Where I work our passwords must be 8 characters. I find a website with 8 or 9 letter words like this one (http://www.math.utoronto.ca/jjchew/scrabble/lists/common-8.html) from there I randomly scroll through the list and stop... then I find a word I feel I can remember. Then I do the usual, replace some letters with characters and numbers, capitalize one letter and I am ready to rock with one very. This way the word has nothing to do with you, cannot be guessed by knowing you since you have picked a word at random.
This may work for you since even if you have to put your password up in your cubicle it can be the non-modified word and you can bury it in a sentence if need be.
It's a joke. Watch the movie Office Space...
Learn it, Know it, Live it.
Bob Slydell: I'll be honest with you, I love his music, I do, I'm a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman".
Ahh yes... making someone watch a movie is just like killing 10s of thousands of Kurds with biological weapons. Look, I hated and still do hate GWB and his band of evil minions, my friends call me a flaming liberal and what happened in Abu Ghraib was reprehensible. But you actually expect people to agree with you that making him watch a cartoon of himself being gay and in love with Satan is some higher form of torture?
BTW, my brother is in the military. You have an issue with how a war is being run... look to the top. Remember all those people are standing in the line of fire because they are ordered to and are looking to protect our freedoms. I'm no war hawk, I feel we should be out of Iraq... nay... never should have been there. But have some level of respect for the people that will and do put their lives on the line in than name of your freedom to bash them.
He downloaded essentially stolen property. So if someone stole, for example, the next Clancy or Stephen King novel in unfinished form.. it should be OK for me to possess a copy since I am not copying it?
Sorry... IMHO, this logic doesn't make sense... especially when the reporter is publishing opinions on the film that can have a direct financial impact on the file.
Not when you are trying to capture a solar flare as it is occurring in 3D (which is the point of the project). If you use two cameras you get the images of the event at the same instance where as you approach would at best give you an extrapolated image and not a true image.
Was going to make a point about Apple but it seemed trollish. Apple was at least open and enthusiastic about outside companies developing software for their platform. But short of the iPod I wonder if we'd be looking at the same thing with Apple. Apple always had the fallback of having made a ton of money in the 80s and early 90s that kept them from being where SGI is now... Well that and Steve Jobs.
They made great looking boxes with damn good hardware inside and even better software loaded. Problem was it held on too long to an antiquated model which was control everything from the box to the OS to the software on the OS.
I hope they can bounce back... but it doesn't look or sound good.
True, but to say that proofreading and then marking those items isn't tedious I think is a stretch. Necessary evil, sure, but fun? Absolutley not. Show me a man or woman who enjoys proofreading and doing markup work on a large document and I'll show you a person that needs therapy.
As for maintaining your train of thought... many people write as if they were speaking in their head. Initially this is the best way to get your thoughts on paper, so to speak. Perhaps losing the train of thought isn't the wording I should have used, but rather I should have said, slow down the creative process.
Last point would be that should you index a word that gets edited out by the proofer ends up wasting your effort. Indexing, IMHO, should be done to the final product.
I have indexed in Word and other programs. I would have to say that you are so wrong when it comes to the ease in which one can index. It is tedious and boring. The point of an index is to index keywords that are in useful in some way rather than marking the word in general. Nothing ticks me off more than using an index and going to a page to spend 10 minutes looking for the one instance of a keyword that is utterly useless in the context of what I or anyone else is looking for. Indexing is about context. It is to guide you to the useful parts rather than just the random words in the text.
Indexing is boring and tedious work because it is subjective and each entry you mark has to be done in relation to its context for it to be remotely useful.
What you say about Table of Contents is true, you can go by styles... but if you were to do the same in regards to indexing you'd have to change the style for each index instance as you are typing... hardly conducive to the creative process.
The problem I see with Goggle Print is that it is going to be simplistic in its approach and you will end up spending time reading garbage links to get to what you really want.

Yes... since an iPod DOES play MP3s. Don't confuse it with iTunes which only lets you download in the AAS format. The fact that you didn't know this shows your bias against Apple.
Quicktime had the same quality of image 8 years ago when it comes to still images. Now, it is true that this is more of hardware breakthrough, but the image quality doesn't seem to be much better than QT. I'd like to see some video to get a better feel of what this hardware can do.
Here is a difference... on the factory floor they are trained to use the tools. Some people are morons but a vast majority are not and to say that they just need to learn is silly since it seems that most of the people on my side of the fence won't bother to teach them.
How about looking at the history of flight in general and applying similar timelines.
The first manned flight (in the form of a glider) happened in the 1880s.
The first powered flight, in the 1890's.
The first manned powered flight we all know was in 1903.
Pan Am (arguably the first real airlines focused on tranporting people and not cargo) started in 1925.
Jet technology didn't occur until the late 1930s and wasn't used commercially until the 1950s.
If our dream was for all of this to become commonplace, then perhaps we should temper our expectations. It took us from 1880 to 1925 (45 years) to get to commercial use, albeit on a limited level). It took another 25-30 years to get us to the current commerical jet based system we have today. So essentially we are talking about nearly 75 years.
The space program realistically started in 1957 with Sputnik being our first "glider" so to speak. We are a mere 48 years out. With the first real passenger focused private space companies (Virgin Galactic being one) starting to come on the scene.
Commonplace trips to space IMHO are still a good 25+years off. But that would be consistent with the timelines of aviation.
Private space companies are more likely to spur the innovation than NASA is at this point.
Sadly nobody is looking back at history to put all of this into perspective. We are about where we should be... shame on the folks back in the 60s that assumed we'd be farther along.
In the firt 48 or so years we have done a hell of a lot. We will only speed up that process.
Animals do not have intellects or wills; they have no feelings or emotions.
My question to you is this: How can you be sure? An animal is not capable of love, devotion, or caring? How is it that we have heard of dogs that have risked their lives to save their owner or a child from danger? Is that instinct? Wouldn't instinct tell the uncaring dog to run away and save himself, would his survival be more important.
IMHO... animals, especialy larger ones, are capable of having feelings and to a limited extent intellect. But I think it is a little callous to assume that they do not possess any intelligence at all.
But isn't evolution all but proven based on the genetics? What about the bones of the Neandrathals and the various versions of Homo Erectus all the way up to us? I'd say evolution is far closer to being proven than being shown to be wrong.
I only recognize people that are rightfully elected not stolen two elections in a row. Personally, I think he is being nice by calling hime Mr. Bush. I'd just use the term you did instead. Jackass. Dubayah, Mr. Bush, Prez Bush... whatever... they are all forms of the word jackass.:-)
That being said, I think that this is a real issue, but is overblown. I think these are the same people that said the astronauts would be fried by radiation on the way to the moon.
