything.

Joe Born said they need a gcc target for the processor. Does a project for developing this target already exist?
I scanned the forums briefly and didn't see anything on the subject.
Lazy, all of you. Nand gates are all you need.

Is there a way around this that I'm not seeing?
