My wife is going to Wazzu (WSU). She uses, Word, Excel, PowerPoint... all the time. I ask her if she can use Linux and/or OO but she says they only support Windows & MS Office. I know OO has just about everything MS office has (PP?) but it's hard enough learning all there is to know about the MS products. Trying to learn all the little (and maybe big) differences with OO would be all the harder. I don't know how well continually switching between the 2 on a given project would work? I don't need to give her MORE to complain about:)
I wonder how the release of Firefox 2.0 and IE 7 later this month will change the game?
I think FF2 won't make much of a difference to the "average" user, with a lot FF 2's new features being pulled it is not so different from 1.5. IE 7 is quite different from IE6 but I don't think it will help market share. When IE7 is released it will spur at least some users to try different options. IE7 will not likely pull many(any) users from FireFox but if they don't immediately like IE7's new layout they may look for other alternatives.
I personally don't like the way the tabs are set up in IE7 and don't like the limited ability to rearrange the toolbar.

1st let me say I fully believe in the scientific method, and am not tainted by any religious agenda. String theory always has seemed so wild with very little if any evidence to point to it as... anything, I guess. It seems like something some pulled out of there ass one day ran with, gathering a large following along the way. Granted it seems to fit into the current understanding of the Universe (or at least solve a number of questions) but you might be able to make a compelling argument for "Rubber Chicken theory" also.
My knowledge of string theory is limited to the few Nova & Discovery chan programs I have watch on it (also I like to think I have scientific mind). But I have never bought the example that is commonly used to explain the extra dimensions needed for string theory(11 total). Usually it is explained that an ant crawling on a line that we perceive as 1 dimensional with no height or width (only length) actually has extra dimensions only the ant can see/utilize because the ant is so small. It doesn't matter how small you are, a 1 dimensional line is still 1 dimensional.

Before anyone else makes fun of the typo, I ment Soldiers! Damn I wish /. had an edit option.
It's nice to know that as our solders are dieing from IED's due to lack of armour on the Humvee's, at least the iPod's will survive.
(for the record, we shouldn't be there at all)
