yes i know, but that's not what the original post was about - the original post [re-read it!] was saying that word mangles OO documents as often as OO mangles word documents - my point was, in the eyes of consumers, if OO is involved, it is to blame.
I believe the Daedalus class was explicity shown on camera in TOS, not just mentioned, but there's nothing like it in Enterprise.
that's because enterprise takes place before that - my understanding [which could be wrong] is that enterprise takes place [at least partly] before there was a federation or starfleet, and that it's supposed to be a ship from earth
Kirk's crew was supposed to be "the first" The first what? there were clearly plenty of other starships out there by that time, and there are plenty of references to ships from a century or more in the past
so they're run by the state? ok, who runs the huge federal income tax that is bleeding the states dry [by making it harder to have any reasonably sized state income tax]
Arthur Dent does not end up together with Trillian.
Adams wrote that himself.
Marvin does not save the day.
It's not clear that he intended to - Also, it seems likely to me that this was also written by DNA
Trillian does not get kidnapped by Vogons this seems to be a theme with you - objecting to new material merely because it's new
There is no backup earth, hence the reason they wanted Arthur's brain. BZZT BZZT BZZT WRONG! the new one was going to have fiords on the coast of africa instead of norway, remember? they wanted his brain for purposes of expedience, since it was going to take another 10 million years (and more cash out of the mice's pockets) to run the program again [though i agree this should have been a new earth from scratch like in the books, with "glaciers poised to roll over africa" etc]
The cult-leader only existed to remove Zaphrod's second head to avoid having to spend money on special effects after that point.
Also written by DNA. I bet you hated the books because they didn't perfectly follow the radioplays - especially books 3-5.
AND THE RESTAURANT AT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE ISN'T AT THE FUCKING EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE.
where is this claimed? i distinctly interpreted marvin's line as meaning that they took a wrong turn and almost ended up at the Big Bang Burger Bar.
my point, which you entirely missed, was that any failure for either documents generated in openoffice to appear correctly in word, or for word documents to appear correctly in openoffice, will be seen by the masses as a fault in either openoffice's document generation or its ability to open word files, respectively.
As far as sex goes, if a 14 year old has an 18 year old boyfriend or a 17 year old has a 27 year old boyfriend and the minor's parents agree and the minor is fully versed on pregnancy, STDs, etc., that may be unwise but it shouldn't be a sex-offense felony for the boyfriend. Now a 14 year old minor going to bed with a 27 year old boyfriend, that's another matter entirely. Book 'em Danno.
14 and 18 = ok 17 and 27 = ok 14 and 27 = no
fine... now apply your "rule" to these: 18 and 27 17 and 28 14 and 19 14 and 20 17 and 34
how about 28 and 90?
all of the above, including your own examples, with the girlfriend as the older party (your use of the word "boyfriend" above did not go unnoticed)
all of the above as lesbian relationships, and if it was not your original intent, as male homosexual relationships [if that was your original intent, as heterosexual relationships with the girlfriend as the younger party]
any absolute rule, whether based on an absolute difference, a ratio, or some other arbitrary curve, will fail on borderlines.
draw a graph showing the entire shape of the region in which it is "ok", and clearly defining the border of this region, and don't be surprised when each and every feature of the curve you choose is pointed at and questioned "why?"
deleting the file does not change anything from the point of view of a program that has it open and is reading data from it in linux. why do you think it would?
I find it hard to imagine there is a person in this country who doesn't know some one with an extra USB keyboard or two laying around anyway. I find it quite easy to imagine - keyboards shipped with PCs are _universally_ PS2, and macs don't have a lot of marketshare in comparison.
They could have put on a PS2 port if they were serious about letting you use your old keyboard.

it's not just "permissable" (skitt's law strikes again), it's fully correct, and moreso than "Adams's"
the first three bits are nitpicking of stuff edited for time, but... they were quite clearly yellow
that was vogsphere, not magrathea. my interpretation was that they're designed to suppress independent thought.

"Or perhaps not calling it Star Trek for two years didn't help?"
How do you figure that? The opening title clearly says "StarTrek: Enterprise"
sure, now it does

I've heard all about how it fits in to the plot- It just does not fit into the book
That doesn't excuse your original claim that it doesn't fit into a plot you did not witness.
"the original" books?
don't you mean the radioplay?

is that
++x += x++ + x++
or
++x += x + ++(x++)?
or perhaps
++x += x + (++x)++?
Sure, sometimes an OOo document looks like crap in MS Office, but sometimes and MS Office document looks like crap in OOo.
Both of these are bad points for OOo, not for MS.
but when "backing down to neutral" is equivalent to "having the bill thrown in the garbage", there is some element of bigotry.

you're wrong.
deleting the file does not change anything from the point of view of a program that has it open and is reading data from it in linux. why do you think it would?
how about
- rename the damn file anyway and be smart enough to keep track of the file by inode instead
Still the case under XP.
And why can't users set their own timezone? [it's silly in most cases, but suppose something like windows terminal services]
whereas "gun" is the japanese word for... military
This is possible due to templates. C++ is better than C, period.
Obviously in C++ there's no need for those big ugly macros
What is a template, but a big ugly macro?

IE treats the former as the same security zone as the latter. If you had to click to confirm running it on the latter, you also do for the former.
