Excel is fine for adding or subtracting, but the minute you start analyzing the data, throw it into minitab. If you have it, Excel's not really adding much.
No, I remember trying to do some simple financial calculations and there was a major flaw in Excel's covariance funtion. It divided by n when it should have been (n-1). Not a big deal with large sets, but I'd wager "average users" are using small sets.
Think of the internet as part of the school library, except that the internet is many times the size of the Library of Congress, and kids can have the keys to that library 24 hours per day.
You forgot the part where the library is 90% porn...
In Canada, an arguably Liberal society, they have the Human Rights Tribunal, which has been using so-called "hate speech" laws in what are little more than kangaroo courts to suppress free speech and the free exchange of ideas. Indeed, the very NOTION of having "hate speech" laws is anti-free speech and anti-freedom. Yet where do we see these laws crop up first? In "Liberal" countries.
Other's have addressed most of your points, but I'd like to point out your errors in the above paragraph. First, it is customary to use a lower case "l" for liberal the political philosophy and an upper case "L" for political parties, like the Liberal Party of Canada. The same applies to small and big "C" conservative. You used the opposite and it's a bit confusing.
Secondly, there is a difference between hate speech laws and the CHRC. Hate speech laws create criminal offenses for inciting hatred, not just expressing an unpopular view. The CHRC and its ilk were set up to deal with discrimination in employment, housing, etc... Some people have taken to abusing this system by filing complaints over "offensive" material. The Steyn and Levant cases are good examples of it. What's been happening is that most of the time the tribunals have refused to here the cases. Sometimes something gets through, but it's usually overturned on appeal.
So there are problems, but at least they're out in the open. Furthermore, people are trying to fix them, like rescinding section 13.1 of the Canadian Human Rights Act (lead by a Liberal, by the way). Personally, I prefer my free speech being challenged this way in a pitched battle out in the open rather than people dismissing others' arguments wholesale as "unamerican" or boycotting artists for dissent.
I reject the notion that Canadians enjoy any less freedom of speech than the U.S. Americans like to believe that they're the most free society, but they're really no better or worse than the rest of Western Democracy.
I just want to support the parent's point about retailing. They're really starting to get involved in the psychology of shopping. I'd highly recommend Why We Buy to anyone remotely interested in this stuff. It was actually required reading for one of my marketing classes.
Read the second last paragraph of the decision. The judge says that if you write "The truth about X is here". And [here] contains a defamatory you could be liable for lible.
The thing that strikes me as different from the old (e.g. Diku) muds and present day MMORPGs is the lack of community. Any social aspect of WoW is either within your guild or friends you already knew. There are 2 barriers to this that I can see in WoW: the size (big playerbase, lots of trolls) and the lack of a real global off topic chat channel. In the old days, we had fun with a lousy text base game because we all knew each other and we could chat while grinding mobs.

This is essentially my position. By saying God couldn't have created life through an evolutionary mechanism is essentially placing limitations on His power. Something we Christians generally don't do. It's very sad that a very vocal group mostly localised in the U.S. (and to a lesser extent Canada) have been creating this image of Christians being irrational zealots.
The root of it all is that these American "evangelicals" aren't what the rest of the world uses "evangilcal" to mean. It's just a word the've taken to replace "literalist". These are literalists, plain and simple. Why don't they call themselves that? Because literalism is frowned upon by most of mainstream Christianity.
The United States and Canada in 1997 made it illegal to feed cows meat and bone meal made from ruminants. The feed bans in both countries do allow use of that feed for poultry and pigs.
Since both sheep and cows are ruminants, that would mean that they aren't fed to each other. At least sheep wouldn't be fed to cows, the quote doesn't state anything about sheep feed.

The correct answer is don't.
You don't happen to have a translation, do you?

Bush still has a month to push an incentive plan through. To hell with Detroit. Besideds, we know he's a fan.
Is anyone expecting Chrome to ever leave beta?
I can't think of any rpg/fantasy world where half-elves are sterile. This implies different phenotypes of the same species.
They most certainly DO sell lobster, but periodically. However, you're right, nobody buys it, because it's disgusting.
I just checked out the video on the site. It's as lame as it sounds.

For every insightful comment in Vulcan there are one hundred pointless memes in Klingon.
Now, wait and see how long it will take someone to translate the Natalie Portman meme into Klingon...
Actually, I went to engineering school because it was fun. A hell of a lot more fun than writing essays about old, pointless books.

The citizens who are today voting for one of the two major parties? You're all just as guilt for towing the line. Don't try to weasel out of it.
I think you're reading a different New Testament than I am.

Then why not vote Liberal and actually have a chance to that policy being implemented?

Lots of tracks I've never heard of, but some really good ones too. Hotel California is included! I can see that making for some fun evenings.
If you're going to try and make a joke about units at least define which "deg temp" you're referring too. There are at least four in common usage.
