doesn't do anything that I would consider normal on a day to day basis Then you are not Google Docs' target group (I'm neither). But most Office users are.
Inclusion of mathematical proofs would be the last problem in the encyclopedical signal/noise ratio problem of Wikipedia.
The only problem is that errors in mathematical proofs are less forgivable (I can't explain why, maybe it's just a personal view but I strongly feel others would see it that way) than errors in literature. And they also require more proficient experts to check them out and find errors.
BTW, why not use MathML to mark up formulas, instead of images?
"int i = a + 2;" has to have a comment above it saying "// create a signed 32-bit integer variable, i, and assign it two more than the value of a". Without a comment on the purpose of i ?
I didn't have thirty years ago in mind; that's too much. Also I don't think mainframes are to be judged by their hardware specs only but also from a more complete software/hardware/personnel viewpoint. I have worked as a user on IBM 3081 systems on VM/SP and my experience was an extremely pleasant one. My work was getting done and I didn't have to deal with details PCs enforce on me. The admins were seasoned geeks with a solid tech background unlike the Linux fans who were running the downsized PC replacement a few years laters.
Anyway, I just wanted to point that yes, by stress I mean not only what you've pointed in your first line but something even more complete.
And again, you limit yourself to what happened in your youth failing to understand that your useful lives were not limited in your twenties; but the problem is that you refuse to see how sick we are of listening to your pompous pontification and your refusal to see yourselves in the mirror.
My grandad was a much more interesting guy that you will ever be because he accepted his old age and he was a respected old man and also because his stories about the 2nd World War were always much more interesting to the endless "We stopped the Vietnam War, gave women and minorities the same rights as everyone else [and outsourced the economy so that you will never have the opportunity to live in the economic stability we enjoyed from our fathers]"
(But it won't happen, because it would expose managers who suck.) That's the function of presentation software; to make a speech seem better than it sounds.
Wikipedia is not the sum of all recorded knowledge and it should definitely not be.
It's an encyclopedia () -- meaning ``general education,,. The greek etymology has been incorrectly translated even here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia as ``general knowledge,,. It is not general knowledge, otherwise it would be called encyclognosis (""); for example, a POV is usually a very interesting piece of general knowledge but it should not be a part of an encyclopedia.
Wikipedia as it is, is a mess because it fails to enforce its role as the largest online encyclopedia and instead allows anyone to write non encyclopedic items in it. It should focus more on deleting such items (TV series, webcomics) than expanding its volume.

Even a "one hit wonder" is better than an anonymous guy posting a story somewhere on the web. On the premise of your assertion that "no one should care what Woz thinks" could you tell us why should anyone care on what ~you~ think?
I think a lot of users are going to be annoyed when they find out that the fonts they're used to (Verdana, Georgia, etc.) are missing and have been "replaced" by ones with different names...
What do you mean? Verdana and Georgia still exist in Vista, I think.

1) Specify more accurate power schemes 2) Reprogram the voltage and throttling in most Centrino platforms 3) Unlock power-related settings in your platform to achieve even higher power savings
All these result in better silence and longer battery life.
You mean as in education, possibly yes. I tried to explain that it was in her best interest to have a lightweight system and also work on a more streamlined UI (without the office assistant) but I think she has impersonated Clippy as a real person.
Yes, I remember Bonzi buddy -- I think it was a blue monkey.
At last, a correct statement about Clippy! Yes, he was added in Office 97 and yes, it was very easy to disable or not include it at installation (options were provided for both). Microsoft had removed Clippy in Office 2003 but if you slipstream SP2 (or the new SP3), the option to install Clippy is back on.
I am sure this is due to popular demand.
Here is a 100% true story about Clippy: I was installing Windows for my girlfriend and I came to the point of installing Office. She saw me marking Office assistant off at installation and asked with dread: "Are you.. removing CLIPPY???" And she started crying and demanding that I get Clippy back on the installation. Of course I don't take shit from women in these matters so Clippy was left out, but we had a real fight on that day.
It was always easy to disable and it was always an option. Therefore Michael Meeks, by saying "You couldn't turn [Clippy] off and it came on and you had to talk to it before you came on.", loses some credibility.

Microsoft plays, for sure!
A truly delicate matter. No fear though, there is a simple solution.
Install Linux and tell your parents it cost $100 -- considering their prodigy, they'll definitely buy it.
Count me too on that one. I was wondering why the hell there would be an institute for pornography...

If you judge "power" by an arithmetic test of the CPU and by memory size, probably.
But even the old mainframes were build to sustain stress in multiuser environments where your cellphone and even your modern PC would collapse.

Asshole.

What experience? Is this a joke? They got the date right (at least in my own zone) but the month is October -- not April.
RMclock (a small free utility) allows you to

Are you using Outlook 2000? There is a patch for this problem -- you should install it to fix it.

By "CS" you mean Crappy Stereotype?
Meeks' point is that if you clicked on Clippy's icon you were provided an option to hide it.

Made them an offer they couldn't refuse???
That's from the Godfather, but what's the point in tagging?
Keep in my you'll probably need to slipstream SATA/RAID drivers because it's impossible to install XP otherwise.
That's the only difficulty.
