Yeah, that's a good backup strategy. Use a proprietary format with a history of data corruption limitations to store vital emails related to the United States presidency.
The aliens in Independence Day did. Threatened them, but didn't defeat them. But how do you know that they haven't disguised themselves as tourist operators in Suffolk? This could be chance they need to retake the earth.
And I don't know about you, but I don't think I could stand a sequel to ID4.
Sigh. If only people in this thread would just read the first chapter of "A Brief History of Time" by Hawkings, this conversation would not be happening.
True. I mean, didn't even get the following right:
"Quick, name one executive's bio photo that shows him or her wearing a billowy floral shirt? Zzzt! Times up! Wear these on vacation if you must, but don't show up to a quarterly meeting in one of these numbers."
Pfft. Evidently the author has never been to an APEC conference.
Yes, but Microsoft would have been better to let the applications just crash, not block them. Since when has it been Microsoft's responsibility to ensure third party apps run nicely?
I'd say it's insightful because a. there are a lot of scientists interested in this sort of thing, and b. the calculation has been around for quite some time with noone challenging it.
I thought scientists were meant to challenge conventional wisdom? The parent poster is only saying that in his/her opinion it took far too long for this one to be tested again.
Given that Excel is so notoriously inaccurate when doing floating point calculations, I'd be interested if someone else did this in another application. I wonder if they would get the same result.
I am not talking about the "intervention". That needs to be reviewed and either stopped or modified. However, there are those who are abusing Aboriginal children - some of them are relatives of the children. There are definitely children at risk, that can't be denied. They must be removed at times. However, it doesn't mean they must be moved to white families. Often times my understanding is that there are a wider family who can look after the children safely. I can't see why that can't happen.
A self published book doesn't really prove anything. My understanding, which is limited - true, is that there is a total reluctance to take children from their parents nowadays.
Children should be removed from abusive situations. That is very different to the Stolen Generation.
No, the one purchasing the video is actively encouraging the creation of the video. I'd say they are colluding with the creators. The law agrees with me.
The "Deluge of facts KOs OOXML" article says that the "ECMA [is] a RIAA-like industry group dedicated to advancing its members' interests". wtf? Hardly!

Oh? Why so?
Hilarious!

You missed a full-stop.

Another question with no question mark? Or is that a statement. Oh how confusing.
If it was so great and does everything (except text editing) why doesn't it just go maintain itself?
Guess it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Sure it does. The insight he has is that it took too long for scientist to challenge conventional wisdom. That's pretty insightful.

True. Article doesn't say what spreadsheet package he used.
The only way to find out would be to buy the journal article, thrillingly entitled "Modeling the Milky Way: Spreadsheet Science".

I guess. But if one blogger writes in a forest, will anyone bother to make a comment?
I'm looking forward to the day when blogging becomes obsolete.
This is indeed the case. I fear that this legislation is unworkable.
May I suggest that any Australian readers voice their concerns?
It is actually quite easy to find your Federal member of Parliament. Just go to this site and search your suburb. For a list of members, here is an alphabetical list, party list, list of members by state and also an electoral list.
Once you've found your member, their contact details can be found if you follow the links.
The more people who get involved, the more that politicians will listen. Don't let lobbyist groups get away with this sort of rubbish!
Go away troll. There are people who want to make serious comments, you're getting in the way.
pcameron41 is indeed wrong.
How's it feel to be more wrong than Wikipedia?
Excellent choice. Remove yourself from the treaty immediately. Thanks.
Bah. There are many talented people who are willing to contribute for no monetary payment. Not everything as a pricetag my friend.
