do know that deleted text shows up in the original place, just strike through, which probably throws off the pagination. Word displays deleted text in the margin, like the new notes feature.
That's exactly what she complained about. I think some information about who made the changes was missing as well. I don't remember all of the details. My least favorite text editor is which everyone I last used. I think I've established here that i don't use some of the most common features in a word processor, but I still run into unexpected behavior I don't like.
What your comment really illustrates is that the people who constantly post "OpenOffice is good enough for everything I want to do!" really don't do all that much in Word/Excel/etc.
Then I have succeeded in getting my point across. I'd like to have thought that I did use them enough to find bugs in the things that I used ( ms Equation, tables, multi column, mail merge, precise image placement, embedded excel and visio sections, table of contents pages with links to document sections, large large files thousands and hundreds of thousands of pages. ), but apparently judging by the number of replies stating how common edit tracking is, I was very wrong.
I thought so too with 2.0 and unleashed it upon my non tech savvy friend. Turns out she does use some crazy word functionality for tracking edits. Different parts of a document are highlighted according to when and by whom they were eddied by. At least open office 2.0 didn't really support that, now she has a negative experience with free software. She'll be a little more skeptical the next time I tell here a free program will do everything she needs it to do. On the other hand my non tech savvy brother is using Open Office in med school exchanging a whole litany of MS office formatted files, with out a hitch. Well the 2007 format was a hitch, but the Novell version of Open office handles them perfectly.
Is it that you can't deal with processors, or that you can't deal with programmers that can't deal with pointers. I fit in the latter case. If you've ever worked on a project in c that was written with pointers by programmer that had no idea what a pointer was... you'd understand the mother of all nightmares. Every little change, can potentially change the memory layout which causes their buffer overflows to hit meaningful code resulting in a crash completely unrelated to your change.
But whats the point, if none of the information is reliable? I mean, there is no point in comparing what your friends say versus what his friends say. Its like me arguing that people don't live in montana, because I don't know any, nor do any of my friends.
People on the both sides believe what they believe and self select evidence that fits their world view, and rejects any evidence to the contrary as lies and propaganda. The purpose of creating or reading a political blog is to get a feeling of belonging with other people agreeing with what you believe.
Thats why I love slashdot. There are a million idiots, trolls, and very smart people that will challenge anything I say on any topic under the sun. No sacred cows. minimal censorship.
Calm down. It was mostly a joke, hence the subsequent moderation. But some part of the electrical distribution system that's near the rector would be exposed to the very corrosive salt.
There are two things that I DO NOT underestimate: The extent of God's mercy, and the corrosive power of salt.
Well, you learn something new everyday. I thought the Japanese loved anything that came from water. That would literally take on extra sentence form the media to explain to its viewers, but sadly they are that lazy.
I think the combo makes sense. Japan still hunts for whales, which gets them a lot of bad press. What if, they could grow whale meat on land? You'd want whale flesh in a easily manageable form that lacks the intelligence of a whale, but you already had facilities to breed, slaughter and distribute.
Its more serious to them. They believe that a single stolen dvd set of Seinfeld will cost them less than one guy putting it up on bittorent.
Sort of like the old addage " Steal a fish from a man, he won't eat for a day. Tell the whole village how to steal his fish, and he'll never eat again."
Some tools are more expensive to use than others. The actions they perform cannot be undone, and so they must be used only as a last resort after a great deal of consideration and every other possibility has been exhausted. Violence is such a tool. Its not like the others. Its more like a stick of dynamite in a fishing box.
All of the other programs you mentioned, really did come from the unix world. They really thought about the dos/windows platform last. But real treated windows/dos on equal footing as the rest. Thats all I was speaking of, Real wasn't from the same unix background as all of the other listed programs.
Oh man, memories. I was really close to buying netscape communicator ( $70 retail in our book shop), before they offered it for free. I'm pretty sure the bookstore had to eat all of its inventory at that point. They kept cutting the price hoping someone was didn't know it was free. It got down to $5 and assigned to the bargain bin. I always looked for it everytime I went there. I'd pick it up walk around the store grab the other things I needed, get in line, then look at the box and put it back.
I don't think they noticed. And in retrospect it seems like a rather odd thing to do. And it was.
I also had my eye on a copy of visual fox pro. Why would anyone buy visual fox pro in a university bookstore? There weren't any classes for it. It wasn't cheap. They never reduced its price. My later unpleasant experience in the work force with foxpro makes me think it was some sort of cosmic warning of the consequences if I didn't change the path I was on. Speaking of which I think I really need to find foxpro disks on ebay, write return to sender on the box, and light it on fire. For surely such a demonic creation could have only been created by Beelzebub
I guess you don't remember the ftp ratio servers. Yes, back in the early age I did a little downloading. I've since legally purchased all that I downloaded.
In a more serious note: Having a manuscript that can be interpreted many different contradictory ways does not disprove a religion based upon it.
As long as the believers of that faith who hold it to be infallible, find no contradiction in it, it does not mean they are wrong. Its their texts, their religion they can believe what they want. As long as its not making concrete falsifiable predictions, you can't disprove it.
It also does not matter what the religion originally believed, or stole ideas from.
Religions are allowed to evolve their beliefs. Science hasn't always believed in the same theories, why should we hold religion to a more stringent test than science? In any case, when I wrote that I was again speaking to the fact that I don't care what religion my future girlfriends belong to, as long as they do not directly contradict the predictive powers of science.
The barely hidden subtext of this conversation is Christianity vs Astrology. Having dated committed members of both religion's, my personal experience was much better with the Christians. The astrologist was by far crazier. Your millage may vary.
Having a manuscript that can be interpreted many different contradictory ways does not disprove a religion based upon it. It also does not matter what the religion originally believed, or stole ideas from. As long as it doesn't tell me that a large body of scientific evidence is wrong or to cause harm to other people or myself, I have no problems with it. So if there are some believers in astrology that fit that profile, I have no problems with them either.

Good point: Bad Programmers can cause random crashes regardless of any specific programming language element.
But, to be fair Many programmers tart off as bad. You just hope that they have someone there who transforms their badness to goodness.

I don't disagree or agree with the feasibility of electric cars. I disagree with crappy logic presented in slashdot posts.
But whats the point, if none of the information is reliable? I mean, there is no point in comparing what your friends say versus what his friends say. Its like me arguing that people don't live in montana, because I don't know any, nor do any of my friends.
So you are asking him to scientifically back up his ad hoc assertion, and then provide your own unscientific study of friends and family?
Wow.

Nuclear reactor and the corrosive power of salt: a match made in heaven!

Real wasn't borne of Unix. A product that crappy could only have been made by an ex Microsoft employee.

If your day at the movies cost you as much as a day at the casino, then you aren't doing one of those correctly.
That reminds me, next time I fly I'm going to have to leave my liquid computer shoes at home. The fools.
Yeah, I've been stopped because of my external dvd drive for years.

But I agree with myself. Therefore, due to the fact that we disagree, slashdot is wrong and does not exist.
