There's also "Send To" which always shows up, but you have to know how to find your profile folder and put shortcuts to your favorite programs in there. And the premise of the article is that 90+% of windows users can't do anything but double (left) click.

Cell phones, like all phones, are dumb terminals. The phone wouldn't know who was near by, but the switch (server) could, assuming that everyone has their GPS option turned on.

Start by tracing the call (use caller ID even), then call that number.
Dispatcher: "Hey, are you trying to call the police?!?!"
Guy: "No, I'm fat and I've been jamming the emergency button into the seat."
You forgot "Kyoto Protocol", new oil drilling, etc. Hopefully, at the very least, Bush v2 will realize that the Next Big Threat won't be stopped with the National Missile Defense... He'll probably keep it going anyway though.
Making a database application is for geeks. If you're using more than a couple of tables, and you're trying to keep everything normalized, access is a pain in the posterior.
I've tried to do all kinds of stuff with access, and anything useful involved writing a bunch of visual basic code. The Access design gui drove me frickin' nuts. I eventually gave up on VBA and wrote my code in VB and referenced the access file. I found it way easier to deal with.
Now, thankfully, I'm out of that shop and I can do my useful and interesting things in mySQL with php for my scripting.
Who knows why this was modded up. Crazy moderators. That being said, I like to fight trolls...
The last thing we need right now is people criticizing the government
We always need to have people criticizing the government. That's the only way to maintain freedom. Duh.

How could anyone have a problem with this? If you are in favor of desecrating Old Glory, you have no business being in this country. Go to Afgahanistan, and join your ideological bedmates.
If this is passed I am going to burn an American flag every day until I get arrested. Then I'm going to fight the charge all the way through the supreme court. You are the one that is in Bin Laden's ideological bed. You know, the bed that's all about restricting peoples right to do anything you think is wrong.
People that do serious physical modeling have traditionally used bigger computers than your average spread sheet jockey. I think that's the way it should be. Different tools for different goals.
Do you want a four year old computer on YOUR desk?
That's what I'm running right now. It works fine when I boot RedHat or M$-Win98. Does everything I need. Even runs Apache w/ php and mySql for a test environment in M$ (don't ask why I would bother to do this). Even handles the GIMP and photoshop well. So what if filters take four seconds instead of two.
Some would argue that stable software is not important. If it was important people wouldn't buy unstable software, and software companies would be forced to make decent products.
When you get right down to it, most companies would rather pay $10,000 for 500 copies of a vaguely stable ms office than $20,000 for 500 copies of stable, solid and well written ms office.
You can become a computer programmer anytime. It's like carpentry, you learn on the job.
Don't listen to this. This is the reason that so much software sucks. And so many web pages. People that don't really understand programming and computers write ugly, kludgy code, and they're lucky when it works.
Computers are complex. You need to know a lot about everything. To write efficient programs you need to know how CPU's work. To make efficient CPU's you need to know how high level programming works.
That's why a lot of CS and CE degrees differ by a small number of courses.
"There are different method for teaching and some starts at the end of a cane. The parents and the kids accept this as a part of the learning process and everyone is better at the end of the day."
All right! If the kids don't learn anything else, at least they can learn to solve their problems with violence. What a great message. Why did I never think of it?

Uh... They should probably be extra removed from office if they don't know what they're doing.
Like when they told Bush 2.0 that the Florida vote was invalid.

Maybe if they didn't charge fifteen dollars for a paperback people would be more likely to pay the asking price.

Personally, I prefer big-endian dates:
yyyy/mm/dd
They sort better.
