Environmental issues have become international politics; that's government territory. Tough on the scientists involved but this is very much a case of "be careful what you wish for", given that it's many of these same people who politicized it in the first place.
The guys with some innocuous finding to report get caught up in the net put in place to restrain loose cannons.
From the elected government's point of view, these guys are all part of the left-wing bureaucracy that spends much of its time looking for ways to embarrass Harper and the Conservative Party without worrying too much about the facts, ethics, or good science. It's perhaps a little harsh, but they've sandbagged Harper and his ministers a few times too many. Quite simply, as a group they can't be trusted.
Actually, the Styles and Formatting dialog is where you deal with these issues. Mostly using "Select n Instances" to resolve style conflicts. Margins, tab stops, bulleting, are all styled and can easily be restyled.
It matters not that your sources didn't define any new styles by name. If they used any formatting, it got captured as a style that can easily be replaced with whatever you choose as a standard.
That assumes you have a clue about using styles, and, that you've defined a standard set of styles. Next time, give them a.dot and tell them what the standards are before they start work.
If you're going to merge documents from multiple sources, it helps not to do it in the stupidest possible way.
Start by reading each source and saving them all in the same format/version. This is as simple as Open... SaveAs...
If you have duelling styles, resolve them in a single.dot you'll use for the result and resolve the conflicts. That's what the Styles and Formatting dialog is for. That assumes that you have a clue about using styles.
You can't expect Word to make aesthetic decisions for you, or to resolve different, equally valid, formatting decisions made by different authors.
Hint: you don't "delete a bunch of bullets;" you give the text a different style.
Your memory is indeed bad. "Show Fields (Alt F9)" bears no relation to WP's "Show Codes". WP's show codes was there because their WYSIWYG wasn't all that good.
Show Fields shows you the references to document properties and custom fields you or a template maker have created, assuming that you've put them to work with the "Insert Field" menu.
There is no Word function, and hasn't been since Word 4.2 for DOS, that will show you where formatting starts and ends other than the text itself.
If you want to know what the formatting is for a bunch of text, highlight it and look up to the top of the window.
That's because Word doesn't use markup for its internal representation. There's no markup to show. A Word document is managed as a collection of styled objects.
It's a lot closer to XML than it is to WordPerfect or its uncle nscript.
It depends. Does OpenOffice have change tracking and commenting?
What happened here is they forgot to turn off Track Changes and, possibly, forgot to delete comments.
It's what happens when you use a word processor like a mechanical typewriter. The problem is not the tool, it's the organization that failed to train its people.
Pull the data into Excel or R or your favourite tool and plot the most recent 10,000 years (period since the end of the last ice age). You'll find it easier to interpret if you convert the age to years AD and BC and normalize the temperatures to make them relative to current.
You'll see that the Mann Hockey Stick is right where it's supposed to be. What's surprising is how tiny it is (said the actress to the bishop).
What I find most interesting is that, since 8000BC, it's only been as cold as it is now three times, and for each time only 200 or so years. So is it going to get warmer? Yeah, that's a safe bet if we don't get an ice age first. It's going to get a lot warmer before it gets to what's been normal and comfortable for most of modern human history.
Does Mann demand an explanation? No--there's nothing exceptional about the current trend--it doesn't require an exceptional explanation. It's just the climate being the climate.
The next thing I did was superimpose the rise and fall of the great human cultures in both the Old World and the Americas, with a focus on equatorial civilizations. With a couple of exceptions, they all get their start during warming periods. A few, the Hittites, both Romes, Islam, see their fortunes literally rise and fall with temperature.
But don't take my word for it. It's an hour's work to see for yourself.
From your description, the intent is e-literacy, not turning them into professional programmers. The 8th grade curriculum will go a long way.
On the other hand--these are mid-teens. Your plan for 9th and 10th grades could only be described as insulting. They're up to much more of a challenge than that. You don't want to bore them.
Give them all of Python and watch them chew it up. Also, give them a real power tool to instill a proper two-fisted attitude about the power a computer makes available--give them Processing (processing.org). If you really think they're not up to that, then at least give them Squeak.
First off, the trustworthiness of a group is inversely proportional to its size, so any protocol with "broadcast" in its description is certainly insecure. Collage will only work if it's a private channel between two or three people.
Even then, it's relatively weak. Stego needs to be proof against a determined attack by an expert who suspects it's being used and knows the protocol. The standard safeguard, which is not in Collage, is to first encrypt and then hide.
Those "thousands of iterations" on a modest PC are finished and the results presented before the Enter key is back to rest position.
The intended use--error detection and correction, involving a single computation, is probably ideal. You can't gang these things to do more complex work because calculating with simple probabilities, in analog or digital, quickly runs into the flaw of averages and gives you wrong numbers. That's why we use Monte Carlo simulations and uniform partitions to preserve the integrity of the results. The ideal tool for that isn't analog but array processors.
It's probably trivializing their accomplishment to suggest they've made a modestly more interesting op amp, but I'd be much more impressed by an implementation of R-Language or Excel that used the GPU on my machine to do array math.
If you've got private stuff on company servers you're too dumb to use any of the solutions proposed here. You'll just screw things up and make things worse, like moving it all to the web.
Just stop putting private stuff in public places, if you can.
It's not immoral to give someone an excuse to take offense.
Enough, sufficiently sympathetic, weepy and victim-like people may feel offended that it could affect sales of the game. The creator of the game might worry about that, but in the end--it's just a game. If you're offended, I can only quote Shattner: "Get a Life."

In a moderately large file, it would be very suspicious if no two blocks were the same.
but it doesn't answer how it helps if ...
Judgecorp should wait until after second coffee to post.
What happens when an attacker has both factors in a two-factor situation is that security is breached. The same applies for any number of factors.
The objective is to improve security, nothing can guarantee it. No "answer" is needed.

Why not just turn off "Track Changes", turn on "Show Markup" to make sure it worked, and save the file?

This is something anyone on Slashdot should be able to do. First, go get the GISP2 ice core data at

Great references--thanks! The good thing is that what I have is an NVidia GPU.

Analog computers were cost-effective when a "floating-point option" came in a 5' cabinet and cost more than a luxury home.
ICs and cheap memory fixed that problem and analog calculation went the way of the dodo.
If you understand that well enough to find it funny, I have to consider the possibility that the english language has moved on and left me behind.
So. The internet you knew the longest was called Arpanet?
They know what the rates are, and they're happy to work at those rates. No one is being forced to do anything they don't want to do.
Nothing else is relevant.
AOL has always been behind the curve. They were the last BBS on the planet to hook up to the internet, and they've had a 90's retro feel ever since.
It's time to put AOL out of its and its users' misery.

Actually, that's the 1960s.
