Ahh, the command is actually "REVEAL CODES" as a poster below has said.
Oh, and ever since Corel took over it's been freakin bloatware just like their horendous Corel Draw which bogs on my AMD 3.0 Ghz with 1 Gig ram. Photoshop CS blows it away.
WP has a better markup than word. For example word aligns text on a line by line basis, so if you want something left aligned on the same line as something right aligned you have to use freakin tabs ~:(
Also WP has the best command in any word process. I believe it's called show commands and it brings up a 2nd pane with all the text with it's markup tags. It's freaking wonderfull for tracking down those pesky stray font tags.
Alas I'm forced to use Word so that I'm compatible with the masses. All those converters are to much hassle for how little I actually use a word processor.
Some people on/. are so f*ing paranoid about "Big Brother" it's nauseating. Guess what guys, 1982 came and went. I expect to hear this kind of technology paranoia from the technically ignorant, but from Geeks it's ridiculous. Did you know that when the idea of putting a radio in a car was first proposed people where up in arms about the danger that this posed?
You are absolutely correct. The "Red Light Camera's" take multiple pictures. One of your car behind the line when the light turns red, one of your license plate and one of you driving.
The trick is to send them a picture of you writing them a check;-)
Viandante del Cielo means "sky walker" in Italian and for those who are new to our planet, Luke Skywalker is the lead character in Lucas' "Star Wars" epic.
My least favorite part:(
Currently 3.5 acres are planted, including a small patch of Pinot Noir that Lucas keeps for himself.
U.K. energy company Powergen finds itself so often confused with a similarly named Italian battery maker that it issues a statement disavowing any connection between the two enterprises. It's not so much the Italian company that the Brits want to distance themselves from as its Web address:
Powergenitalia.com.
The consoles are a loss leader (much like iTunes). It takes years for them to make money of the console. Where they make their money is in the games. I think nintendo gets like 55% of the revenue from any 3rd party game and obviosly 100% of the 1st party games. The reason nintendo is more profitable than X-Box is because of their incredible 1st party game lineup.

From the article
Don't apply for too many jobs. I don't think there's ever a reason to apply for more than three or four jobs at a time. Resumespam, or any sign that you're applying for 100 jobs, just makes you look desperate which makes you look unqualified.
Mod the parent up, this looks like a very interesting solution. I can't seem to find a price but since it uses 802.11 i would bet that it is far cheaper than a proprietary system.
Do you like the computer you are using right now? Well better thank NASA. The circuit board was developed during the Apollo program because vacuum tube computers were impossible to back into a rocket. This of course led to the development of the Personal Computer.
Yes, in general this is a poor argument to use. However in this case the additional spending is far out weighed by the economic advantages of space exploration. Instead of building a bomb which has a negative economic impact (not to mention cost) we are building spacecraft that have the potential to generate huge economic benefits.
Not to mention the advances in science and technology that the program alone generates. One example of technology developed from the Apollo program is the circuit board which of course led to the personal computer.
For the parent and the parent's parent i have one word for you.... Enermax.
I find their fans to be of superior quality. So much so that I use the Enermax Fans too cool my case and of course an Enermax Power supply. Since I upgraded my noise level has dropped significantly.
I'm not upset with apple, I'm disappointed that there still isn't an mp3 player on the market that satisfies my criteria. Like I said I wasn't surprised. I didn't expect apple to announce a $100 iPod. I hoped for it. And I'm not letting the rumor determine my demographic, I just let it satisfy it.
And there is now way I would buy a 4 gig mp3 player when i can get a 15 gig for an extra $50. My point was that they are not marketing the mini to the people who want a cheaper ipod. The are targeting the people who want a cuter one. I'm sure that within a year the mini will be down to $150 at which point I'll prolly pick one up. Until then it's just not worth it to me.
My demographic is people who would like to have a nice mp3 player but can't justify blowing $300 on one. We live in the $100 - $150 price range of mp3 players and the landscape is mighty baren right now. I thought it was too good to be true but i hoped it wasn't.
My position on the behavior of The SCO Group is that they're a bunch of lying fuckweasels who deserve nothing less than a forcible sodomization with a diamond-grit-encrusted Louisville Slugger wielded by SEC Chairman Bill Donaldson himself.
You are being a little vague, could you draw me a picture?
The smaller size, pastel colors and cute name the iPod Jr. offers seems to be targeting women with a good amount of disposable income. It's too bad to because most of my friends were planning on buying the $100 iPod Jr. I guess they aren't looking to satisfy my demographic though.
You have some very interesting points. Cheaper Plasma HDTVs will even the playing field as far as display goes, but graphics capabilities will always be dominated by PC's because of upgradability. The day a new console hits the market you can put together a faster PC. Sure you can optimize for a console because you know exactly what hardware you are dealing with, but I think that this advantage is quickly lost to the breakneck pace of new video card development. And please keep in mind that an X-Box is simple a PC in a box. Of course Doom3 will be able to run on it, if I had a PC with the same specs (god save me) it would be able to run at 30fps at 640x480.
I would also like to point out that without PC gaming inovations like voice chat would likely take a lot longer to be realized. After all it wasn't a huge gaming conglomerate that created Roger Wilco. It was a small company who's idea was taken up by hardcore PC gamer clans. Even still it took years for a large gaming company to catch on. Having to rely on Microsoft or EA for radical inovation is foolhardy and pointless.
I know this was mentioned in the artice, but Mods illustrate my point even further. I mean the whole Rainbow Six FPS swat style genre was made popular by a little MOD known as counter-strike. The WW2 genre that we are all sick of? I would venture to say that it was started by the Day of Defeat mod for Half-Life.
I also think that we had a pretty off year as gaming is concerned and it was felt hardest in the PC market. This was a year of expansion packs and delays for the PC market. Desert Combat (based on the craptacular BF1942 engine), Call of Duty (*yawn* another WW2) and Homeworld (buggy online play) were, imo, the only good "new" games to hit the PC this year. As a results I bought a gamecube and a PS2 this year in order to fill my gaming apetite. All of this makes it a very poor time to talk about the "end of PC gaming". I feel that in one year everyone will be singing quite a different tune as their consoles gather dust and people rave over the latest HL2 mod and Doom 3.
Maybe this is because I don't own one, but I have yet to find a an auto focus SLR that will switch to manual and give me as much control as my K-1000. The feautres may be there, but inevitably you have to use some stupid lcd or nob with some icons that I don't recognize. Maybe I'm too stupid to figure it out, but I always find myself wishing for a light meter, an apeture dial and a shutter speed nob. That combined with the depth of field lines on the lens give me a whole world of control over my shot. And I can change all of the variables within seconds and even without taking my eye from the lens.
I also find that my friends who have the Auto SLR with a manual mode almost never use the manual mode. And if i ask them how to do a adjust the appeture or shutter speed that give me a dumb look.
Oh c'mon. Don't get your panties in a knot because someone insulted something you like. I read the honor series years ago and was also entertained. I laughed at myself when I read his critique about Webber. I could understand getting upset if his comments were competely unfounded, but they weren't. The characters are completely 2-d and Webber couldn't come up with a new plot to save his life.

Even still a win95 box (which there are a lot of here in the USA) is far more suseptible to being used as an open relay than an XP box.

They don't need investors. They made enough money off of Duke Nukem and the Max Payne license to fund themseleves.

It's not the added functionality that I am complaining about (though I don't use it). It the ease of use of a manual camera that I lament.
I hate autofocus cameras!
