Can Scribus-1.3.3.6 : 1) import an existing pdf form and add fillable fields to it ? and/or 2) import the.ps file from which an existing pdf was created (with Ghostscript) ?
1) No, Scribus can import PDF, but they are imported as images currently. The only way to edit a PDF form is with Adobe Acrobat full version. Scribus can create PDF forms without a problem and it is very versatile.
2) Scribus can import a wide variety of EPS and PS files with most content imported as native Scribus objects.
"if you look at the statements of the Libertarians during the Bush administration I think you will find that we criticized Bush for many of the same reasons that we now criticize Obama."
Bullshit
Look, this isn't an argument.... it's just contradiction.
That wasn't necessarily RAH, that was one of his characters.
While you might already be aware others might not. That was the same character. "Lazarus Long" ne Woodrow Wilson Smith aka a bunch of other nom de guerre.
The original quote is from "Time Enough For Love" in the interim section "Notebooks of Lazurus Long".
That being said, based on philosophies espoused in his other writings, it is probably a fairly accurate representation of his meat-space attitude.
After all, specialization is what got our society where it is today - without it we would all still be living the agrarian lifestyle.
As pointed out in earlier posts, it is likely our progress is more attributable to polymath efforts. Subsequent maintenance is where the specialists come in and step on their toes.
So how does this work, is Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson less ignorant than most, because a larger quantity has been sequestered (would he be helped by "cap and trade"?) Or more ignorant because he has 2 outbuildings chock full of ignorance? In the words of Yul Brenner "Is a puzzlement!".
Key concepts: variance, discipline, win goals, loss limits, betting strategies, money management.
If you do not understand and practice them you will lose more money and more frequently then you should.
Short term variance can make you a winner. Betting strategies (Fibonacci progressions etc) and money management (you buy in for an "afford to lose" amount, you don't pull more money out of your pocket or go to the ATM) can leverage those variances. Win goals (20% is a reasonable sum, so for a $300 buy-in if you are up $60, you are done) and loss limits (50% is reasonable, "all of it" is not) and the discipline to adhere to them. Statistically, if you are at a craps table more than an hour you are probably going to be a loser, most variances are SHORT term.
I never really understood how it could be considered legitimate
to kick out counters.
Oh, it gets worse. There is a craps player in the Midwest, "Dave" who is dedicated to making a profit and is rumored to have stayed at a table for about twenty hours and been down around $14000 until he managed to come back and make a $500 profit.
He NEVER TOUCHES THE DICE! Just bets "Dont Come" and lays the odds on the inside numbers. House advantage on these bets is approximately 1.41%, since he doesn't lay the outside numbers (On the 4 and 10 you lay 2 to get 1, can put a strain on a bank roll in the short run) it is actually a touch higher, I'm to lazy to calculate it.
Because of his dedication and discipline to walk away a winner, the gentleman is barred from Harrah's midwest properties.
Don't expect to ever get a fair deal from a casino.
Actually, no. You may in most jurisdictions deduct from your winnings, your losses.
In the great state of Illinois, your winnings are taxed in their entirety, with no use of losses to offset.
Do you really think a major publication like Playboy, a major network like Fox, and a major retail chain like 7-11 would launch a campaign like this without doing at least 30 seconds of trivial demographic research?
Oh yes, in a NY minute. Remember this is "marketing", not rocket surgery, no need for all that time wasting research and verification, just pull some numbers out of the air (or a nether orifice) and they arre rarin' to go..

Most switches allow you to map a port to a another port for monitoring. you can also use a physical tap.
I haven't done network forensics in quite awhile, I wonder if there is a plug-in for snort that would automatically step through the switch ports, moving to the next one every NN seconds in a round robin fashion using a SSH or console connection.
IANAP (Parent). However, I have been in the presence of family with young children. From your normal position in/at your recliner/computer/stove, I defy you to outrun an ambulatory child transitioning from feeding mode to entertainment mode in a beeline for the player. I have no proof but am reasonably certain that they use a transporter to get from A to B, as it is the only explanation for their arrival at the destination so quickly. You are far more likely to exceed the speed of light coming down a staircase than to intercept that child, especially if your intent is to "clean them up" as that seems to double or triple the already mind-boggling velocity of their travel.

Because time spent in the basement is essentially worth nothing.
After years of peace and serenity, I now have Jesus Christ Superstar reverberating in my head again, you insensitive clod.

Kinda like Microsoft software.

Only an insensitive clod resorts to that sort of name-calling.

Calling it "security theater" gives it too much respectability and implies a venue of similar classiness, it is really "security vaudeville".
Depends on what your definition of "is" is.
Had me worried for a moment, if it was elegant batshit ridiculous I am sure it would be a serious problem.

Wow, somebody who agrees with my opinion that people who go to malls are assholes.
