You must use Office for things you could accomplish in Wordpad.
I can't count how many times Word has changed the fonts, bulleting, indentation, line spacing, pagination, printer tray, etc. on its own, and created files that it cannot itself read later. It's a huge piece of crap. Buggy as hell.
What happened to the type of person who would pledge his life, fortune and sacred honor to defending the principles of freedom? Why don't any of them run for office anymore?
Hey moron, call up the various government offices and demand, as the boss, that they stop this madness.
Good luck, drop me a line when you succeed.
I may be "part of the government" and "one of its bosses," but see if my individual voting brings the government back in line with the Constitution nd the principles the nation was founded on (NOT the Bible, BTW).
For those of you who have not read it or do not remember, it is set in Future America where the "firemen" destroy books and control access to information. How did it get to be that way? Bit by bit -- incremental removal of information that offends some minority, is "dangerous," etc. Posessing and/or distributing proscribed information meant that you were an enemy of the state.
The U.S. remains a powerful, but insular, nation in this future. And it has plenty of enemies. The government is apparently making war -- on who, and why, people don't know. But citizens are drafted to fight in it.
It's not clear that the U.S. wins the war.
Everyone should read FH451. The author's not in the back was very interesting as well, talking about censorship of his works, FH451 even, by publishers. Including in textbooks which include his works.
His book, and afternote, reminded me of the "DVD censorship" software/. mentioned recently. On CNN a few days ago I saw that a group of biblethumpers had planned to burn six copies of Harry Potter because it mentions witchcraft. The local (Texas) law officials denied them the request, so they had to make do with shredding the books publically. I wish I had been there -- I would have started tossing bibles in the fire, or shredder, to make a point.
Everyone please go read FH451, the Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence. Read a little Medieval history; the Church (the also the state) caused the Dark Ages! It burned books, burned heretics, and controlled information. Irish heretics preserved the old works, which allowed the Renaissance and Enlightenment to happen. Not coincidentally, the power and influence of the Church dropped and Western Civilization was reborn and the enlightenment and science progressed.
The authors and backers of the DMCA, SSSCA, and similar laws, and the "copyright holders" who wish to further erode the Public Domain, are of a kindred spirit with the Firemen in Farenheit 451 -- limit information, but include lots of commercials! Be a good little citizen.
I see your point; in practical terms, that is a kind of declaration of war, even though i doesn't come out and say something like, "The USA Declares a State of War with X."

Office always worked right.

Please, no! Exchange is a huge piece of shit. We don't need to encourage its use.
Um, no.
.edb files that MSFT says are Jet databases, then?
So just what are those
Yeah, we know. You tried Access 1.0 It was icky. Run away and hide! Run away and hide!
Your snide answer aside, all the other versions suck, too -- especially for use as an "enterprise message store."
One day, Linux will have ACLs. Until then, forget it.
With Exchange all the email in a database file
An ACCESS (Jet) database.
Shudder.
That made sense. You obviously wandered onto the wrong message board.
Cross-clone humans with octopii, what do you get?
Hilary Rosen!
Various views exist for what generation means.
It could refer to a type of raisin pudding. We just don't know. But with rationalization, all things are possible.
Pshaw. I'll bet animals think *we* are gods, if they think at all.
Of course, when you live in the US, where your wireless services are about eight years behind the curve, this is less of an issue.
Security through Inertia. Hmm...
I'm thinking that their "better webserver" isn't so hot, considering the "connection refused" messages I'm getting.
Tortoise is a wonderful Windows Explorer plugin that gives you access to CVS fucntionality from regular old Explorer windows.
I don't use WinCVS (except as a library) anymore, because Tortoise is so much easier!
Yeah, freedom is not nearly as important as children.
Not.
What the world needs now is a virus that exploits the Magic Lantern blind eye and erases the WPA database.
Tasty.

It would be funny if SirCam, etc. were all FEDGOV things.
Hmmm. On second thought, it wouldn't actually be funny.
Silly AC. Laws aren't for the government!
p.s. remember those Second Amendment rights and why you have them!
I wonder what IP address ZoneAlarm will be complaining about with my Outlook lusers catch FBI.keylogger.666
you're going to say something, tell the truth, otherwise say nothing, if it's none of my business.
There are cases where a lie is better than saying nothing or telling 'the truth'. It is okay, for instance, to lie to an attacker.
Well, shit, you're right.
I'll put my rights in a #10 envelope and send them right off to Ashcroft.
I'm so much happier now! That Guy Montag is an asshole. I'm glad they got him.
I suppose it's okay for 5,000 people to die so some asshole like you can have access to information you don't need.
Yes. Yes, it is.

I just finished reading Farenheit 451 again.
