Vinegar is often recommended as a good, nontoxic, cleaning solution for hardwood floors. The vinegar's primary purpose is to cut down on water spots. I don't recall what ratio of vinegar to water is recommended, but I don't think straight vinegar is called for.
"The plural of anecdote is not data." There, just had to get that logic out of the way.
I went to a parochial grade school that was supposedly so wonderful. (Though my parents were probably a little biased, since my dad was a teacher there.) When I got to public high school, I envied the opportunities my friends had had in their public grade schools and jr. high. They weren't light-years ahead of me, but while I'd been learning why Lutherans are good and Catholics are bad, they had been taking extra math, and even shop classes, which sounded pretty interesting. 3 to 1!
They are pretty dreadful if you're creating a mildly complex query. But something like Access, or OpenOffice Base, or even Crystal, is very useful for browsing through the tables and fields when you can't remember how to spell every one of the 150+ tables, not to mention all the fields, in your company's system. The vast majority of queries are relatively simple select statements, anyway.

This looks like a very handy reference for those of us who can read SQL statements alright, but have grown lazy with all the GUI SQL-statement builders that exist now.
6 in a Taurus may be possible, in theory, but not exactly comfortable. Factor in a carseat or two, and you'll hear lots of complaining.
As for the other two on your list of "fine" automobiles, their mileage is hardly any different than a full-size SUV. The 2004 Crown Vic, for example, is rated at 13/18 mpg. A 2004 Chevy Tahoe 4WD is rated at 14/18.
I remember the past few years where half the comments on Slashdot bitched and moaned about how stupid the whole concept of April Fools is (especially after getting suckered about one of the stories).
I, for one, welcome our completely over-the-top pink pony overlords! (for one day, anyway, and then they really have to go away)
Do you have the same annoying talking pony thing in your house as we had in ours?
"I'm a pretty pony, clippity-clop, clippity-clop. Such a pretty pony, clippity-clop, clippity-clop. I like to have my hair brushed, underneath the old oak tree. Let's jump and run, we'll have lots of fun, when you come and play with meeeeee!"
We got rid of ours a year ago, and I still remember that damn song.
I'm curious as to how they will define "anti-virus" or "anti-spyware" software. If MS releases a patch, or plugs a hole in its firewall to prevent infection, does that count? I see the 3rd-party vendors being forced to define their market *very* narrowly in order for their claims to stand up in court.
The "your" vs "you're" issue drives me nuts, too, and I'm really not *that* old. Last week's episode of LOST used subtitles at one point, and they misused "you're" when they should have written "your". (I'd taped the episode and rewound it, just to be sure, but have since recorded over it.) I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, considering how many editors must have seen this before it aired on national television.
iWork is hardly Apple's office suite. Check out AppleWorks, which does word processing, page layout, painting, spreadsheet, database, and presentations.
Also $79.
If he'd torn up the preaddressed envelope, as well, I wonder if this would have been possible. Would the postal service process a taped-together envelope? If he'd used his own envelope and addressed it by hand, would the application have been processed by a human rather than by machine?
Is there anything about the new polymer (skews the optics, reduces reflectivity...) that would prevent it from being used on CD or DVD media? I assume that this isn't an option for blank media, but heck, I'd pay a little extra for a commercial DVD that could better withstand a 3-year-old.
I can't help but wonder, though, why a cop would even bother writing a ticket for a car with no plates? How else are they going to know whose car it is?
In other words, they've had some time to disallow a boatload of specific usernames like "ilikeallah", "allahistehl33t", and negative ones like "allahsux"? Just a theory - I haven't actually tested it.

They'll make up the difference with an astronomical shipping price.

Yes, but the upside is that you'll be able to fuel your car with Tamiflu pills.
for making me giggle at work. :-)

The same could be said for every profession. It's what separates the real experts from the amateurs.
Whoa, hang on there. I'm no SUV fan, either, but come on, a 6-seat car? 1982 called - it wants its Ford Country Squire back.
Heck, who uses a *full-release* version of a partitioning tool without backing up their data first? (Don't tell me - I don't really want to know.)
I guess this just demonstrates how much (blind) faith some people place in Apple.
Excellent! I'm all set to follow in his footsteps!
I'd never heard of it as anything but O-L-E, but I apparently I wasn't hanging around with the cool programmers. :-)
A couple of years ago, I was working with a guy who insisted on referring to D-L-L's as "dills". That made me chuckle every time.

Isn't this the kind of thing that got mp3.com into hot water a couple years ago?

Why would you send an email to your colleagues, instead of just creating a personal appointment on your GW calendar?
