These actions completely change the meanings of these works. The words chosen were done so for a reason. This is an example of ignorance in modern society to give our children the common respect that he or she would be able to identify that Mr. Twain's goal was to demonstrate that slavery and racism was an ignorant action by the common masses and that to move to a higher level of social order and respect society of the day needed to face those issues. I surly understood those concepts when I was a young person reading these books in Jr-High and then High School. Just wrong, as a parent I would DEMAND that my child not read these edited versions which change the underlying meanings and lessons.
I suspect that the Wiki-Leaks founder will meet with an untimly acceident at some point in the future. If he wants to live a long life he might want to go to the Swiss and turn himself in might extend his life expectancy. I for one would suffer not tears for this jerk.
Basicly I break down users into three groups. I have no sientific facts to back up my claims.
Group 1 Power Users smart enough to figure 99% of his or her computer problems and actually read the error messages. This group is maybe 20% of the group. This group typically performs 80% of the work for the organization
Group 2 Users can read but are just to darn lazy or too epethetic to try so they just open tickets with the help desk in the hopes that you have time to come to the rescue.. This group comprized 60% of the group This group contributes about 15% of the overall effort to the organization.
Group 3 Should not be allowed to have a computer and really should be cut as dead weight but because we are a social welfare state these users just go through life and collect a pay check and provide very little maybe 5%.
In a perfect world we would be able to just shoot group 2 and 3.

Many years ago when I wrote COBOL the guyes who wrote ALC would say....
"The applications was hard to write so it should be hard to understand."
"Only wimps document."
"Job security, what a concept."
I have some more but will hold in reserve for later use.

If you are running MS-Office and Adobe Acrobat.....

2. Right Click
3. Select Open Table in Spreadsheet
Opps....
Look what I found!
Recommend that you look more into a Business Degree vice a CS Degree if you want to be eventually become an executive. Having a GEEK engineer degree is admirable but be the person who leads the Geeks is paid more.
I have worked on the IBM platforms on and off since 1982, these are quite possibly the most stable and reliable platforms in existance. Virtualization is the wave of the future there is no reason for me to have a computer on my desk, truly a waste of resources.

I quite agree, I will have to take up being a slob today! I would hate to be able to find what I am working on in say 2 seconds vice the 79.4 seconds it takes when I have piles of CRAP on the desk.

I read an article that the Mars tempature has experance a simular increase as witnessed in our atmosphere. I refuse to accept that global warming is total caused by human activity. I remember in 1976 and 1977 when the winter was HARSH to say the lease the talk was of the comming ICE AGE. If this person was threatened then we as a world have worse things to worry.

Great story. Always remember when seconds count the police are but minutes away! I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Big Iron! Glad that in a previous life I worked as a IBM Systems Program and Telecomunications Specilist!
All sound like mainframe operations to me! I think that the mainframe will be around forever! Long life IBM. Ronbo
These violins came from the period during the so called Mini IceAge speculation is that the trees grew a more dense wood during this era..

Excellent point, just another example of politics over-riding common sense. Ronbo
