We're both busy here, so just a few quick thoughts. (Though I'd be glad to continue this on alt.freemasonry.)
* 1375 to 2004 != thousands of years
* Modern Freemasonry (according to the UGLE) started in 1717 when the first GL the GLE was formed. (Modern masons are the only ones avaliable to sue microsoft.)
* The origins of Freemasonry are unknown. Some people believe there is a connection to mason guilds, but little to support that.
* I don't know where you got the idea that Freemasons were "originally behind the architechture and construction of many churches and cathedrals"
I think that math is important to lawyers, programmers, ditch-diggers, aerospace engineers, and the aforementioned people flipping burgers ad McDonalds.
it just seems strange that the source of the article can't be the creator of the content.
I don't really thing that its appropriate, but if the editors don't have any problem with it, well, then I can either go somewhere else for my news, ignore it, or enjoy an interesting article:)
I know that I'm not the only one doing it around here.
Okay, that really doesn't justify anything -- of course, I don't think you really need to justify your actions here. The editors have don't that for you.
In my beginners class, I teach OO.o along side MS Office. Often times, my very computer illiterate students have trouble understanding that there are differences. (e.g. They have no trouble using the free alternative.)
Of course, they don't use much beyond the basic tools -- but I'd venture that the majority of office users don't either.
"Or, if there's room on the cartridge, you could buy expansion decks and scan the cards you wanted into your game cartridge so they'd be ready for a game anytime. Is this even possible? Does the E-reader prevent a cartridge from being inserted?"
No such luck. The e-reader not only takes up the cartridge slot, but also that "data link" port (or whatever it is they call it)
I don't think he's bragging about how smart his kids are -- my father taught me how to use a soldering iron at about the age he's talking about. Same goes for my brother.
I may be a little bias, of course -- being a teacher has taught *me* that children (when raised properly) are capable of more (both intellectually and in maturity) than most adults I know.

This is the funniest AC post I've ever seen...
"The proof of the pudding is in the Turing."
oh, wait...
A clue stick for you to beat yourself with...
FREE TIBET!

We have? That's news to me. Got a link we can refer to?
What's really sad, is that it took this long before someone pointed this out!
Come on guys! We're losing our edge!
*cough* Firefox Opera *cough*
... wow ...
I haven't seen a popup ad in
Funny, everytime I hear "Starwars: Episode III" I hear "I Hope It Doesn't Suck"
Does that tie in wiht ep4 just as well?
You would have done better to say "Freemasonry".
Francmasonry looks to me like a spanish/romainian group -- probably pseudo-masonic.
And yes, we (Freemasons) do tend to use long abbreviations, D.O.U.O.S.V.A.V.V.M. wouldn't be a message (see: Freemasons cipher)
What you're seeing in the obits are most likely his masonic credentials.
Do they use tiny axes?
:)
Ever see that movie "innerspace" -- its kinda like that
Wouldn't using the Dvorak layout just create a simple substitution cypher?

Some more information
Nope

This doesn't make any sence. Why would an "IT guy" know how to weld? or how to rebuild a transmission? Thats just silly.
I believe that you're confusing Knowlege with Intelligence. They are two very different things.

Maybe its just me, but wouldn't paper discs be more environmentally friendly than say, plastic ones?
