The USA has no option of going to war. As soon as the USA would attack North Korea, Seul would be turned to rubble. South Koreans are effectively hostages.
Sorry, but the public has been running navigation systems for centuries. You can tax boat owners, if you don't like the idea that YOUR taxes are being spent on that. That would be a fair deal.
The downside is that the document can screwed up when I open it on another computer because "it has been formatted for another printer". I had this problem several times. Before calling someone a troll, pay some attention to what he says.
This is funny, but it touches a more general problem in science. If somebody comes from an exotic country (Wolszczan hasn't, he's from Poland) or has an unspeakable name, his/her discoveries can be overlooked. How many Western mathematicians and physicist know and remember that Lie derivative has been invented by Polish mathematician lebodziski?
Don't forget page formatting, font formatting, paragraph formatting, printer settings, etc. etc.
WTF should I save printer settings into my document??? It's illogical. Besides, I can generate A LOT of formatting in LaTeX and still save a lot of text into 20KB of uncompressed ASCII text file.
Comparison is invalid, because 1) Word documents grow in size even without embedding graphics and 2) LaTeX always stores inserted.eps files externally.
You can use kile, LyX or even xemacs's AUCTeX mode, which make such things really useful. BTW, it you want to type really quick then using the mouse to make a bulleted list is an obstacle.
We have the opportunity to inspect Mars as it is now, and to study its evolution. Why should we try to cover Mars's real history with our planned activity?
Maybe the bank's not at fault legally. But it should not be possible to transfer funds by breaking into someone's computer. To make a transfer to o foreign account (that is, not my housing administration, power company, cable TV etc.), I need to type in a one-time password. I have them printed out and keep them near my desk at home. So unless someone breaks into my house, nobody is going to take my money from me (unless the bank website is compromised, but it's their problem then). Some banks even require a OTP to login.
Have you ever been to the library? You can read the books, but not carry them out. Just because something is technically possible, it's not legit. Too much of "Wprost" and "Najwyszy Czas", perhaps?
This is true if you run a spy network in a foreign country. But running a network of paid snitches in your own backyard, you don't have to worry too much about papers leaking out -- I do not recollect any Polish oppositionists stealing secret service archives before 1989.
It was a specialty of communists, to put ideology above individual human beings. "Masses are everything, one person means nothing" -- an old communist motto.
Wildstein had the right to read the list and use the info in his journalist research, not to carry it from the IPN's library. Those are two different things. There is also the issue of privacy protection -- he distributed the names of 240,000 people, most of them who are not public figures. This pictures him as an irresponsible man.
Wildstein publicly said that he doesn't care if his actions harm our currently working intelligence agencies. It's equivalent to an American saying "I don't care if I put CIA/FBI agent's lives in danger". Wildstein is a fanatic, who puts grand ideas above individual people. In this aspect, he's as communist as you could possibly be.
But it's not about communist secret service officers. They have good jobs, started their companies or draw good pensions. Except for those which did the most horrendous things, like murder, it's part of the deal we made with the communists in 1989. They gave away the power peacefully, in return they were not harassed or punished for every wrong and immoral thing they did. In this situation, isn't it a bit hypocritical to go after people broken by the secret service and turned into snitches, if we let the main actors go peacefully?
Polish ops now are not similar to PRL's (name of Poland as a communist state) special ops. They don't need that much informers. But rumors are that the list contains the names of active military intelligence officers, also working abroad. If this is true, they're in deep sh..t.

Communism does not "share everything". The power lies in party's hands and is not shared with the masses.

Case of Slebodzinski is different, because it was he who named Lie derivatives by this name.
And yes, many discoveries made for example by Bolzano were attributed to later people (like Darboux theorem). Also to Euler, probably.
Slashcode ate my diacritics, the abovementioned mathematicians name should be Slebodzinski in ASCII (as not in Latin-2).

It is important to know what you are speaking about.
Well, then compressing these docs shouldn't be a problem and maybe they will fit on a diskette afterwards.
.doc files are a memory dump from Word.
I remember reading somewhere that

1. My wife's and my experience with Matlab shows it likes to leak memory. We were both runnin old 5.2 version, so maybe they improved it later.
2. Comparing iTunes with Matlab is a bit broad, isn't it?

I invite you to visit Eastern Europe, where I live, and see for yourself how people are still trying to atone for the damage.

I'm a Pole and don't find posting on that topic arrogant.

Not quite. When you run a network of paid informers, you must have some accounting, otherwise you'd be paying through the nose.
