The Canadian government clearly doesn't understand who their actual employers are. It's time to fire a few of them until they come to respect that once more.
sure there are changes, but there's also a fully interactive tutorial right there on the help tab that shows where options have moved to.
You are giving my memory far more credit than it deserves -- and in quite a cavalier manner too. To expect me to remember dozens of changes and instantly be able to map between them is asking more than my old mind can -- or should be expected -- to handle. Overall I'd rather stay with any of their older versions than put up with interface change B.S. just for the sake of change. There's not a single new feature I need, yet MS is doing everything they can to force me to spend money upgrading to a system I don't even want.
This seems to be the only positive thing ribbon FanBois can say about 2007/2010. And just how many Word users have used the equation editor -- even once?
What's really nice is that I don't have to enter 4 sub menus just to insert a math equation or a symbol into my work. And the visual table insertion tool is really useful for those of us who don't want to think about how many, just how it should look.
Either you're a Microsoft shill, or you never took the couple minutes of effort to use the Customize... feature of many office versions to add your own commonly used feature to a toolbar. The first things I add to any pre-2007 Word tool bar, for example, are Style button, Word Count, Thesaurus, and Paste Special. Those fit my unique needs. To go through 4 sub menus for years to find an often used command rather than implement the provided solution renders anything you say questionable.
How about a DIY Breath-Analyzer? It could at least do a better job than the lousy coded version(s) out there that so far do everything from chop off most of the precision, disable error detection, and can't perform a running average, to giving fake high readings when an NYC cop knowingly keys his radio to harass you with. If I had my own unit I could always compare it to theirs when it came to a court battle -- not that I ever advocate driving while impaired. That kills other people!
How many more times can i explain this, the ONLY foolproof model, is to charge per email sent, even if it is.01 of a cent,
I'll second you on this. As much as I love Free - and Free really is and always has been one of my most favorite things - an economic solution to this is by far the best approach to this. Give the money to the person receiving the e-mail - e.g. you pay me to receive your message - and I can use that as credit against e-mails I send myself. Then I might even accept that crap - before deleting it.
Unless you use your new system to hunt down and kill the spammers, you will never win. You will only spend an ever increasing amount of money fighting a losing holding action.
You buy Microsoft software, and you buy it once and for all
Of course you only buy it once. By the time the next version comes out it is so bloated, full of new DRM, in need of new video cards to handle the latest DirectX version, and just plain overall inefficient, that you need a new system to run it - which unavoidably comes with the next version of Windows preloaded.
Per processor licensing should have been banned long ago.
In other words, now we don't know what might happen and we're *still* mucking with our climate.
No, you're wrong! We *always* muck with our climate simply by the acts of living, breathing, and eating. What we're doing is making *very* expensive decisions about how to handle something that we don't even understand. Al Gore should have stuck with "inventing the Internet" if he wanted a personal legacy that isn't going to look like muck itself in 50 years or less.
...and likely plays havoc with global models of climate change.
In short, we don't know what's really happening, but our political leaders are making very expensive decisions based on the belief (of some) that we do.
I've made the drive from Tucson to Phoenix when it is bumper to bumper the entire way and going the speed limit is physically impossible.
I know this drive very well as well, although I can usually manage 80MPH on the cruise control with very few slowdowns -- especially now that they're widening the 2-lanes each direction to 3. I like the idea of the solar panels over the tracks because in addition to power they would provide necessary shade to improve the efficiency of keeping the trains cool.
It's just that I thought all new bullet trains had to go to Las Vegas first to keep Harry Reid elected and spending my money.
At least Microsoft (so frequent target on this site) does not tell me what to run.
Actually they do. They just came out with their own 12 Prohibited Application Types for Microsoft's Windows MarketPlace for Mobile store. You just haven't been paying attention.
The trick might be to smuggle it in as part of another app - like a plug-in/add-on to Safari. Anybody for Firefox on your iPhone?
And btw, even if they won't sell it for the iPhone because AT&T told them not to (it's my phone, not Apple's, not AT&T's), why can't you have a torrent app for your iPod Touch? Don't tell me that AT&T owns that too!
The problem I see here is that the Copyright Office may not see how absolutely stupid the MPAA's position on this actually is.
Why would I suppose that? Well consider, the MPAA is actually making this lame argument, and they're not doing it to intentionally lose the argument, so they must think they have a chance of winning their case.
This resolves to either:
The MPAA is incredibly stupid and is insulting the Copyright Office (not a good idea if you're the MPAA).
The Copyright Office really is this stupid.
Both the MPAA and the Copyright Office are incredibly stupid.
Given that Kindle's Whispernet is already doing this, and that it would distinguish Apple notebooks from the better priced PC variety, and that an Apple tablet is rumored to be in the works which would give Kindle a run for its money, and iPhones already talk to 3G networks, it makes sense to do it in the notebooks and the tablet.

Overall I'm betting on shill.
And available now.

Of course, all those DirectX 10 and 10.1 video cards will need to be replaced for W7.
I would have started the process by posting as an AC to Slashdot, rather than a name that has an e-mail address attached to it.
This sounds more like Twilight Zone episode material than a complete movie.
My deepest regret is that PKD never got the benefit of this fame -- or that his estate simply sold out when he had held out.

If it actually is the botnet control center then it's probably worth taking out. And maybe you'll get the operator with it!

Send the court a 1 page pro se response:
... and ...
The Defendant's actions are protected forms of expression under Supreme Court decisions
Defendant therefore requests immediate dismissal of this case With Prejudice and forty-four cents recompense for his postage.
And if this case is taking place in California, or any other state with SLAAP laws, file a SLAPP counterclaim.

That's a great textbook definition of Stupidity!
Another bad Slashdot summary. Safer alternatives (e.g. memcpy_s) are already in place, but somehow that wasn't mentioned up where it should have been.
Bad Slashdot editors -- no soup for you!
Would this mean that there's finally a use for the SysRq key?

Apple is evil. They just bribe you with pretty bangles to not notice it too much.
How about 2 features to love?
1: A good tethering app, preferably via USB, Bluetooth, and WiFi?
2: A good VOIP app?
