Perhaps if your profession is marketing communications and public relations, then HTML looks more professional. If you do real work for a living, text/plain is as utilitarian and functional as it gets.
Placing style over substance is an all-to-common mistake, and has been for centuries.

Everyone who buys a new device will have to use the new version right away, sending last years models to an early obsolesence grave. Thus fragmenting the user base into more incompatible segments than there already are. Palm, on the other hand, has very good backwards compatibility in PalmOS (except for multimedia functions), unlike WinCE.
"... Military action was now seen as inevitable," the MI-6 chief said at the meeting, according to the memo. "Bush wanted to remove Saddam through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD," weapons of mass destruction.
The memo said "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."
anybody who gets any low- to mid-level job anywhere is going to be sitting in front of a Winbox and needs to know how to use it
Who doesn't have access to a Windows box? The consumer PC market is approaching 75% saturation as we speak, and 90% of those are Windows boxes.
Most of the Windows and office functionality can be learned with a variety of Linux distributions and OpenOffice -- and any of the many intro/"dummies" books that populate the shelves.
Do you know who the superintendent(s) of your local public school board are? Those are the people who are responsible for the continued economic vitality of your community, so if you don't know, find out today, and ask them to stop paying the Microsoft tax. Windows and Office are anachronisms, the rulers of the 80s and 90s, which have through base greed lost any claim to a place in today's classroom.
Do you have it within you to write a clear, three-paragraph letter to the chair of a school board today? Please prove it, by posting its text in reply to this comment.
The challenge is made; who among you are human enough to meet it?
I view the question of whether our internal pattern persists beyond physical death as equivalent to whether firing order and RPM persist beyond the dismantling of an engine. So how is it that you conceive of things that way?
As the car travels down the flat road, each combustion -- no, here I will go ZEV -- each turn of its electromagnetic motor makes a sound which radiates upward into the sky, and the windshield strikes the occasional raindrop falling down.
When the car gets to the end of the road, and the engine turns off, who can say that the universe has, along a right angle to customary time, a state where the engine is just about to be started, and will start again, but this time down a slightly different path?
The idea of persistance is subsumed within time -- how things were persists in the past, and how they will be persists in the future. If there is more than one timelike dimension, and signals which we are unable to percieve while we are still trapped in a body with an open, indeterminate future transit during successive increments of the second timelike dimention in which the first acts spacelike, then we might very well in that future ask if there is a third timelike dimension in which our bodies in fourspace might transcend into five spatial dimensions.
Is there a second timelike dimension? By definition, we can not know unless we experience it directly, and I'm not ready to close my spatiotemporal length quite just yet.
If you believe in an infinite universe in both time and space, then there is no reason to doubt that configurations similar to the state of the universe as it now exists, except for the slight movement of a single lepton, on up to a completely different set of galaxies, will occur an infinite number of times in the far distant future, so how in perception would that even be different than another timelike dimension? I don't think it would, and again, we can really never know if the universe is truly infinite, and even hints that it is finite could easily be purely illusory.
PICARD:... my and your existence goes beyond Euclidian and other "practical" measuring systems... and that, in ways we cannot yet fathom, our existence is part of a reality beyond what we understand now
Nice quote! But it overcomplicates things.
We perceive three spatial and one temporal dimension.
What if there were two temporal dimensions? We would still perceive just one, because our spatial configuration, including our neurophysical memory, can only have one past.
However, if there is more than one temporal dimension, then when we die, our consciousness may transcend from our three dimensional spatial configuration into the four dimensional body of our entire timeline from the beginning of consciousness as an infant to our last waking moment, because death closes that timeline in the geometrical sense, in that it is no longer an ill-defined boundary.
Can you imagine what it will be like to be a four dimensional being, a human body in width and a lifetime in length? I can only begin to do so. As we close in the first timelike dimension, it will become spacelike.
Wave mechanics are very different in even-numbered dimensions, so as we enter the second timelike dimension, we might not have sight across time, but only the perception of each moment at once. If we act to change anything, we might undo our death, extending our life and falling back into the first timelike dimension again, or we might simply move our timeline radically from the point of each action, from the chaotic disturbance of the first timelike dimension's state.
Frankly, I hope I can remember each time I ever had sex in full detail.
Microsoft hasn't exactly been rational about litigation in the past. Who knows what they will do?
The important thing is that they will probably not be able to get an injunction unless they have a clear-cut infringement case, and that's not at all likely for a set of open formats covering long-understood functionality.
Such is the wonder and mystery of Slashdot. Think about it. Would you really prefer another SCO/Groklaw rehash of someone's seeze in a Utah courtroom three days ago?
"Ineffective protection" is a viable defense against the DMCA's anti-copy protection provision. Since you can crack the PDF in question with a "Save As..." type.txt, the protection would certainly not be construed as "effective" by a jury.
Fortran 95's forall statment explicitly disallows side-effects (like incrementing a scalar), so it only has vector-processing style parallelism. Fortress, on the other hand, has no such restrictions and offers atomic memory operations, so incrementing a scalar inside a parallelized loop will accurately count the number of executions. I do not know if the where statement has the same kind of restrictions.
After having slept on it, I am much more interested in seeing how this aspect pans out.
I agree that Fortran 2K will be much more interesting, given the much easier backward-compatibility and thus huge number of proven and useful libraries available from the starting gate.
You think they had the detailed statistics on which kinds of IEDs and car bombs are hardest to detect and inflict the most damage? Why? In any case, they do now.
The enemy is either using a IED or a suicide bomb. Neither case has ANYTHING to do with an attempt to "avoid engagement"
Nonsense. The classified sections describe several means by which they might be successful in getting a car bomb through a checkpoint. That intelligence necessarily doesn't come back to the insurgency, because a car bom mission is either aborted, captured, or destroyed, leaving no opportunity for such recon. The details of how to appear nonmilitary and which kind of diversionary tactics have been working should not have even been in the classified portions of the report; it is entirely unrelated to the incident being investigated.
Sections II.C.2-4 and III.C-E are particularly harmful. The discussion of which forms of IEDs and VBIEDs are most difficult to detect, most effective, and most "devious" will serve to confirm and refine the most effective enemy tactics. The detailed discussion of Standard Operating Procedures invloving the conduct of inspections and troop approach conditions is devastating, as are the Rules of Engagement conditions and specifications, which will allow the enemy to avoid engagement with only trivial behavior and appearance changes.
I'm not entirely happy about some of the paragraphs left unclassified, either.
Yeah, someone will get seriously busted, and then the exact same thing will happen in another five months.
This time was really bad, though, several vital tactical details were exposed, which put hundreds of servicemen and women's lives at serious risk. That's new.
No, you don't. At best you log the remote IP address and the quantity of traffic, unless everone is required use your special-built spybrowser.
Face it, people who https://squirrelmail.obscurehost/ can upload attachments to their heart's content and you'll never know what's in them. They can also use any other upload form on the web (yahoo groups has them for group file areas, also work with https) to snarf a zipfile full of whatever secret stuff they want. There's no way to easily log that, and if you log it the hard way, you're going to have a hard time finding the culprits. If they use halfway decent steganography, you won't be able to find the secret source code or whatever inside the lengthy JPEG uploads of the latest corporate "product photos" even if they didn't use https and you looked. And good luck taking action without a preponderance of the evidence.
Plus, all the geeky engineers have USB drives on their keychains.
You're only stopping the casual nontechie espionage, but perhaps that alone is worth it. Don't tell your Sarbanes-Oxley signatories that you have everything covered, though, because you don't, and they could be personally liable if they believe that.
Perhaps if you'd let go of that woman you're dragging around by the hair over which all the other cavemen are clubbing you in the head, you might recognize the inherent simplicity and power of the eleven rules of Tcl syntax.
Hard and soft quoting exists in lisp as well, with the choice of apostrophe or backquote.
You should never actually need to use uplevel, but it will allow you to do almost anything you could want to do with a lisp macro. Frankly, I've never met a macro of more than a couple or three lines that I didn't hate, because of the fact that they make understanding the code using more dificult than outrunning a woolly mammoth in heat.

Your attempt to place humanitarian ideals in opposition to your concept of Christianity exposes the true nature of your faith.
