Honestly, I've been trying OpenOffice on the PC, and I dislike it. I've reverted to Office 2000. OpenOffice is too slow and clunky. Office 2000 just does what I need it to, though Impress has a couple of nice features Office 2000 doesn't, the templating/formatting in Office is better. And no, I don't preload Office, and its still way faster.
May you have to be rich and bribe someone at Alienware for good support, because I've had the WORST customer service experiences of my life with Alienware, and many other posts here bear that out.
To ban people like this from all games. Commit a "crime" and don't ever play these things again, or at least for some specified period of time. Yes, I know the technical difficulties are tremendous, as are legal, but it might deter some of it.
And I don't think this guy should be prosecuted, though he's icky. I just don't see the basis. It's entirely possible this will get thrown out.
I'd start with Java, using Head First Java from O'Reilly. It has the cross-platform advantage, as well as being fairly simple to use, and if you're using a development environment like Netbeans, you have the advantages of drag and drop guis. One of the biggest hurdles, I think, for people to get over is not seeing anything working. With Java, it's fairly simple to get a program that does something concrete and visible. It also has the advantage of being "real world" in that lots of people are using it.
I originally went to college from 87-92. For those of you too young to remember, no one had laptops in the classroom at the time.
I started a new grad program last year. Most of us have laptops. However, I still have the habits from college. I look at the prof when they speak. Everyone else is off checking email or IMing with people, and I do some of that, but I like to pay attention, or at least look like it. Consequently, all my profs think I'm hyper attentive and engaged. I got offerred a TA position on pretty much that alone.
I know this argument, and I understand it. When someone is raped, it usually is the beginning of a long nightmare. On the other hand, the flip side of the argument is that any survivor of sexual assault is better off dead, which I think no feminist worth their salt would agree with. And it doesn't give much credit to the survivors. I know, often it feels like one would be better off, but life is still worth living.
I'll second what someone else said, mob thugs aren't necessarily better at crime, they just have more infrastructure.
And I'll add, maybe they were trying to send a message. Ironic, I know, but trying to scare anyone else who cheated them, for instance?
"While no figures are available on the ranks of those jettisoning their PC's" What this means is that they talked to a couple of their friends who threw out their machines and decided to generalize a trend from it.
Are these classifications really relevant to this species? I'm always amused by the need of scientists to classify species as male and female. Like the Sea Horse, where the "male" gets pregnant. How meaningful is that?
In the U.S., at least, age of consent is different in different states, but it is generally between 16 and 18. Often there is a rule that you have to be within x number of years, where x might be 3 for instance. But that varies state by state, and may change over time. The principle of statutory rape is the idea that someone under a certain age is not legally capable of consent, even if they think they are, and particularly people significantly older than them can exert a strong power of coersion through authority. This is distinguished from rape where consent isn't given.
In the past, when sodomy was illegal in many states, and this was enforced, Gay men particularly were arrested for this, often after "tips" by neighbors.
Sex offenders are those who have committed sexually based offenses (think Law and Order SVU), such as rape, child molestation, statutory rape, etc. Unfortunately, some people in the registries are there for things like sodomy between consenting adults, or urinating in public. So the registry is probably too broad. On the other hand, this is only those convicted of a crime, not all sex offenders.
I believe the dataset used on the site is incomplete. There are 599 registered sex offenders in D.C. right now. D.C. Sex Offender Registry
Also, African Americans in D.C. are disproportionately poorer than Whites in D.C., which makes them more likely to be prosecuted, and less likely to get effective legal counsel that would allow them to avoid the registry.
If you're trying to imply something else, come out and say it.
There are a few problems with sex offender registries.
1) The most important problem is that they give a false sense of security. It is far more likely that a perpatrator of sexual assault will be someone known to the victim. For children this usually means parents or trusted adults. Furthermore, most offenses are never reported, so there are a large number of offenders out there who never make it into a registry.
2) There isn't enough staffing power to check up on sex offenders. Often, they will simply move without telling anyone and for all intents and purposes vanish.
3) Often they are too broad. Does it help to know that in your neighborhood there lives a man who was convicted of consensual sex with another adult man? Or as another poster noted someone who urinated in public?
I am unconcerned that sex offenders have lost their rights. Until effective treatment is made, truely effective, I'd personally say lock them up. We could even keep them comfortable, at least after their harsh sentance is fullfilled. But keep them away from everyone else. It won't solve the problem, but it'll help.
It's Washington D.C., the city is 60.01% African American, and 32.78% White. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C. If the demographics were switched you'd have mostly White offenders.
Once MythTV is stable, I'll probably put the VCR in the garage. Until then, the VCR is easier to configure and more reliable. Yes, I know MythTV is great and I'm working on getting it more stable.
I thought it was a standard, just that Adobe dominates the market. There are certainly other non-Adobe products that support pdf creation, such as PDFCreator, and Apache's Formatting Objects Processor

The Iraqi people do not hate us, and if they did, it's because the same media that's telling us they hate us is giving them unfounded reasons to hate us.
So, how do you know tha they don't hate us? Did you put in your own poll? Conduct interviews with lots of people? Choose the ideological media, like Fox News, which we know is oh so trustworthy? Or did you just make it up? Seriously, I want to know how people who assert this, and ironically you see them all over the media, how do they know this?
And for your second point, if you're referring to the Newsweek article, that was tragic, and Newsweek should be truly ashamed, if they're not just withdrawing it because they felt pressured to do so. But come on, a minimum of 21,000 Iraqi casualties from the U.S. invasion and occupation? That's not enough to make people hate us?

99% of TV is crap, and always has been. The only reason SciFi gets this special treatment from us is because this is a nerd forum.
And now it's gone. Did you kill his site? Or did he quickly pull it down?

They never do these test market things in my neighborhood. Probably because its not high income enough.

It's fun, isn't it, to hate a bunch of people without really knowing why? Wait, it turns out they have better weather than you, there's a reason!

Actually, it has a major redeeming value. It gives us a place to live away from envious losers.
