Sorry but it is BS.
No schools DON'T buy single copies of programs, but you can be damned sure they aren't gonna do something stupid such as purchasing site licenses for a suite that doesn't get used there. They get site licenses for word only pal. Then the other faculty and staff get full suites which are part of the main universities deal. The law school is supported by its own INTERNAL staff of which I used to be. No, they aren't going to just install the suite everywhere....shit each school decides for itself what type of site licnesing it even WANTS to do...per user or per seat etc...Putting extra crap that students don't need or use on cluster computers just results in more things that can go wrong. BTW, law students are the only ones ALLOWED to use the pcs I am talking about..the faculty and staff get totally separate pcs preloaded with the full shebang...so there's your experience to the contrary...btw...I don't argue things UNLESS I have personal experience.
I haven't said anything someone else didn't tell him back when he was in school. I don't know about you, I'd rather be smart, making 85K a year, then dumb and making more.
BTW, most html pros on windows use notepad. I take it you need pictures eh?
http://www.law.syr.edu/
there's one done in notepad, have fun...
If you don't believe me, ask Network Computings editor Dave Molta, he's only a parking lot away from the site's school listed above lol.
Just about, yep. I've seen it both ways but it's usually a new linux user complaining about something, then all the linux users chime in and basically say "duh" to them. BUT HERE's the major point. As a linux user...if you can't use word then you need help as linux is by far, a more complex OS to setup/use/configure then windows. I can see windumb users having linux issues such as above, but I find it laughable that the oh so smarter linux crowd doesn't have the first clue on how to USE word, but of course they DO have enough info to debate its worth...
That's like me bitching about features on motorcycle just because I've sat on it...
Use bold text all you want but your plain wrong. If you were right then major universities including law schools wouldn't have dropped them for word. The law students CERTAINLY have no use for excel or access so there goes your bundling BS on top of the fact you can get it stand alone...more comments from the uninformed peanut gallery please
Nah, the user should have half a brain and at least scan over the manual so they learn how easy it is to turn the feature off in the first place....bunch of whining babies....I don't know how to do something...it must be SOMEONE ELSES fault!!
Ya, right, like Puffys remake of the other Zep song with the BETTER guitar riff..It wasn't nifty, it sucked...thinking a riff makes a whole song is plain incorrect and close minded
Because notepad is too hard for Mr. Dvor-crack. I've been reading his articles from time to time for over 5 years, the guy should have been out of a job awhile ago
PLEASE.....VBA screwing up was prolly just VBA screwing up as macro viruses seem to have been all but eradicated. We aren't seeing them anywhere near the large numbers we used too. BTW, we're talking Word here, not works.
PS. Dvorak is a moron just so you an everyone else knows.
Learn how to use the program first pal. You just created an entire post contradicting yourself. Yeah, you can't edit this stuff, until I learned how, then you could....this is the typical bs that causes windows programs to get a worse rep then they already deserve. It's like a linux user not thinking something is doable, then the/. crowd says: "a duh, of course you can do that, you do it this way....etc etc..same thing here..rtfm and move along
Umm, yes they DO. They just don't do advertise it to the general consumer which is what everyone else arguing around your point seems to only be thinking about. Lets see, 6 Billion people on the planet, what do you think the stats are for military use vs. target shooting? You think that contractors don't advertise to the military how well their guns can kill? You're dreaming, and armed forces use doesn't make it ok as there are too many other "armed forces" who do not use their weapons for protection, but soley for death and extermination...wake up you dreamers.
ya, mac 10s are for target shooting right? There are plenty of guns who have no other use than killing another human..you don't target shoot with an uzi.
Lets do the reviews again, this time aiming at Amazon and Penguin...if nothing else maybe it will alert their non tech savvy buyers to what kind of shit they pull with reviews..
I said some idiot, not you, and you did write the fist asshole reply....asshole. You make stupid people look smart lol....go back to your LOTR and acne cream kid.
Forgot the most important part here:
"next time you read that someone doesn't know something you do"
Here's an idea...don't open your mouth or post something when you don't know what you are talking about in the first place. That would be your first step on the road to adult-hood
Umm, nah, I think I'll stick with my original post which I knew would upset YOU into this back and forth posting. It's so easy to piss of a slashdotter with limited arguing skills, all you have to do is call them dumbass. I'm laughing about the whole thing. If I was THAT upset, I'd probably use worse words for name calling like fuckhead, fuckface, asslicker, etc...but you see I pretty much stuck to dumbass and retard.
See, my original post is what started this all. It was a reply to some idiot making an obviously erroneous statement. You were wrong there and no matter how you try to spin education, age, or any of the other topics that had nothing to do with it, you are still wrong. You can play it online...so you are still a dumbass who was wrong in the first place...
btw....OMFG!!! 2 letter difference!! Holy shit, really makes my whole point about it moot now...that extra letter really throws everyone off doesn't it? What, no witty comebacks on obtuse? You looked it up didn't ya? I thought so...
Since I'm having so much fun, lets say that every single one of your points is true. You would still be wrong and a dumbass for the incorrect statement about playing it online.
Next time you want to argue about something, please please please try to stay on topic..I know it's hard when you have ADHD but there are new meds for you now.
You argue with dogs....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...or are you referring to a significant other now?
This is just too easy. Let's have another go at it:
"1. "basically after a LOTR character". Funny, but not close."
Funny, one letter off, can't be much closer without actually having the EXACT name.
"2. First declarative sentence means absolutely nothing. Total confusion."
Not writing a paper, you got my point every time, hence your replies. Further evidence that you were wrong in the first place comes from you diverting to other subject matters like age, education etc...classic sign of losing an argument
"3. I never claimed to be correct, only to suspect certain truths. Given your increasingly hostile, incomprehensible replies, I suspect I am closer to the truth than you care to admit."
Any more outright lies? What are you arguing for if not to prove your point is correct? Again, try to focus on the topic, which you have now totally lost and instead you are diverting to multiple topics. You know drug addicts do the same thing when they are cornered in a conversation..funny.
"4. "another" is quite different from "the other", which is what you said originally. "the other" is generally assumed to be Kerry, which you obviously thought."
Umm no, it's what I knew you would think because you obviously only know single, most used definitions for words. I, on the other hand, know more meanings for the same word and knew I would have to paint a picture for your dumbass, hence the definition. Again, I'm right by definition, and you?
"5. "Obtuse ass". What does the angle of my ass have to do with anything?"
Again, your lack of literacy shows. You go look up the definition because you're obviously still thinking high school math....again...dumbass
"6. Pretty fucking funny that your cut/pasted definition of "other" is exactly what I was goofing on you about. Reading comprehension is apparently not your strong suit."
No, it's not yours, that's why I knew you needed it, because idiots like yourself try to argue against the dictionary..please refer to my reply on #4 for more info..feel free to take notes and keep them for future reference.
"7. "a duh you fucktard". More etymological brilliance. An instant classic. Well done."
How did I know you'd grab for that easy one...ah yes, because it's all you have...
And remember kiddie:
Arguing on the internet is like the special olympics, even if you win you are still retarded..good luck!
yeah, who's using the 1337 speak out of the two of us? Who names himself basically after a LOTR character? If I am speaking of the legality of a using a crack then the fact I already obtained it legal is given else it wouldn't be a legal use dumbass. You see crack and jump to conclusions that it must be for illegal use. Don't confuse yourself and your friends with others. Just because YOU don't use them legally.
I don't have to make my paragraphs all nicey nice and proper because I'm not writing a paper and you certainly can't talk about proper writing skills at all. Your insistence that there's usually only one reason speaks volumes to your little world in your head where your conclusions MUST be right because that's what you THINK. Sorry, the facts contradict you and all you have to do is read any other slashdot discussions on this topic.
If you aren't voting for "Bush" then you are voting for "another guy", that guy by definition, would be the "other" guy. Here's the literal definition for your obtuse ass:
other ( P ) Pronunciation Key (thr)
adj.
Being the remaining one of two or more: the other ear.
Being the remaining ones of several: His other books are still in storage.
Different from that or those implied or specified.
There, now you've had your lesson and maybe you can learn what words mean before commenting on how they are put together.
NO WAY!? There are more than 2 people this year!? You do realize how stupid you sound there right? EVERY YEAR THERE ARE MORE THAN 2 PEOPLE...a duh you fucktard. My teenage years are almost a decade behind me...too bad yours aren't. Go back to the shire you poor poor child, maybe Gandalf needs your help!
Damnit, in NY she wouldn't have even been able to press charges as 17 is the consent age now in this state...well I'm only too happy to see her book with 1 star for most of 200+reviews.
Not at all, it's annoying to hear the same stereotypical bullshit. I gotta be older than you because I at least am able to comprehend all the different options...you on the other hand, are not. You have your belief and because YOU believe it, it MUST be true. That is an extremely immature attitude and one that grown ups don't share. Anyone who actually thinks about issues can think of tons of alternative viewpoints...that's actually a better and more mature attitude...ask anyone...also, who said shit about cracking a downloaded game? I talked about cracking the store bought cd, but since you are in your little "I know everything" moment, you missed it. Keep swinging...oh and the Bush reference was a trap...ya, he'll pay off the right people and win again probably..cause he lost last time...but you'll vote for the other guy...a MUCH better choice lmao....again..idiocy in action.

Also, notice the difference I make. Not knowing how to use something IS different than just being miffed about a bug.

That pics been around for a few years now, glad the /. crowd finally found it....
oh yeah, I can see my house from here.
It's already been done by plenty of people including Carrier UTC who also have some with bluetooth capabilities...
cause he'd of seen this story posted numerous times here already
