Well, the above story was "my story"... Every word of it. Worked just fine. Been married to her since June 2005. I know it isn't all that long, but for now it works.
That said, the American women I have talked to tend to get wet only by the idea of a big rock. Personally, I find them bland and uninteresting (the diamond-only rings, can't be sure about American women *grin*) Actually, the "together shopping for a ring" was perhaps as romantic as it comes. It really is fun.
So, perhaps, do take my story with a grain of salt. I'm European, she's European. My way will probably not work in the US. I hope it does, though...
you wouldn't (no matter what Adobe thinks) build an enterprise application with Flash.
You might not have heard of Flex and Air. I'm not a big Adobe fan, but that stuff is much more programmer oriented and scalable than anything done with Flash before.
Is he really stepping down? The link in the article asks me to install Silverlight and I can't read it as such.... The other links don't say anything like it. (My mistake: this one does) A Google search yields this, though.
Anyway, if I'd been him, I'd have retired years ago;-)
The correct way to ask a woman is not on your knees holding a diamond ring. The correct way is too drink too much, ask her if you should ask. Then she says: Try it.... Then you do, she says "yes" and the next day you wake up with a heck of a hangover and you're engaged (At least you vaguely remember it, depending on the amount of drinks.)
Then you go shopping together for the engagement ring, and she'll probably choose something way less expensive than what you would have chosen. (Minde didn't get a diamond: a nice white pearl/white gold ring... very beautiful and not that expensive)
Well, okay, forget the part about drinking, but just asking without anything to back it up and then shop together for the ring is much nicer.
I don't think that's what he means. I just checked the "Reveal Formatting" thing in Word 2003. It's nothing like the Alt-F4 from the WP days. What he longs for (and I long for ever since my WP 5.1 days) is a screen that pretty much shows you the formatting in an html-like syntax. That was very useful.
If you set the printer to any Postscript printer, for example the "HP Color Laser 8500 PS" which is included in the default Windows XP installation, then you get PostScript. End of story. If you set the printer port to "file", then you simply get a PostScript file. Tadaa! If you have the PostScript all bets are of and technically it's human readable.
Add in "GhostScript" and "redmon" into the mix and you're unstoppable.

Frankly, that solution didn't even occur to me. Would it work? I don't know. Clever idea, nevertheless. Try it out if you have a.ra file lying around. I most certainly do not have one.
However, many people don't even know how youtube works either. An acquaintance of my wife tried to send a huge movie for New Years wishes by email. Not surprisingly it bounced and by accident she got me on the phone and I tried to explain that huge attachemts aren't a good idea and that she should just put it on youtube. I even was willing to walk her through the process by phone. She didn't want to.
Helping other people? Downloading stuff they need, putting it on a USB stick, and installing it at their place. I remember doing that for SP2 for people still on dial-up.

avi is a container format. It can contain pretty much anything, including Theora. For the moment, I recommend encoding in H264 and you can put it in an avi container. Not a problem at all.
Getting a decoder for that is pretty much painless...

I didn't ask what the context was. I had not much other choice than to point her to RealPlayer (which worked). I would have pointed her to Real Alternative, but I didn't know of such a program for Mac OS X. (VideoLAN seemed not to have a implementation yet either)

Any user of any Microsoft product is well aware of how difficult it is to work in and out of various new vs. old formats.
You'd think that, wouldn't you? Actually, my experience is that users are blissfully ignorant about document incompatibilities caused by any software (not particular to Microsoft). Today, I received an email from a friend of mine asking how she could open a.rm file on her Apple. I was more surprised that some people still use that format. However, it was required listening (viewing?) for one of her courses.
In this case I fault the professor of that course, but how many times do you get people that say it's your fault when you can't open a document they said. After all, it works on their machines.
I don't think I've ever heard of anyone being escorted out by the security guard
I know of exactly one in my 10 years in the workforce. That wasn't even long ago, and it wasn't a security guard but her direct superior. This was mainly because she had access to very sensitive data about the company. The worst part was that it wasn't because she did a bad job, but because the company lost a contract and needed to lay off about 100 people. Very sad. That woman had been here for over 12 years.
This was in Luxembourg, Europe. So, it does happen, but is extremely rare.
It is? Rape psychologically destroys the victim for the rest of his/her life. Odd are they can never had a meaningful relationship anymore, and will suffer from depression, etc.... At least a murder victim is spared from that. Personally, I see the rapist-murderer combination as morally "higher" than the plain "rapist", because at least the rapist-murderer was humane enough to end the suffering of his victim.
And then why is it okay for a 45 year old man to marry a 35 year old woman?
10 years sound like a lot. However, think about it: my wife is five years younger than me. Many see that as a very normal age difference. However, put that back to when I was 18. She was 13 for crying out loud! I must be a child molester. Of course, it does help that I only met her when I was 28;-)

No chance in hell... I have my own account and she doesn't know the password. Unless I get caught red-handed, she won't know.
