It doesn't have to be "just like Microsoft Word's" but it does have to be something one can use as a primary editing interface. The "Navigator" is nothing at all like the concept of an Outline mode. The big lie of WYSIWYG word processors is the WYSIWYG part - if you're doing anything more than a single page you don't _want_ to be manually placing text and changing fonts and so on, you're more concerned about structure.
Outline mode allows you to work with the document in semantic sections, rather than as a big blob of text. It helps you get your ideas down and figure out what you're going to say before actually filling in the details.
Copying MS Word's Outline mode would be a start, a very poor start - as their implementation is hardly perfect - but a start nonetheless.
Ahh - you see, my definition of "career suicide" is - you lose your job and any chance of getting a similar one. Yours is "you probably won't get into management".
I don't _want_ to get in to management. I've already advanced as far as I possibly can within my company - a senior R&D programmer (having advanced litterly from the bottom - doing casual handline envelope stuffing jobs). I don't see getting into senior management as "advancing my career", I define it as "Starting an entirely different career, and one I'm not suited to, telecomuting or no telecomuting". But in anycase, I don't believe the telecomuting would necesarily stop that - I'm pretty heavily immersed in the culture of the company - I've been here ten years, and believe I have earnt the sort of level of respect and recognition required for a move into management if that were my goal (and if I had any actual talent for it).
Maybe five day a week telecomuting might put the breaks on advancement a little (I personally do two to three), but it's more about personality than face time. You just have to be the sort of person that people notice - and ensure that when they do notice you, that there's good things to see.
You did say it was just your opininion, but if you want anyone to give your opinion any weight, you're going to need to give a little more than just the opinion itself.
Why should it be "career suicide?" In fact, how do you define "Career suicide" in the first place?
Regularly scheduled meetings can be a good thing, as long as only people who need to be there are there, and they're kept short and relevant (which is easier when there's fewer people anyway).
The ordinary programming staff shouldn't need to be at a daily planning meeting for instance - their manager should be on top of things enough. Similarly, each individual salesperson shouldn't be present - their manager knows which accounts and jobs are the most important without seeing it through a commision tainted lense.
Javascript has always been object oriented - it was influenced by Self, which is effectively a classless implementation of Smalltalk. Just because you don't understand Javascript, doesn't mean it's not object oriented.
Javascript is a pretty awesome language once you strip out all the web browser DOM stuff. I've used it as an embedded scripting language in my own applications and was very surprised by its capabilities.
Java is linked at runtime. According to the FSF, linking to a subclass at runtime counts as a derived work. That only shows that the FSF has no idea how java works, either that, or you've misunderstood them. Sure, at an abstract conceptual level a subclass is a derivative - that's the point, after all. But copyright doesn't apply to the abstract idea of a "class", it applies to the actual creation put down in tangible form - that is, the source code and the resulting binary from compilation. If you're not distributing the binary or the source, and you never used a line of the source in your work, copyright doesn't even apply to you, so the GPL is irrelevant.
you know, in a lot of countries, underage drinking isn't actually a crime. providing a minor with alcohol is, but the act of drinking it is not.
not to mention that in most of those countries, they figure that if you're old enough to vote, go to prison and die for your country (not necessarily in that order), then your old enough to drink yourself into oblivion too.
The only copyright I am against is for music(being able to distribute it freely mind you), and just because I'm against that doesn't mean I oppose the copyright law in general. why? Is music somehow a less worthy art form than literature and the visual arts? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming it's not just that your iPod needs filling.
I can understand supporting copyright. I can understand wanting general copyright reform. I can even understand being uniformly against copyright, but the idea that somehow music shouldn't be covered by copyright, while it's ok for every other form of artistic expression is bizarre.
There actually isn't anything about the concept of reusing code that implies object orientation, and nothing about inherent in OOP that requires reuse.
It's quite possible that we have different standards for obesity.
We definitely do have plenty of obese people here, but from a few short weeks in the USA, I'd say that an Australian "Obese" person would probably only be called "slightly overweight" in the USA.
We've always used the Inspirons, but I'm considering getting a Precision next time I'm up for a new one... (Currently using an Inspiron 9300 and get 2-3 hours from it)
If the only users that use desktops are the ones that want 3 or more monitors and 10k RPM drives with Firewire 800 support, then that pretty much proves the original point - that it's no surprise that Intel is focusing on the notebook chips first.
It's funny how often Slashdotters get so carried away with showing us all how special and ub3r l33t they are that they completely lose site of the point that's being made.
Australia is the name of the continent that most of The Commonwealth of Australia is on.
Australasia and Oceania are both pretty much equivalent loosely defined terms for the general regions of Australia, and New Zealand and the surrounding nations. Australasia is probably a little more specifically Australia and New Zealand, but neither terms have official, standardised definitions as far as I can tell.
From all I can find on Fat Cat and Friends, the cat was in fact clothed, and it was taken off air because it was confusing and of dubious educational value. BTW, "taken off air" in this context does not mean censored - it means they stopped making it.
1. You apparently have no idea what a constitution actually is. 2. Australia has a constitution.
A constitution is a document the describes rules under which a governing entity operates. It is not a synonym for a document granting free speech rights. The constitution of the USA happens to have such a clause, but it is certainly not a defining feature of constitutions in general.
The article contains nothing but the attorney general ranting a bit on a talk radio show, and the fact that a crackpot MP has introduced a bill into NSW _state_ parliament. No one would back one of Fred Niles's bills on basic principal.

You need a better laptop. I use mine outside all the time, even in the bright Australian sun.

Trillian doesn't magically bridge networks though, so there's still no point in creating an MSN account if all your friends use ICQ

What you describes comes into the "copyright reform" category, and still applies equally to more than just music.
So I still maintain that the GP's call to abolish copyright only for music is absurd.
Is music somehow a less worthy art form than literature and the visual arts?
I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming it's not just that your iPod needs filling.
I can understand supporting copyright. I can understand wanting general copyright reform. I can even understand being uniformly against copyright, but the idea that somehow music shouldn't be covered by copyright, while it's ok for every other form of artistic expression is bizarre.

That's not a lot of use if this is a hardware problem.
$600 million _more_ (with no costs attached), which means $1.8 Billion, which broadly speaking is "almost two billion dollars"
If you'd read the article, you'd have seen that no one actually made that claim.
It was simply saying "Now that graphics are better, the fact that the AI sucks is becoming more apparent"
What's the battery life like?

English does not have an e-acute, so cliche is a perfectly valid transliteration.

Which country are you talking about?
From all I can find on Fat Cat and Friends, the cat was in fact clothed, and it was taken off air because it was confusing and of dubious educational value. BTW, "taken off air" in this context does not mean censored - it means they stopped making it.
Do you have sources for any of your claims?
Two things
1. You apparently have no idea what a constitution actually is.
2. Australia has a constitution.
A constitution is a document the describes rules under which a governing entity operates. It is not a synonym for a document granting free speech rights. The constitution of the USA happens to have such a clause, but it is certainly not a defining feature of constitutions in general.

that is not the usage people are using.
They are using "price point" to say "price".
And it sounds really, really stupid.
Just "price" is fine, and it's less typing too!
No, just no.
