No, reading the article made you feel like you were playing 3-card Monte.
Let me tell you why...
When you're having your palm read, someone is trying to predict the future. If you've never had your palm read, you better start.
Let me tell you why...
I can't believe it took this long for somebody to say this. Maybe I missed an earlier one. But, this is the first one I found. Everyone else is blaming UI design and lack of sleep. No people! Stop ranting on your work e-mail system!!!
Sorry, no mod points here.
I agree with the money-making opportunities in textbook pushing. But, there's also the advantage that you can study your textbooks and not attend class (for the most part). Those students who are good at independent study benefit greatly from courses structured around textbooks.
Agree. You know, I may join in some comp sci book open source projects. I always hated paying the outrageous prices, only to be offered half to less than half for a buy-back.
Needless to say, I still own all my text books from college.
This can also affect the bottom lines of public education. Everyone's always saying how there's no money for schools (we all know the money's there, just in the wrong places). Take publishing companies out of the equation, and that's a shitload of cash on hand --- or maybe just buying power.
I kind of thought the same thing. They probably didn't like his idea to create this tool that would help people locate web pages and sites based on specific keywords they typed into a simple textbox.
I don't mind wearing one of these bracelets on a plane. But, on one condition - when these things are proven successful, all politicians have to wear them. And, control is based on an online poll which voting-age American citizens have access to.
I agree. I've read through some of the replies to this, but it seems like they took something simple and effective and made it cumbersome. I guess I just haven't tried to learn how to use it, but damn it's busy to read through.
I liked when the change to include the X on tabs (for closing individual tabs) was implemented. It actually saves me time, and it's absolutely intuitive.
I hate the new address bar. It's too convoluted. It's hard to read the entries, in my opinion. I'm sure there's a config option for this, but why would it be the default setting? It's hideous.
I won't be downloading it. In the latest Ubuntu release, Firefox 3 beta 5 (or whatever version) is running like molasses. And, I still have problems with menus dropping down behind flash movies. I haven't really researched these, yet. But, I thought Firefox 3 was supposed to be a major performance improvement over 2. And, the flash thing should just work.
I have a notification which presents itself in the system tray, rather than as a pop-up. The pop-up exists by default, but you can turn it off. This seems to work best since I don't have to "poll" every so often, I'm still notified, and I'm not interrupted. It's probably the one feature of... well, I'd rather not say which e-mail client my org uses... okay... it's Lotus Notes, alright!
I second... or third that. Checking e-mail? That's so 1990's.
But, seriously, I would suggest poor communication skills as more of a stress inducing aspect of e-mail. How many people do you know can effectively communicate through e-mail without several successive replies? Telephone and face-to-face conversations are usually much more effective when one party doesn't communicate well.
If someone sends me an e-mail which doesn't make sense to begin with, I don't waste time trying to extract their meaning through e-mail. I do a face-to-face. It's a lot less frustrating.

Or, you could simply assume GP's query was rhetorical and not respond at all.
I wonder if any of the testing conducted included comparing the scans of actual events versus dreamt events.
Whomever threw the other magnets out onto the road.
You need evidence. Textbook concepts don't mean a thing. Real-world examples (preferably from your current company) make the need obvious.

You must be a freshman. Nobody carries college textbooks around.

That's precisely why they are the ultimate overlord. They don't need to know who you are.

I would venture to say that someone with uncontrollable gas could, possibly, passively hijack a plane.

I like the idea of using "ZEROORMOREOFTHEPRECEDINGCHARACTER" rather than "*", myself.
The simplest method of verifying would be to ask specific questions, such as "What's your name?", "What's your age?", etc.

Okay, I rarely reply, but that was good!
