The ability to search PDF's seems like it could be useful if it is actually searching inside the PDF. I haven't actually seen another Windows based tool do that, so for me this could make Google Desktop more than the "toy" it is (for me) at the moment (It doesn't do anything a structured file system cannot).
You can also use Acrobat's native find feature. In Acrobat 6 and 7 you click Search button, and select "All PDF documents in:" and select the folder to search (you can select your whole drive if you want).
It is not optimized, as it doesn't have an index, but you can search for a phrase inside your PDFs.
Does the Windows version of Word have Notebook view yet?
You can do it, but with another product of the Office suite - OneNote.
OneNote has appeared for Windows in the Office 2003 suite, so before Mac Office 2004.
In fact OneNote is a great product, except for a brain-dead omission of the search-and-replace feature. I have never seen a text-editing product without such feature. Hell, even edlin can do the replace.
You can also take a shorter trip to say Switzerland, where VAT is just 7.6%. Makes quite a difference.
Now, I don't know where the billateral agreements between Belgium and Switzerland are for the moment, but you might even get the return of the VAT when leaving.CH.
And I swear I've seen components cheaper at retail stores in Switzerland then the wholesale price, without tax, I was getting in France.
But different keyboards are better for different things. I have a Swiss French keyboard (QWERTZ layout), and it sucks for any programming. The fact that I have to press AltGr to get some characters as [, ], {, } and # is not acceptable for any programming in C.
Fortunately, I grew up on the US keyboard, and now I use this mapping as I touch type. When I have to write a letter or a document in French or German I switch the layout and get the full glory of the accents and umlauts, but then I hunt-and-peck.
Pray tell, since you are so vocal against my posts, why do you think I don't know what a natural catastrophy feels like? Are you some sort of specialist on cocotoni now? You know for sure that I haven't been through a tornado, earthquake, tsunami or flood?
So get off your high horse unless you really think that the plight of this ONE man somehow trumps the tragedy of the millions.
These reports are not limited to Sweden. They are present everywhere. I too have a friend that left for Sri Lanka just 5 days ago for a wedding of a friend. I don't know what happened to him. I hope he is safe.
You will notice that in my previous post I did mention the people that lost their loved ones. That was a part of the list of people I mentioned:
Sorry to disagree with you, but worst hit would be the natives that will stay there to face all the conseqences of the disaster, people that have lost everything they had,
people that have lost their loved ones.
What irked me was this ONE man (you can probably see him in the report on Euronews if you have it available in Sweden) that was complaining about his lost belongings. This is the "little man" I was talking about.
And in proportion, even 20,000 Swedes or 10,000 British or 10,000 Germans that were in the region (and by reports about 10% of those are not yet reached), even though tragic stories, are puny to millions of natives present, tens of thousands killed, million displaced, whole nation of Maldives sweapt, risk of desease for numerous natives that will remain there, and the whole livelyhood of people, the whole economies destroyed in matter of minutes.
The tourists will be found, evacuated to their home countries, and by next Christmas forget about the whole thing. But people will stay there to cope with the devastation and try to rebuild their lives in the years to come.
And I commend Sweden for the prompt and heavy donation to the relief funds. Unfortunately, some countries with similar numbers of their nationals involved, but with much greater interest in the region than Sweden (and I am not talking about US) have yet to measure.
Sorry to disagree with you, but worst hit would be the natives that will stay there to face all the conseqences of the disaster, people that have lost everything they had, people that have lost their loved ones.
Sorry, but I got really pissed today watching the news and seeing a tourist comming back from Phuket complaining that they (he and his wife) lost everything they took on their holidays. What have you lost, little men? Two suitcases of clothes and a digital camera??? Look around you, little men, and see all those people that had little and now have nothing, look at the corpses floating and mothers mourning for their children. Then go on complaining about your digital camera little men. I won't cry for you.
Sorry to disagree with you, but there is a place for this kind of maths. Problem is that it is not applied correctly. Problem is that you have a standardized multiple choice quiz with 12*48 = a) -34 b) 576 c) 3.14 d) sheep
The fact that you can answer b) by applying that 12*48 ~ 10*50 puts you a point ahead of an amoebe regarding maths. And will not help you if the answers were 572, 576, 574 (and if you answered 575 you have to check how pair*pair gives an odd).
But I was tutoring EE, and was amazed at the fact that people cannot use the same reasoning when they are not given multiple choices. They would tote their calculators, and drag the constant through the equation (even if it cancels out later, and even if, for all engineering purposes it can be approximated like g=10m/s^2), and in the end arrive at the conclusion that the voltage between two points in a simple schema is 12.11V. Completely failing to understand the point that if the batery is 12V NO voltage in the schema can be grater than that. Simple approximated calculation would give them a ballpark estimate of 12V, which would be more correct. Or, what I hate even more, when they don't understand that EE deals with physical elements, with their own abberations and limitations (yes, your TI-89 shows that the voltage on that diode is 3000V, but it is long gone in the puff of blue smoke before it reaches that level).
Well, that's my pet peeve - people not using common sense.
(And for nit pickers - yes, voltage can be greater than Vcc if there is an active element, or an element with stored energy like capacitor; but that was not the case with simple Kirchhoff law problems I was trying to explain)
Open sourced Solaris might surpass Linux if and only if Sun released it under license that would allow me to make a Solaris distro, name it Slowaris, and still get away with it.

Why because this is not Swiss post proposing a worldwide TLD.post. It's the UPU - Universal Postal Union that is just located in Bern, which also happens to be in Switzerland.
This is as if you said that US is oposing the war in Iraq, because UN, located in New York, US, is oposing it.
UPU is an international organization that coordinates the work between posts. They, for example, govern the compensation between post organizations when sending international mail (did you know that the postage is originally intended for the post organization actually delivering the mail, not the one accepting it?)
Well, IWAEE (I WAS an eletrical engineer), and I seem to remember that in the battle between AC and DC (between Tesla and Edison) for the power generators AC won not by being more efficient to produce, but by being more efficient to transport.
The DC generators do exist. Edison was proposing them, but the problem was that the losses in the Cu were forcing you to have the devices using the current close to the generator. Tesla solved that problem with AC. The existing DC generators could not be converted to AC (you cannot make a nice sine from a DC current of that power), so there you got AC generators.
Since most of the power generation happens far from the user, most of the power is generated by AC generators. However, if the distance is not the limit (as in cars, or here where you would power a laptop or some such) DC generators are an option.
However, you were correct about the efficiency of the small vs. large turbines.
Also, and a lot of people don't know this, you can install Terminal services manager on a XP machine (from WS2003 resource kit), and connect to the machine you want to shadow.
Then you can remote control even the console session. Work's great for helping people out, if you don't need the hassle of remote assistance.
But you will notice that goalies do have a different couloured uniform, usually a bright orange, silvery gray, off white, etc. That is to make the goalie stand out of the surounding hues, and (in theory) make the striker aim the goalie when shooting a penalty shot.
In handball where the chances of blocking a penalty are even smaller, you can see this technique more clearly used.
I sincerely appologize for my lack of math skills today. On any other day I would see the falacy of my post, but it seems that today I have underclocked my brain to 1/60Hz.
Apart from human pulse being more in tune of 1/60Hz, the idea that 60Hz is something dangerous to health would force us to scrap a good part of current AC systems.

Here is your plugin for searching OO.o documents.

Neither IE nor Mozilla have produced something completely new for a while... But adhering to standards would be a step in the right direction.

And IIRC the most blatant was in the Windows 2003 SBS that had an expiry date built in (for the beta) that they did not remove in the Gold version.
That is a realy sad Mac notebook.

Not to be a nazi, but HIV is Human immunodeficiency virus. Therefore "HIV viruses" is something like FAT table, or LED diode.
And that's without going into viruses/virii debate. (viruses is correct)
