Interesting. Because my elinks is running in X it defaults to using X to display images. When I am on a dumb terminal it uses aview so I dont even have to mess with images, sure, ascii sux for images, but then again - I can display them any way I want to.
Why not just use elinks/links/lynx then? You are looking for a feature set so low that my copy of elinks actually has more features then yours...not to flame, but I am curiou8s as to why. And before you say it, I fire up a for bore browser when needed - but why do you have your set up rather then mine?
1. diplomacy AND education. If you wanted to read a book about or have a discussion about engineering, do you think in the 10th century it was written in Celtic?
2. Not every Monk or Nun came from a wealthy family. Martin Luther's father owned a copper mine, he was middle class at best.
3. I point out that they are not valid because as the parallels exists everywhere and because of that it stops being a useful metric. It is like the whole Kennedy/Lincoln coincidences, sure there are parallels, but they aren't really useful, and you can find them between all sorts of other unrelated people.
"Your need to defend the Church says a lot." Not really, I am not (nor have ever been) Catholic. I do find it sad that you decided to make this personal though.
As to your separate issue see number 3 above, many organizations do this. But I think there is a turn of phrase in there that is interesting - "the Church was used" - I agree, the Church was used, and it itself used its power. And this is where I think Scientology is Evil. No one uses Scientology, Scientology only uses people.
1. Yes and they have been screaming for it back ever since. So now what is mass in Latin or English? And let us not forget that if you wanted a not Latin religious service you could get one as far back as the 16th Century How exactly do you thing they converted the Germanic and other tribes?
2. a. And for the most part their was, the press in a lot of ways broke the Church's back not by making the bible more wide spread, but by making it easier to get knowledge without going into a monastery. It brought about the Renaissance very quickly. But the assumption that you have made was that it was the Church keeping "The People" down. I ask you though, was it that, or the lack of a way to get knowledge out ala the press? I think the Internet is a similar revolution in politics. Were 17th Century Americans oppressed, or did they lack an easy means to get knowledge?
2. b.Puh-lease. If you honestly thing the Royalty of the time gave much more than lip service to the Holy See pick up a book about The Holy Roman Empire Here is a clue: It Wasn't. Wasn't Holy, Roman, or an Empire. If you were royal the best way to make sure your kingdom (duchy, whatever) didn't split - even in your lifetime - was to pack up the other sons to a place that made them be poor for life. Was their cooperation? Yes at times their was, but not on the scale that you think their was.
3. Fixed what? Find me a republican that gets put on the DNC, or a Google employee free to go work for Microsoft's Search division, or a Cardinal asked to sit in with the druids. Did they pull from their supporters? Sure, but find me a group that doesn't.
1. "Latin would persist as the main language of diplomacy until, with the rise of the French Bourbons in the 17th century, France became the strongest monarchy in Europe." from here And I am quite certain it was widely used until the Reformation by the educated.
2. And how would they have done so? Perhaps by mystery plays? Or the carving and stain glass on the churches? The educated certainly did have access to the Bible, or do you assume Martin Luther tacked up his Thesis and the peasantry went "Uh, sure, sounds good, we'll do that." Or is it that you want to put a modern spin of "The Man" keeping "The People" down?
3. Yes, because no other political organization has ever had issues with that sort of thing. I am sure everyone that graduates Harvard does so out of ability not "their secular political influence and familial financial contributions". Please you can fill that line in for any organization through history, it hardly is a condemnation of the Church.
Masses in the...latin...of its time? Not letting the illiterate peasants paw through a hand copied book, probably the only one that priest would ever get to make or have made? Church leaders chosen by the church from its educated and learned? Yeah, just like Scientology.
Ah yes, and the advanced life that got them into space was who? Oh, and who got into space to make the one that made them, and so on, and so on, ad infinitum. Panspermia is a horrible theory, somewhere life had to sprout for it to get spread around, all the hand waving in the world wont make that go away, and if it evolved someplace else, it is no more or less likely that it evolved here.
That's right Physical Access - If you can get physical access to the hardware everything else is moot. If they were booting off of media then everything is already out the window.
but a 10 year old has no business learning how to make bombs or viewing hardcore porn. When my kids go to school and the school is responsible for them, they are there to learn and not "do what they want". Schools have a responsibility to do their best to filter internet access and monitor what is going on. It's either that or don't allow the internet.
Written exactly like someone would say before they call their lawyer if little Timmy got caught seeing porn by proxying around the filters. And yeah, it would be your bad parenting that would teach Timmy that it is OK to break the rules as he sees fit.
Your $500 Dell + $400 + $600 = $1500, I would say he is being generous.
As for your OOo claim, here is a solution, save them in thier native format and send them on. I have never understood peoples fascination with *having* to save as a.doc file. I work as a.NET developer in a 100% microsoft shop, I even have Office 2k7 installed and do you know what, my boss gets my time sheets as an.ods file. Obnoxious? Maybe, but *having* to have it in an excel format is obnoxious as well, it is just an accepted obnoxiousness. The software to read it and understand it is free, send them a link, they are adults and can figure it out. Incidentally the only time my boss has ever said anything about the format - was the one time I used excel and sent it as an excel document, he actually called me to ask if I had sent the right document.
'When OpenOffice.org is GravityZood, it will become a suite of productivity applications that are always available, online, via a broad range of devices.
...and when that fails I hear there is good money to be found in verbing nouns.
Oblivion lost me at the very beginning when the priest(bishop?) was murdered and I got killed/arrested for getting on the wrong horse afterward. I was starting to get irritated with the game already, but come on.

The speed is the issue. Those Folker IVs were flying at 50-60 MPH ground speed. A modern jet stalls at many times less than that.
They did more than that, they gave Lee heart pills for example. Turtledove under estimated the effect of automatic weapons though.
