I'll address this issue right off the bat. This is great software, but it isn't an Office killer, nor is it designed to be
Quit it with the sensationalist headlines... this program is designed to be a smaller, faster office suite, not the XP killer everyone here would like to see (me included)

The Post 9/11 Tech Boom
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Continuing increases in sales across the tech spectrum as individuals, businesses and governments make sure their hardware and software systems can deal with the challenges and problems of a post 9/11 world.
Well of course there is going to be a boom, because we'll all need new hardware once the CBDTPA becomes law, hence fueling the "Post 9-11" tech boom.
Because in the post 9/11 world, we're all potential terrorists and thieves, and the gov't has to protect it's corporate cash cows.
If we built a little enclosed park with atmosphere on the moon, I wonder how long it would take him to adapt the model in his brain to calculate the new trajectories?
Well, considering that a dog wouldn't last long in a moon-like atmosphere, I hope he can do it quickly!:)
The brain must have some sort of internal gravitation model
No, it's what you learned...
Just for funny's sake, let's say we had a baby in space, and taught it how to catch and all that stuff. If you brough the kid back down to earth and did this in reverse, you would reach the conclusion that the brain must have some sort of internal zero-G model built in.
We know so little about the brain and how humans actually 'learn' and store information like catching and walking that it would be silly to try to explain it by saying that there is some 'built-in' model.
Still, that's only about 4/day which seems very conservative to me.
Not really, it just depends on the person, and who you give what email address to. I don't give out my 'personal' email address very much, and only to certain sites, and I'd never publish my email address on USENET without a bit of harvester proofing.
Slashdot Mirror
I say keep on posting 'em. I get a kick out of all the reactionary comments from the lame posts.
A +5 first post! How great is that?
Reminds me a lot of Demolition Man and their commercial jingles radio station... absolute cheese...
But there's not nearly as much money in helping the disabled as making cell phone tech better!
Shame on you for knowing the shortcut key! :)
even at university level I would guess it is still quite easy to find virgin programmers :P
:D
Hell, just hang around here for a while...

At least link to The Onion Article you got your reference from...
This sounds sweet, but my only question is what OS does it run? RhinocerOS?
Aye, the corporations are the ones lined up waiting to be culled :)

I meant aren't the ones... sheesh
Shouldn't "cash" equal "sacred" :)

No need to fret, Cmdr Taco is getting married soon!

I have a .ca (not really overseas...) and I haven't got an email about this at all!
What about all the other international accounts?
Among the applications required by emergency management agencies are voice, video, instant messaging, e-mail, database services and Web browsing.
Ya, just what I want emergency workers to have! AIM and streaming videos! (pr0n?)
Shouldn't they be trying to restrict internet access for workers?
I think this page is the URL that is buggered up in the article. Enjoy!
I already get this in my email from other people:
Hi, I send you this news to ask for your advice!
Along with all kinds of pertinent documents...
In the same line as this quote, it's interesting to note the Dutch produced such painters as Van Gogh and Rembrandt and M.C. Escher
Albeit the dutch also had plenty of wars, conflicts, and even pirates, both in the true, historical sense and in the modern sense of the word.
So, in context, were the patent laws a major factor in each countries development?
Isn't kazaa a dutch company? Look at how evil they are! Barbarians... tsk tsk
Great minds think alike eh?
Damn I'm a wanker...
that should read "Has the format war been won"
