No shit. I loved AmiPro 10-15 years ago.... it was fast and as capable as Word, which was a dog. Word is still a dog (continual featuritus the main culprit).
80% of the Word docs I see could easily been handled with Wordpad, More complicated docs are never done with any skill, and certainly with no style other than "normal".
a) Something must be done! b) This is something. c) Therefore, it must be done!
The first problem is that the government's "solution" is not a solution, it is demonstrably completely ineffective.
Second, there is indeed a trade-off between wasting enormous amounts of time and resources and saving lives. Most likely, if all motor vehicles were governed to be unable to exceed 15 MPH, there would be almost no deaths due to motor vehicle accidents. But would it be worth it?
Third, there's this little concept called liberty that no one seems to be able to grasp anymore. Does it ever occur to anyone but me and Archie Bunker that if the TSA wasn't so committed to disarming all the good people, that any hijacker would have a lot more to worry about than he does now?
Camino rocks! It's much faster and prettier than either Safari or FF. In fact, I'd dare say it's closer to the original intent of FF than FF is now.
I understand that it is closely integrated with OSX video technology, so it's not likely portable to other platforms. Too bad for me, but probably good for them.
Dude, that is truly some insight. I was pissed that I couldn't get a nice report showing my votes, but you've opened my eyes. (as much as this sounds like bs, it is not).
Anyway, I was looking for someone to make the point that vote-swapping is almost inherently completely fraudulent. Surely it's obvious that the way to play is to "swap" votes with as many of the opposition as you can get away with, and then vote anyway. So when voteswap.com reports its final tally of 353 billion votes swapped, you all won't be surprised.

Something tells me there's been too much build-up for the joke to be funny now.
Just be sure you can deal with losing the data. If they format your normal TC volume, then the hidden volume is destroyed. If you can't live with that, then they have you by the balls.
Well your dad was, of course, absolutely correct. But he should have said that every time you bought a lottery ticket, regardless of what numbers were on it.
See next story about the death of print media. Tech print media has been advertising filler for years. It's not like actual tech people work for those fish-wrappers.
I was working as a computer operator in the late 70s, at the university I attended, and found Time Enough for Love left on the console table one day. (Reading occupied a considerable amount of computer operation there & then.) I was hooked before I got to the bottom of page 1. I later learned the Mr. Heinlein was a master of the catchy opening.
I eventually read almost everything else he wrote and enjoyed all of it, but never thought anything else was quite a good as TEFL.
For the/. editors (who take so much abuse here), thanks for the great job of fleshing out my submission, and still giving me credit.
It must be obsolete,/. is already confusing the terminology. The title says CD-ROM, which has always meant data disks read by computers, not music disks.
OTOH, there isn't any real technical difference, except in software, so never mind.
Try 40 years. On z/OS, you can easily run any valid program compiled in the mid-60s (for System/360). Except it will usually run faster on a modern machine (or on a simulated system on a PC). There's undoubtedly some code deep in the nucleus (kernel) that hasn't really changed since then.
Data created in the 60s is also still easily accessible, although it would need to be copied from old to new media from time to time. But even the media has a pretty long life.
Jeez... and I was hoping all the alien chicks looked as nice as Katherine Heigl. (I would put in a link to IMDB's "Roswell" page, but IMDB is blocked here at work. [Fools,/. is what should be blocked.))

If you are correct, CA is run by bigger dumbasses than the rest of the US thinks.
And most of think you have some pretty big dumbasses.
So the alternative term is even stupider. You greenie-weenies sure have a way with words.
Silly Europeans. Our government does whatever it wants. Laws are for common folk.
I just threw up. Happy now?
He must have meant "foreplay" then.
You've outlined the "politician's fallacy":
a) Something must be done!
b) This is something.
c) Therefore, it must be done!

No more than 3 oz.! Hope that's enough.

I don't know, but it's been the policy of the government for as long as I can remember.

I think you mean taxes. Most of those things are relatively small.

Evolution is the theory that humankind is descended from the best rapists and killers.
OK, I see their point.
It's all these newbs with 7-digit ids that are ruining /.

I figure it's going to happen sooner or later.

TFA is a just a mess; so thanks for writing the post I was going to.
