In OpenOffice, I tried to create a simple numbered list, where I stop the list but then continue it at a later point in the document, but I couldn't figure it out.
I just opened up OpenOffice and did it without even thinking.
I made a numbered list. I put an empty entry in the middle where I wanted the list to seperate. I backspaced over that number. I hit return a couple of times, to seperate the two halves of the list.
I even tested adding entries to the first half of the list and guess what? It worked just fine. I'm sure that there are probably better ways to do this, but that was the first thing I thought of.
Meanwhile I can remember about a half dozen odd bugs/quirks in MSOffice lists that I don't know if they have ever been fixed, including the incredibly annoying "one of my numbers in my numbered list has turned bold/italic for absolutely no reason and I can't change it back without deleting the entire thing or editing the raw code". God did that ever drive me nutz.

WinNT never went further than being a 32bit OS no matter what it ran on. There really is nothing worse than running WinNT on a poorly supported platform with virtually no application support.
I honestly think they thought they were going to supplant UNIX when they were putting those designs into NT.
FAO Shwartz sucked. Their prices were terrible. I don't think you need to explain how Walmart has killed them. I think someone needs to explain how they ever lived in the first place.
How is the operating system "out of the box" if it comes pre-installed? What I mean is that given a PC, I can chuck a WinXP install CD in, boot from it, and be somewhat sure that I will have a working system when the install finishes. In my experience, this is rarely true for any but the most newbie-friendly of Linux distros. Though I admit RH9 was a huge step forward in this regard.
You have got to be kidding. I just installed Windows on this computer and from the install it didn't support my network card (tulip) my modem (hayes) my scanner (epson) my printer (epson) either one of my sound cards (creative and via) my cdrw
The only thing it had a driver for was my video card. All of this hardware was supported by debian testing.
I will admit that hardware is much easier to install in Windows and that the drivers for all of this stuff did exist somewhere online (all in different places though), but as far as hardware support in just the installation, then Windows is a fucking piece of shit compared to any modern Linux distrobution.
Buddhism is different from Hinduism in almost every important way.
Hinduism is not a single religion, it is a category of religions. Some Hindus revere the Vedas as nothing more than toilet paper. Also some of the best gems of Indian philosophy aren't so much in the core Vedas as much as they are in the interpretations, critiques, and refutations. If you want to make a statement like that, then you need to say a particular school.
Buddhism and certain schools of Hinduism are very similar as Buddha was a Hindu priest. Many of the greatest Buddhist philosophers were Indian. I would say that the majority of what comprises Tibetan Buddhism came from India. Tibetan monks still read sanscrit texts to this day! Zen Buddhism is a bit further removed though. You could easily claim that Tibetan Buddhism is Hinduism and Zen Buddhism isn't. I could go on, but I would probably say something distasteful about Zen Buddhism and offend someone.
Then why can't Nvidia open large majority of the driver that doesn't use "NVIDIA's internal AGP support"? The drivers already have agpgart support, why couldn't they make an OS driver based off of that alone?
I think people don't understand that saying Hinduism is one religion with one set of beliefs is like saying that Judeaism, Christianity, Islam, and Unitarianism are all one religion with one set of beliefs.
But that bad history of Buddhism was just unforgivable. And India isn't apart of the Orient anymore?, I guess Indians are Occidental now.
Buddhism is the product of Hinduism just as Christianity is the product of Judaism. They rebel on certain points, but they are more similar to each other than any other random religion. Yes, the Buddha did strongly disagree with the caste system, and the caste system does promote the ego. However there are plenty of ego-destroying Brahmin that would say things like "we are all dead".
Also your definition of a 'philosophy' may be a bit all encompassing. A modern Tibetan would say that philosophy (in general) is limited and can take you but so far, the rest you must walk yourself. But that quote refers to 'philosophy' in the Western sense with logic, epistimology, and so forth. You and the parent poster may just be having a simple difference in definitions.
Loss of ego is an important part of Buddhism and some versions of its parent Hinduism.
Just as the ancients identified with their body, the modern man identifies with his mind.
Many teachings promote a spiritual seperation from the ego, just as most current religions teach a body/spirit duality. You could say that it is an evolution.
LiveScript/JavaScript on Netscape =4 is notoriously horrid from a programmers perspective. It is riddled with quirks and buggs.
JScript on IE tried to emulate JavaScript. But there was no standard and JavaScript was buggy. (And Netscape didn't offer to help might I add)
It wasn't till later that ECMAScript became a standard. But Netscape 4 and earlier NEVER adhered to that standard. It was close to the standard, but still full of quirks, bugs, and plenty of nonstandard behavior.
How can you expect to IE to follow the ECMAScript standard when Netscape didn't really follow it. Now I admit that the IE DOM is completely off, but I seem to remember that they already had their own DOM. And IE has added alot of functions like throw/catch, and it would have been nicer if they just put those functions in the standard.
But that's irrelivant. If IE had followed the ECMAStandard from day one, I would have still had to write seperate.js files for Netscape and IE. It wouldn't have changed things one bit. This is only relevant now that groups like Mozilla.org really want to follow the standard and nobody else is.
is a good website for numbers of adherents to major religions.
And they are NOT the second largest, they are the second most widespread. BIG difference. But they are a popular religion whose numbers are probably underestimated relative to other religions.
Walmart offers such horrible benefits, most employees use the benefit package of their significant other for health coverage. This means that it generally costs local business more on benefits after a Walmart comes to town. The result is higher prices for the stuff that you don't buy at Walmart.
That's really relative. If you were to go to a southern state like Alabama, then you would see an abnormally high number of pregnant women working the cash registers at walmart.... just for the "horrible benefits"
It is not that it is not possible to get good benefits in those certain states. It is just that there seems to be a certaint mind set that unskilled labor is undeserving of benefits. Last time I was in AL, none of the grocery stores had unions; and none of the grocery stores had good benefits except walmart. (walmart doesn't allow unions I hear)
Now on average, I have no idea how their benefits rank. I'd be interested to know though.
PS: When the super walmart grocery stores came into town, guys in suits went around to the local grocery stores to scout out the best workers. I saw them offer a stockboy at Delchamps nearly double his current salary plus benefits, which he had none at the time. It is really hard for me to say what negative impact walmart has had on that particular city.
It's not a claim, it is a fact. If you take a course in world religions, Bahai will come up.
Most people haven't heard of them because they are not extremely vocal, they have no priesthood (no segregation of that kind), and they don't exactly worship at temples.
The reason the religion is so widespread is probably because of 2 factors. Bahai is a unifying/world religion that ties in christianity, islam, and buhddism in particular. And secondly, Bahai exhibits much more common sense in its teaching than most religions. For instance, if science happend to discover something that disagreed with their teachings, then they would yield to science.
I do not practice Bahai, I have only read one of their books.

Dude you could do that in at least as late as Windows 95!
I remember because I did it. Too many fonts and Win95 would slow down to a crawl. Keep putting more in an eventually it would bite you.

A laser would be silent, deadly, and invisible.

I do use Mozilla?

I have to take offense to that.

God bless your disdain for CORBA. I hate that thing with all my heart.
Is KParts good enough to be used generally - apart from KDE? Like what CORBA is designed for?
I was just about to say that.
That example really supports the original parent's argument. Though, it was Mozilla.org's fault that Geko was/is bloated to all hell.
