the usual use-cases for Word are entirely inappropriate for LaTex.
So what are the usual use-cases? Especially with something like LyX for the front-end, LaTeX is perfectly appropriate for letters, memos, books, scripts, code snippets, manuals, brochures (though layout isn't perfectly easy for the latter).
Except that English is defined by how it's used not by some arbitrary authority, in spite of what those boys up at Oxford will tell you.

Well, except that it wasn't in Kansas, nor was it in a location especially noted for tornados, or earthquakes, or much of any recent climatic or geologic problems.

Gosh, that problem has never been approached before! That's a fabulous idea!
Depends on how they get brighter. If it's because of being doused with gasoline and set aflame, they'll probably lose some weight.
Photons have mass in the sense that they respond to gravity. They also have mass in the sense that they can impart momentum to objects. They also have mass in the E = mc^2 sense. On the other hand, as carriers of the electromagnetic field, which has infinite range, they don't possess mass!
Did the name "Cuthbert" not appear before 1361, and then it spread along river valleys because its carriers were predominantly farmers (with occurrences of it popping up here and there because people were conscripted into armies/died out/whatever)?
Did the plague wipe out mainly those with surnames common to the Mediterranean region, because those people had less exposure to the rats, which carried the fleas, which were the main vectors?
Do "Smiths" follow the armies, or settle in the cities? Were Teutonic names more indicative of higher classes? Did northern European names cluster more with archers rather than cavalry?
I'm forseeing a lot of interesting temporal/spatial analysis which could be done with the data.
Back in college I was working the summer on a forest firefighting crew ("Hotshots") when one evening back at camp two guys got into an argument over whether Stihl or Husquvarna chainsaws were best. Punches were thrown and the two had to be wrestled apart.
That's what these L1 vs L2 vs Ln arguments all remind me of.
If you worked so much with chainsaws, why don't you write L1 vs L2 vs Log?

Sometimes spelling is that way, too.
Put your hand on a girls ass and the image of your hand stays for a bit.
It always does, if you do it hard enough.
Agreed. Smooth-scrolling feels mushy, like a 1977 Lincoln Continental.

I've never used it on Windows, though I see there's an installer for it. I use qucs on linux quite a lot, though.

Not since the 1890's has "venereal" been preferred over "Venusian". As it were.

So a combination lock is a computer? Perhaps so.
So, indeed, a keyed lock is a computer?
Come on now, this is Slashdot.... where posts about "I haven't paid for Windows ever even tho it's on 12 of my b0xen" normally gets modded up.

Look at it this way: at least in Kansas, there's no way an escaped pathogen could evolve!

M.e.h.
Including that one? *Head asplodes*
Hm. AOL?

AND they smelt of elderberries.
You can do statistics on the datasets...

What -- me worry?
Gavin Menzies described the method in his book about early Chinese exploration, 1421.
Ah, yes, because that's certainly a book I'd want to trust about, well, anything.
ah, times when i wish /. had an Edit Comment option. or something like google's goggles.
The goggles... they do NOTHING!
Actually, it's your spelling.
