I keep hearing about enhanced support in MicroSoft Office for the blind. What are these features? I am sighted, and I don't see anything that MSO provides that would help me if I were to go blind. Unless you mean voice input, and I think I'd be able to type faster than speak most of the time.
Other than a multi-variable "solver" functionality, I can't think of anything that OOo lacks that I would need. (And the solver that MicoSoft uses was actually developed by others.)
Actually, OOo 2.0 has a bibiography editor which would come in very handy in MSO, and a nice equation editor.
I guess word art and clippy are lacking... what are the special features that attract you to MSO?
While MicroSoft may be the greatest evil unleashed upon computing,
they say they won't kill your PC. Now, whether you trust them or not, turning off computers en masse would not be in their best interests.
In modern Canada, ISPs get their internet information from their subscribers.
It may not be long before North Americans are using encrypting proxies in China to gain access to content on the 'web. (Okay, we'd likely use South American or European servers, but hey that's not as controversial, is it?)
I might have to investigate going back to the cable companies for my broadband access.
With a filtering proxy, you can usually rewrite the link to avoid the ad, and skip to the result. I've not come across ads in Google Groups, so I can't say for certain.
And yes, we do implement the mobile telephone technology far more slowly than most European and Asian countries - far faster than I really think we should, but hey, I'm a dinosaur from the age of the Amiga.
They do say "Free software for a free people" and "independence" - both implying (to me anyway) that this is an appeal to the "spirit of liberty" that one assumes to be prevalent in NYC. (Seeing that they've got that nifty French statue and all.)
Oh MY GOD! Won't someone think of the Sea Monkeys?
Seriously, people should be making use of the adblocking functionality in their browsers, or better yet, installing filtering proxies like proxo to halt this crap before it gets to the browser.
Something that was interesting from FTA was the "babble" stage, which was compared to human children. This experiment might teach us more about human linguistics as well. Learning languages, how languages "mutate" over time, how cultures mix when two communities with different languages are placed together, the group mind boggles...
Funny, but the one that I thought of wasn't on the lists I looked at. Disulfiram was discovered as an "off label" treatment to disuade alcoholics from drinking.
Velcro should not be on the lists. That was an intentional product creation.
Sometimes birds take notice of the slow-flying SkySeer. "In fact, we talked about making it look like a bird to make it more environmentally benign," said Heal.
If it looks like a bird, won't hawks and the like try to eat it? I'm not sure that making the UAV mimic birds is "benign" for the raptors.
That (Gates for president of the US) is an interesting idea. I know the parent has been modded funny, but don't you folks have an election around 2008?
High profile, rich, proved administrator, rich, technically savvy, rich, good looking wife, still has his hair, rich. What more would you want? (-1 for the next person to say "interns".)
Not likely, since centripetal force is whatever pulls a revolving object inward. Suggesting that it (in this case, gravity) is responsible for lifting water upward at the equator is a bit nonsensical. Centrifugal force, while a technically incorrect term (since it's really the combined effect of angular momentum and inertia), is what does that.
No, the centripetal force, provided as you say by gravity, has to provide the inward acceleration of the water. (Otherwise it separates from the planet.) At the equator the acceleration is highest. (It's the product of the angular velocity [squared] and the radius at the point under consideration, the angular velocity is assumed constant, the radius is maximum at the equator.) So the greatest force (provided by gravity and water depth) is required at the equator to hold the water on. We're going to take gravity as being constant, so the water has to be deepest at the equator.
That was my first thought as well, but the high water mark on land isn't what is being measured from satelite. Rebound raises the land level, and shouldn't (greatly) affect the sea level.
An interesting item is that the global sea level is rising.
Of course, the real answer is that the water up there is cold, and cold water makes things shrink;-)
Does this "ban" (or what ever you want to call it) cover "photos" of my computer with the thing I really want to show on the screen? After all, my computer is the most important object in my life, or so my wife goes on about...

Perhaps this might be more meaningful:

They'd've liked fries. But they'd have to be BIG fries, 'cause they're big guys.

Thanks, I'll look at those.

Okay, if you're scratching your head at that one, just see Serenity.
Step right up ladies and gents. Getcher tin foil hats here. Can't be a conspiracy theorist without the tfh.
There is a switch in the story from employee to "ex". The employee was fired subsequent to the leak, but was "working" at the time of the download.
Quote from this one: "We maybe had a false sense of security," O'Meara said.
Whoa, maybe. Y'think?
The Trojan horse gathered the equivalent of 7,000 text pages of data.
