    I was a 9.1 fan myself, though I also liked 2005LE.

    2005 installed with no problem.

    OK boss, it works likes this. A computer stands up and yells,"Hey Server!!!". All the computers here it, but only the server yells back, "Yeah, what do you want?"

    BTW, is it bad if I can understand most of this market speek?

    1. You can set the default save type in OpenOffice. This will be an issue with Office 12, since the default format will become .docx (Office XML).

    There's some discussion on Groklaw that says if MS doesn't provide this info (e.g. claims it's destroyed), then they run afoul of Sarbannes-Oxley. Damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

  23. Re:It is not "encryption", it is "modulation"! on Quantum Telecloning Demonstrated? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Firstly, it IS encryption, there is data being hidden in a non-obvious format,

    Wouldn't that be steganography, rather than encryption?

  24. Re:I like the part in the technical example on PTO Requests Working Model of Warp Drive · · Score: 1

    That's 4.7 million meters / minute, not per second.

    So, yo've got roughly 750,000 meters per second, or 7.5 x 10^5 m/s.

    The speed of light is about 3 x 10e8 m/s. So you're way less than the speed of light.

    I'm a catcher, and let me tell you, those shin guards are a pain in the ass, not to mention time-consuming to take off an on -- I hate being on-deck with 2 out because of it.
    I'd love something like this for baseball or softball.
