She also contributed to Gore's campaign in 92 instead of Bush Sr.'s. I guess that was just a crafty way of covering her tracks during that time, eh?
No contradiction there. Dixiecrats (Southern, conservative Democrats) often support centrists in national elections and primaries. She had contributed to Gore's campaign in primaries, where Gore positioned himself as a Southern Democrat from TN, ostensibly contrasting Dukakis, who had a dog tag around his neck with the word "LIBERAL" engraved on it. As an example, I would gladly contribute to a moderate-to-left Republican candidate during primaries who might show a promise of winning, despite my leftist beliefs and disdain for GOP.
You do know that she was a registered Democrat when she tried that case, right?
You know who else is a registered Democrat?
That's right. Zell "Liberalism is a disease" Miller.
Don't read too deep into party affiliation. Many Southern Democrats only share the "D" with their progressive counterparts in the Northeast and along the coasts, and not much else.
Dammit where is the half dog half alligator? This whole cloning regular animals thing is getting boring.
Any biology student will tell you that dogs and alligators cannot be combined through cloning, even if we had the technological means to interbreed between like species. For starters, alligators are reptiles, and according to the evolutionary chart of animals they are a step below mammals with respect to their internal circulatory and respiratory systems. Reptiles have 3 1/2 chambered hearts, where the ventricle is not fully developed. Dogs, on the other hand, have 4-chambered hearts and a respiratory system much like those of humans, horses, lions and cats.
In sum, if it were possible, you'd more likely see a human-dog/horse-dog/dog-goat chimera than a cross between an alligator and a dog. The former's internal systems are on different evolutionary steps.
It tries to point out the useless junk studies, but fails to explain the phenomenon.
Many respectable universities require (mandate) their profesors to submit (bi-)yearly research papers for collegiate journals. As a consequence, every discipline is littered with useless studies, surveys, theses, and research papers, which state the obvious and expend ink for no other reason but justification of private/public grants or retention of one's job.
In this respect, two of the most abused fields are Philosophy and Sociology. You'd have to browse few dozen journals to find couple of good research papers which are not engaged in aimless mental masturbation.
This also plays a factor in some professor's choices to teach at junior colleges or even at high schools to avoid such tasks, sometimes forgoing some pay, just to be relieved from the obligation of contributing lenghty papers to journals.
There is no 'big fish' pirate group breathing down Apple's neck like few notable groups do with Discreet and Steinberg, defeating any elaborate anti-piracy scheme days after it is put into place. 99% of Mac software is either freely installed on multiple machines or can be enabled by a serial key.
The real pirate, in this case, is Joe Sixpack with an ADC account.
If Apple fails to enforce their NDA, it could be damaging to the company. On the other hand, if they sue the shit out of this guy and few of his accomplices, the developer community and "fanatics" would get outraged. It's a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation.
Personally, I'd like to see this guy face the consequences in 10k increments. I do, time to time, download something which is not quite legit, but even I'm not stupid enough to touch an official beta seed assigned to my account.
Having read the interview with desicanuk on drunkenblog, and knowing his medical aspirations, perhaps the world would be better served if he didn't apply such excellent decision-making in the operating room.
It's amazing how 21 years later MacOS still has the same crappy voice synthesizer. Why has the industry been so stagnant when the issue came to text-to-speech?
I know there are solutions out there, among them AT&T Natural Voices (which I might add costs more than my computers put together), but generally, the speech thing didn't really take off.
To be fair, Windows also ships with the most annoying text-to-speech engine which hasn't made any progress since Windows 95.
Attraction is not one of the inherent qualities of plain text on white background, so that's not what I meant. Obviously, I'm referring to bells and whistles like snazzy themes and whatnot that come with Keynote and ones which are available through 3rd parties like KeynotePro, et al.
Whenever I do a outline in Keynote, aesthetic appeal is top priority. I'm sure for you it might serve an entirely different purpose, like for example, putting up lots of information.
In sum, Impress cannot really deliver the type of results I look for in a presentation app. To each their own.
"You can, for one, export your journal or newsletter as a PDF document, so that anyone with the free Acrobat Reader can enjoy it. You also have the option of exporting it as a Word, HTML, RTF or text-only file -- cross-platform formats one and all."
Perhaps do some research before correcting someone.
Also, I believe you're confusing iWork for something else. 'Kids doing homework' is another way of saying that an application is underpowered and lacks serious features. To state the obvious first - iWork is comprised of Pages and Keynote2, which target MS Publisher and MS Powerpoint respectively. Pages is not meant as a replacement for MS Word.
Secondly, Impress is horrible. It's clunky, slow, disorganized, and makes really unattractive slides. It cannot even compete with Powerpoint, let alone with Keynote.
AppleWorks is old, but I'd take that or AbiWord over OOo anyday.
I believe this new/. catchphrase started from this article where some idiot blogger claimed that Firefox extensions aren't digitally signed, which prompted him to write a thesis why IE is a better choice because of it.
He still would have won. Remember, it's not that Ken Jennings was superior in every discipline that no amount of ambiguity could make him lose. The reason he was victorious is because he was better than the contestants on the panel.
Throwing these hard questions at him wouldn't have been enough. First, you would need someone who could beat Jenings in regards to accessible (easy) questions.
I like to consider Jenings' string of victories not as Jenings vs. Knowledge, but Jenings vs. Weak peers.
The blog closely resembles Howard Dean's campaign blog circa Democratic Primaries, with similar rhetoric, complete with donation solicitations, volunteer kits, etc. The parallels are eerie. I think it's great!
Dean: "Take back your country"
Firefox: "Take back the web"
"Not only are we going to get downloaded in New Hampshire... but also in South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico! We're going to make users uninstall IE in California and Texas and New York. And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan and then we're going to Redmond, to take back the web! Yeeeeeeah!"
On OSX, I use iCal. Don't think anything else comes close. With the built-in WebDav functionality, it can be combined with.Mac, or OSS PHPiCalendar which makes a great to-do/calendar package for those who like to access their information from elsewhere. Works with Mozilla Calendar and KOrganizer too.
On Windows, there is a shareware app called Biromsoft To-Do List. Pretty simple and straightforward. I recommend it for those who are looking for a listmaker without all the bells and whistles that might otherwise come with aformentioned calendar apps.
blocking ads by domains through Hosts file is the dumbest thing one can do, especially when you're on Windows. It's a resource hog and doesn't accomplish half of what can be done with Privoxy or Proxomitron.

Unless if said programming is done with a help of a Brillo(TM) box.

This is natural progression, not innovation. I think you're confusing theese two things.

Don't touch the Hosts file.
Except when you rip the CD, it's no longer Apple's problem. As a company, they're trying to protect what's theirs.
