Hah, nice to know I am not alone either. Fortunately it occurred to me to try CTRL-P to get the print menu, and I just used that until I got round to investigating further.
Disclaimer: I am only a very casual user of MS office products.
Personally I use vi for things it does well for me (mainly working on remote servers, but also ad-hoc edits on local files), and mainly emacs for developing, though I happily use IDEs if they do the job better for me. And OS X's notepad equivalent (Textedit) for notetaking.
Interestingly I was getting a fairly standard plain-text Apache error page on a few page accesses, which gave me the impression something was screwy with DNS.
Same here. Between 2005 and 2009 I had no need to build a new PC (or even mess about with the innards of recently built boxes), and had to spend a couple of evenings familiarising myself with all the new acronyms and what they meant. AGP, IDE: all but gone. Yet more ram types. Mysterious new slots, with good old PCI going the way of ISA (relegated to a couple of token slots at the bottom). So many "cores" to think about. Gigs of RAM cheap as chips. Etc. etc. It was almost like being a time-traveller who's been zapped a few years into the future.
Still amazed by how many boards still have floppy connectors though.
Anyway, I cast around, worked out what would work with what, and put together something from parts positioned mainly around the "sweet point" (maybe US$500 for parts and a bit more for a nice case) and it all works. Blazing fast, but off the top of my head now couldn't say exactly what I put in there; a post-Pentium Intel with a couple of cores, and maybe a P45 chipset? And a cheap graphics card (something NVIDIA) which works (almost) fine with my dual-monitor setup.
... according to Jeff Barr, Amazon's lead Web Evangelist, who retweeted a report to that effect without clarification and confirmed it in later tweets.'
The midwife had checked Emma earlier in the day but contractions started up again at about 8pm so we called the midwife to come back. But then everything happened so quickly I realized Emma was going to give birth
That maybe fine for you, but here in Japan the Internet is basically one big LAN.
So basically we have so much of the stuff tentacles are poking out of our USB ports.
What that does mean for us, here in the land of Hello Kitty, is faster access to a range of porn
featuring fewer celaphods and more girls with non-pixelized genitals.
I live in a city, often carry a laptop around for work reasons, decide to pop in to see a film on the way home (or better, have a date) and what else am I going to do with the laptop other than leave it in the bag I am carrying it round in?
In other news, Unlimited IT has just announced plans to test whether a shark with a frickin' laser attached to its head can transmit data faster than a 17,000 km underwater fiber optic cable.
You can roll your own object database system easily even with full on transactions and concurrency support in under a man month.
OK, go on then.

From the end of TFA:
Yes, it was built entirely out of 140-character messages, but the sum total of those tweets added up to something truly substantive, like a suspension bridge made of pebbles.
Yes... (backs away slowly...) I'm sure a suspension bridge made of pebbles is just what society needs, now you drive over it while I stand there with the camcorder and a direct line to YouTube.
So, "Attributor constantly scans billions of web pages to find copies of your content across the Internet"? Apparently at least partially in stealth mode. Me, I've long been tired of the myriad bots whose owners believe they have a legitimate reason to trample all over my site for their commercial gain... Haven't seen this one yet but I am sure it will get a "friendly" reception when it arrives.
What about people like me who can't seem to get the hang of the darn things? (I personally wouldn't be surprised if they're some kind of elaborate hoax...)

What are your thoughts on Calpis Zero Refresh?

Ooops, forgot to add the smiley ;).

There, that wasn't so blinkered was it ;).
Better still, use vi to start building your inscrutable guru reputation early.
Nowhere to be found except for blogs and the not-yet paywalled Times of London, England.

Back to normal now.

That "rough terrain" is clearly the surface of Mars.
If you look closely enough you can even see the canals!

Yes, but then they'd have to route the cable through the Panama Canal.

Just pining for the fjords.
650Gb of data? There's your problem!
Keep it below 640Gb and everything will be fine.

If it's coiled the right way, I'm sure it will be.
OK, go on then.

Could you rephrase this in something approaching normal English? Thanks.
Anything else we need to be worrying about?

Well they certainly make me go cross-eyed looking at all the pretty colours.
