Having a DreamWeaver-like split view like that was an acceptable solution for people like you and me who understand the relationship between underlying markup and rendered text. One troubling side effect, however, was that when you hit the right-arrow key to advance forward a few characters in the default WYSIWYG mode, the blinking cursor would move forward a character, pause, MOVE BACK a character or two, then move forward a character, all the while you were arrowing right. This is because WP was with each right-arrow keystroke traversing both text and unrevealed markup codes, the latter of which were hidden by default.
Non-technical users in my company thought it was bizarre that WP advanced "right or maybe left" when they hit the right-arrow key. They didn't care to hear explanations about hidden markup codes, and wanted to have just one WYSIWYG frame and get on with their jobs.
As bad as MS Word for Windows was at the time, all of our non-tech users preferred it, as it didn't demand that they understand concepts like markup, and was far more intuitive. WP was summarily dumped after a few difficult months of trying to make it work the way the users wanted.
I loathe Microsoft and their current bad-joke products as much as the next person, but back then WordPerfect for Windows was the worse product, apparently hobbled by a design requirement for backward compatibility with its installed DOS user base. MS Word for DOS was vastly inferior to WP for DOS, but Microsoft therefore had the luxury of forcing their small DOS user base to import into a new format for the Windows version, rather than maintain the old DOS doc format at the expense of usability. That strategy appears to have worked.

>Nowhere did I claim the whole community was radicalized
You might not have meant to, but you did. Both here and here, you referred to entire religious communities, or a monolithic "they". Do you not see the danger of this habit? As a member of the Christian community, do you wish to be included in the "they" of Timothy McVey, George Habash, August Kreis, the Army of God, the Lord's Resistance Army, etc.?
>And yet from these supposedly assimilated folks a disturbingly large amount of funding flows to the Middle East
From all of them? You speak as if they all acted in lock-step. Got any sources for that assertion covering billions of people?
>and they don't seem to protest much when Wahhabi hate literature starts to be distributed in their community.
There's that word "they" again. And how would you know? Why would "they" protest on the TV news? Would that reach the people to whom the message needs to reach? The Muslims that I've seen campaigning against extremism wisely avoid the media spotlight, knowing that their words would be twisted against them, and be used to whip up fear.
>This reads to me that any violent act meant to coerce a populous or government would be considered terrorism. That sounds like a reasonable definition.
I respectfully submit that while your intentions may be the very best in arriving at this concise definition, in practice the terms "violent act" and "coerce" are too ambiguous and subject to political manipulation in the public media to be of use here.
>The colonial rebels did nothing of the sort. They declared their independence from the crown by writing a letter, and Britain responded in force, as they deemed it was their right to do. War was waged, and the colonies were victorious.
It didn't stop at letter writing. The letter writing itself may not have been considered "terrorism" under present definitions, but the armed resistance certainly would have. The Zapatistas in Mexico also wrote letters to the Mexican state declaring their independence, after which they took up arms against the state. The Bush government has declared them to be "terrorists". Would you agree? If the Zapatistas are victorious, and obtain their autonomy, will they no longer be terrorists?
Menachem Begin was a member of the Irgun resistance group in pre-1948 Palestine. But after Israel's statehood was recognised and he signed a peace treaty with a neighboring country, he was granted the Nobel Peace Prize. Was he a terrorist? Did he stop being a terrorist once Israel was granted independence?
The distinction between terrorism and freedom-fighting is not semantics and word games. It's one of the most important political issues of our time, and defies all attempts to wave it away.
The GP poster was making a subtle political point. Of course the founding fathers of the US weren't terrorists. But under the definitions of the present US government, they would indeed be classified as such. Resistance groups fighting uniformed militaries are routinely described as "terrorists" by the US State and Defense Departments, even though the nearly-universally accepted definition of terrorism is the act of using violence or the threat of violence against civilians for political ends.
Louis Freeh, former director of the FBI, declared a wide range of non-violent groups to be terrorist threats to the United States, including Reclaim The Streets, Carnival Against Capitalism, and others. Never mind about the distinction between violence against civilians, and violence against uniformed troops: the FBI has gone on record to declare that Dancing Is Terrorism.

MySQL dropped BerkeleyDB support back in version 5.1.12 (24 October 2006). MyISAM is still the default engine, and for many common applications is still a good choice. They are exposed long-term over the InnoDB purchase, but only for transactional apps, and there are several good candidates available that might replace it. Oracle are in no hurry to bury a major revenue source until the strategic advantages of doing so outweigh the short-term benefits of selling InnoDB into companies that wouldn't have bought Oracle anyway.
Anybody who says the Crusades were "done to" the Muslims is insane and probably doesn't realize that at one point European cities like Vienna (Austria, not Italy) were under siege [wikipedia.org] by a Muslim armies. It was a very serious threat and having Crusades for the protection of Christendom was not an inappropriate response.
But since the Fourth Crusade I mentioned was from 1201-1204, and the last crusade (I would call Varna the last one) was 1443-44, and the Siege of Vienna took place nearly a century after this in 1529, would you therefore agree that the Crusades were not a response to the Siege of Vienna at all?
Even after its civil war, Lebanon is still 35% Christian. Syria is about 10%, Jordan about 7%. The Orthodox Church is quite mainstream there, and increasingly so here in the West.
>The old testamenteers were big on the Word, and it was only when the whole focal point of the religion moved to the happy land of Europe that things got a little softer.
Europe has never been the focal point of Christianity for hundreds of millions of Orthodox Christians in the Middle East, Russia, Asia, the Americas and Africa.
>Then the Catholic Church happened. Happens. Really, it's interesting to watch judeochristians begrudge the muslim world one good crusade.
The crusades are often thought of in the west as something that Christians did to Muslims, but in the Fourth Crusade, Catholic Christians sacked the Orthodox Christian city of Constantinople, looted and destroyed churches, murdered priests and raped nuns. The crusades are as infamous to Middle Eastern Christians as they are to Muslims. This might be one reason why the White House apologized after Bush called his war a "crusade".
Only in the USA, where centrism and moderate liberalism are routinely labelled "left-wing", could the New York Times be considered "left-wing". It suits the interests of the corporate media and the political goals of right-wing commentators to re-define terms of political alignment in this way.

Geeko was the SuSE mascot. In the boxed version, there used to be various Geeko-branded swag included: stickers, badges, etc. When Novell bought SuSE, they tried to Get Hip to What The Kids Were doing With Linux , but that all seems to have gone quiet now: cartoonish mascots don't win you contracts with banks.
So Geeko was banished to OpenSuSE.org, to make way for the new Mono-ized Clippy from their new pals in Redmond. Netcraft confirms it.
I used to be the internal LAN support at a large multinational hardware vendor. Most of the company was on Mac desktops and Unix servers, but the accounts department felt they were mavericks who could run their own IT, so they opted for DOS, Lotus 1-2-3 and a Netware server. OK guys, if you think you can do it better, then maybe you can. Go for it.
They also figured that server backups were probably a good idea, since they routinely handled millions of pounds of transactions per day in that one office alone.
And since they were accountants, they naturally picked the cheapest backup solution they could dig up, which was a 40-dollar backup box that used VHS video cassettes, underneath a beancounter's desk, right by his foot. I shit you not: every few weeks, it would occur to him that a backup hadn't been done in a while, so he'd shove the VHS cassette into the backup box with his foot, then nudge the start button with his foot, and return to counting beans. The cassette would pop out when it was finished, and that was proof positive for them of a job done properly. They never even bought a second VHS cassette. Amazingly, the thing never stretched to snapping point, but it was undoubtedly unusable for restores (it never occurred to them to do test restores), making it genuinely much, much worse than useless.
At the office on the other side of town was the accounts department for another division. They also used VHS backups, but felt that doing backups was a bit beneath them really, so instead they had the office cleaner shove the VHS cassette into the 40-dollar backup box next to the office door every night on her way out.
One night she was home with the flu, and hadn't left instructions for her replacement to do the "backup". Sure enough, the server crashed that night, and the stale backup wouldn't restore. The poor cleaner was immediately fired, but not the asshats who delegated mission-critical IT chores to a cleaner, on dimestore reject equipment.
I felt duty-bound to tell these fucking morons that they were really making a false savings on backup equipment, and needed to buy real backup gear, with someone trained to monitor the state of the scheduled nightly backups and do scheduled test-restores. This company was pulling in 13 billion US dollars in revenue a year, so 1500 dollars for an internal tape drive and a copy of Cheyenne to protect hundreds of millions of dollars worth of data sounded like a pretty unbeatable deal to me.
Not to them though. "You IT people", quoth a senior beancounter, shaking his head, when I took the purchase requisition to his desk for signature. "It's always more money for the latest damn thing, isn't it."
Cheapest of all would have been for them to simply use the central Unix servers, which were run properly with tested and reliable disaster recovery by experienced sysadmins. I tried explaining that there'd be no change to their DOS PCs, and they'd still have the same F: G: and H: drives, with no visible change to their working environment. I even offered to pay for the new client software. They'd save money, and get vastly better care of precious data.
The reply: "Heh heh heh! And then next year there'll be some reason why we all have to get rid of 1-2-3. And after that there'll be some reason why we have to get rid of DOS. No thanks! Heh heh heh! You guys never quit, do you!"

Around 40 - 50% of cardiac transplants are performed to fix damage caused by cardiomyopathy, which usually originates from a virus, and is not related to lifestyle.
Similarly, some heart illnesses are hereditary, and not preventable by reducing fat, stress, etc.
Prevention, where available, is certainly better than cure, but let's be careful not to accuse all patients with cardiac damage of causing the damage themselves through bad choices.

The Chinese govt also maintains an official anti-Falun Gong website, though it's unreachable from here at the moment. They also have some articles putting their side of the story here.
I'm not too keen on Falun Gong personally, but at least they're not chucking anyone in prison for disagreeing with them.
To this day the Eastern Orthodox Church does not consider it part of the Canon.
I was baptised Orthodox, and I can assure you that that's not true. It's considered by the Orthodox Church as part of the Canon, but is not read as part of Divine Liturgy. A PBS documentary once mistakenly claimed the Orthodox Church doesn't consider it part of the canon, and this mistake has been widely repeated ever since. Walk into any Orthodox church this morning, and have a look. Most English-speaking Orthodox churches use the Revised Standard Version with Apocrypha, which includes the book of Revelation.
There's an Orthodox monastery above the place on the Isle of Patmos in Greece where St. John the Divine received his Revelation, and the spot where St. John is said to have written it is a site of frequent Orthodox pilgrimage.
The Orthodox Church teaches that Revelations is a divinely inspired book, but should not be taken as a literal account of future events.
In fact, the Book of Revelations was a controversial addition to the early Bible, and several Bishops argued against including it in the canon due to the difficulty of interpreting it, and hence, its potential for abuse--particularly the type of abuse so typical of fundamentalists, who keep claiming that the end times are upon us. Other portions of the Bible specifically warn against doing this, because only God knows the time when the world will end.
Neither did Martin Luther:
"About this book of the Revelation of John...I miss more than one thing in this book, and it makes me consider it to be neither apostolic nor prophetic...I can in no way detect that the Holy Spirit produced it. Moreover he seems to me to be going much too far when he commends his own book so highly-indeed, more than any of the other sacred books do, though they are much more important-and threatens that if anyone takes away anything from it, God will take away from him, etc. Again, they are supposed to be blessed who keep what is written in this book; and yet no one knows what that is, to say nothing of keeping it. This is just the same as if we did not have the book at all. And there are many far better books available for us to keep...My spirit cannot accommodate itself to this book. For me this is reason enough not to think highly of it: Christ is neither taught nor known in it" (Luther, M. Preface to the Revelation of St. John, 1522).
Luther didn't think that the Catholic Church was infallible in determining canonicity, and rejected Revelations, and the Epistles of James (he called it an "epistle of straw"), Jude and Hebrews. Yet the Protestantism that he was instrumental in founding still fiercely defends the Catholic/Orthodox Canon of the Bible, including the Book of Revelation. On the other hand, they reject the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches' teachings on it, and on much else besides.
I haven't entirely worked my own beliefs yet, but this contradiction never made any sense to me.
