Well, yes...
The first result is to "The LaTeX Home Page". 9 of the first 10 links are related to the typesetting software, the 10th is a link to an article on wikipedia.
Very disapointing:)

The Rion-Antirion bridge is not a suspension bridge.
A suspension bridge has 2 main cables, beneath which the bridge is suspended by lots of smaller cables. The bridge you mention has all cables connected to the top of the towers: it's a cable-stayed bridge. See this page for different types of bridges.
"Every month since June, the number of Iraqis and American Troops who have died has increased"
It would be weird if the number of dead would have decreased, unless the US army is experimenting with zombies of course.
A question :
Are the traditional touch-typing courses helping programmers?
I feel the typing lessons in schools are generaly oriented toward typing texts (A-Za-z.?!,;)
So if someone grew up with a computer, using it to program in BASIC,pascal,C,C++,... whatever, would that person get a speed increase by learning traditional touch typing skills?
I've used computers for more than half my life, and I type with about seven or eight fingers. I've never had typing classes in school, so it's all self-learned. Once in a while I tested typing-teaching-programs, but they never seemed to offer me big improvements.
I understand that these techniques are important and usefull to people typing text, but how useful are they to self-learned programmers?
Are any of the general touch-typing courses going to learn you how to type & , -> , main(int argc, char *argv[]), foo.bar,... any faster?
I have tried some of the online available touch typing learning programs, but the lessons learned always seem to lose their value when coding.
Does anyone have better experience with this, or pointers to typing_lessons_for_coders ?
You'd be suprised how easy it is to get used to new values. It's been only a few years since we switched from our national currencies to the Euro, and already I hardly ever convert a price back to my former currency (Belgian francs). In the beginning it took a bit getting used to, and the first few months everybody was constantly converting to old currencies, but since all prices are now in Euro, you get used to it very fast.
Indeed, bombing other people into the stone age seems to be the US solution to every problem (Iraq, Kosovo, Afganistan,...)
When is the US itself going to become civilized?

I didn't RTFA, but the announcement says for private use only. Don't ask me how that relates to their employees though.
The typo actually makes sense. A computer is math: it does nothing but add/subtract/or/and bits.
Iraq is on place 148, while being ruled by the Americans. Is that the kind of freedom they get in the "new Iraq".
At least Saddam managed to keep Iraq free of muslim extremists, something the US is failing completely.

Yes, those screenshots are really helpful.
Which is different of being opposed to the occupation of Palestine by Israel. Not agreeing with Israeli policy does not make you anti-semitic.
You think using hair dryers in the shower is a good thing ???
