    I've had this happen too. My solution is to open the MS Word doc file in Open Office, save the doc in OO format, Close OO then reopen in a new instance of OO and save again in .doc format. In every case the problems that crashed MS Word (and Adobe InDesign) went away.

  9. Auto vs train on Your Commuting Costs By Car Vs. Train? · · Score: 1

    I live 35 miles outside Boston. I have 2 choices:

    1. Commuter rail - very limited schedule and a $14 round trip cost plus the cost of the subway to wherever I'm going - $4.00 round trip on the T - I don't have to park - I can walk to the station as its 1/2 mile down the road. So the minimum cost of using Commuter Rail is $18 a day.

    2. My car gets 23 mpg and gas costs $2.09 - a 70 mile round trip costs me $6.36 in gas. parking is either free or $7/day at the MBTA garage (Higher if I park in town). Alternatively the IRS allows $.58 a mile - if that's reasonable then my 70 mile round trip costs $40 plus parking ($7). My reality is that my car costs me about $25 a day (payments, insurance, chronic fixes [I have a Saab]) plus gas so driving to Boston by car costs:

    a. $47 according to the IRS
    b. $38 ($25 + $6.36 (gas) + $7 parking)

    I still drive because all I really get to see is the cost of gas and parking (less than commuter rail and far more convenient) - the rest is fixed overhead that I'd spend anyway. I'd still prefer to use the train if it ran more frequently. On Saturdays there are only 2 trains each way. If I miss the last one I'm SH*T out of luck.

    Actually Xenix was a Microsoft product marketed by SCO which Microsoft founded to sell their version of Unix to businesses. Bill sold his interest in SCO when NT came out. Until then all/most/some Microsoft products were actually developed under Xenix.

    The money they are handing out is fiat money, fresh off the printing press. As long as the velocity of money (the rate we spend our income) is low and falling adding money doesn't cause inflation. As soon as the economy kicks in again we'll have lots of inflation that we'll "pay" off out debts with inflated dollars. Everyone will be happy except rich people.
