If someone jumps on your posts to say mean things about you or your ideas, they are flaming or maybe trolling. If they travel to a conference to flame you in person, that's stalking. Have fun Taco.
rtf is a transportable format supported well by Word as well as various word processors that compete with Word. You don't get to take advantage of change-tracking, but most students never use that anyway. Really, there is no problem importing non-MS docs into MS apps.
This troll floats effortly from science to religion to ethics and the law. I can't remember the last time I saw someone criticised as a heritic (gnostic here). There is no story behind the troll.
The three mad-scientist-wannabees also use macs, many of them with large flat panel displays. Willow just uses an icebook. So on Buffy, even the bad guys use macs.
Oh, and Giles is on Angel now? I'll have to watch sometime.
Not certain which finicky OS is giving you trouble here. In Mac OXS, I've observed that it can take a while to shut-down from the GUI. But sudo shutdown -h now works fast every time.

The burden of proof in the credit card dispute system is on the merchant, not the cardholder. In fact, it can often be unfair to the merchant, but that's another story. BOFA really messed this one up and you should cancel your BOFA accounts and let them know why.
You are probably posting AC because you are joking and you don't want us to bug you about this, but we don't want to confuse anyone. Heat is never converted to electricity. Temperature differentials are.
So many mean lies getting woven into cultural identities these days, I have a myopic focus on today's lie. The Saudi professor was certainly slandering over purim, not passover. Really, the old story was about matzah? You just need to look at the things.
It's Purim cakes, not matzo bread that is claimed to be made with gentile blood. Purim is just before Passover (and the matzo). Of course, neither is made with any blood at all. This is such a wild story. An observant Jew will not eat a meal cooked by a gentile, let alone one cooked out of a gentile.
"professional" is a latinate word that English gets from French. There is probably a similar word in Romanian, Italian,... Since there are as many speakers of romance languages as English, that should make the premium value of a.pro address over a.com addredd twice as much. Of course, twice nothing is still nothing. I'm sure that market forces should (mostly, eventually) manage this attempt to exploit a monopoly.
Laissex faire, laissez passer.
Hard_Code - I apologise if I have just missed a display of sarcasm. But I just don't understand your claim. What is the scientifically (?scienticly?) substantiated analog of chi? Also, if you do call atoms "magic gnomes" you speculate for them biological attributes (thought, cute little hats) that you can't support with experiments. Similarly, if you call planets "big cookies" you are attributing to them qualities that can't be supported. It's better to stick to plainer theories.
Great point.
I just wanted to take time out for my favorite explaination for the blue sky, that the sky is blue because it reflects the blue in the water.
The perswarehouse site still notes its Gomez certification. However, as of March 31, of this year, Gomez has figured out that it does not know how to or can't afford to certify merchants. As of April 1, Petswarehouse is using the Gomez trademark without permission. LOL. See Gomez note here

ISP's should not distribute software. Windows machines, Macs, and linux distros come with OK tools for making connections. Better than anything you would expect an ISP to come up with. ISP's should simply resolve password issues, ping people who can't tell if they are connected or not, and inform customers of required configurations (mail protocals, server id's).
My wife and I just wend throught the @home -> cox conversion. I ran the Cox conversion software. She did nothing, and continued to run 0% Cox (or @home) supplied software. Who do you think had a trouble free transition?
A really good point is made here that a survey that asks people about their feelings about their skills is much different than one that measures same. A true dunderhead never has a lack of confidence in any topic. Thoughtful people can be painfully aware of their lack of knowledge in areas of study related to their own. This is a way too common mistake in this type of survey.
ISO dates are written like other quantities, with the most significant digits to the left. So April 9th, 2002 becomes 2002-04-09. Note the 04 and 09, ISO dates are fixed length. This makes arithmetic easy and also ensures that alpha sorts are date sorts. This really is the most natural and user-friendly date-format. For more info, you can see

A standard listing of the species in genus canis, eg:http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/chordata/ mammalia/carnivora/canidae.html
shows coyote, dog, red wolf, grey wolf,... A lot of species that interbreed. Coyote and wolf interbreeding is not uncommon, and dog-wolf breedings are simple although the product can be dangerous to humans.
Generally, Bill Jones' core support comes from people who don't have email accounts. Sending emails to Californians, Canadians, or whatever wont make a difference. The on-line crowd is going to either support another party, or one of the other two guys in the primary. Simon is the "business guy" who will appeal to that crowd. Riordan is the "can win democratic votes" guy who will appeal to those Republicans who do not want to see the Democrats keep the govenorship, and Jones is part of the out-of-touch crowd who crashed the Republican party into the iceberg of prop 187.
I decided to stop waiting for Sun to make a keyboard that has a functioning forward delete key, and stopped using emacs. The problem here is with emacs making you use the cntrl key all the time. Just don't use it. I suggest nedit as it has language modes and other features that emacs users love. At the same time, it does not require so much hitting the ctrl key. Just for openers
emacs nedit
cntrl-d delete-key
cntrl-e end-key
This is a bad quote.
"You know what they say about people who become statisticians? They lacked the personality to become accountants."
People say that about actuaries, not statisticians. I wont say if I agree or not. About statisticians people say that we play fast and loose with the truth. Unfair, but its what they say.
If Devra Davis can't keep geek zoology straight...
Poemo makes a good point that Americans need to understand best other countries where US or citizen action could bring the most good or harm. So we need to understand Slovenia, why we have troops there, and which way their guns need to point. I disagree that Canadians do not need to understand as well, because every individual Canadian can have as much influence on the world as someone from the US. But what, really, does someone from the US need to underatand about Canada?
1 - We never fight wars against Canada;
2 - We have law enforcement cooperation with Canada;
3 - We have free trade with Canada;
4 - Canadians consider themselves better educated than us when they are not.
Once in a while, Canada will tackle an issue (Hing Kong immigration, health care) in a different way and Americans can learn from Canada's experience. But in general, detailed knowledge of Canada is useless trivia to someone from California.
Americans can read maps fine, and can locate Australia. Sure, Americans don't follow the news from Australia with the same intensity as Australians follow news from the US. But the US is 10X the population/wealth/news-worthiness of AUS. How well do people from AUS follow the news from countries of similar population/wealth/news-worthiness that are on the other side of the globe? Can you name any political figures in the Ukraine? Are you up on the seperatist movement on Faroe Island? Can you name a city in Slovenia?
This is one American who thinks that people from small countries who expect Americans to understand their small country as well as they understand the US are dopes.
