    Never quite saw it that way. I just might use that in a different situation :)

    I don't know if you actually read those journal entries, but both are obvious humor (at least obvious to me) besides, both are almost 4 years old. They're just something I saw in e-mails, and posted here because I didn't want to lose them.

    You seem to be misinformed as well. Not every right-winger is religious. There is a "religious right" but they're not the only ones on the far right, and they're not the only ones who are pro-life. I'm an atheist, far right, pro-lifer.

    I hardly think your description is valid. I'm atheist, and I also believe that life begins at conception.

    I realize that many companies have a legitimate need for this. My point though was that LowneWulf was right to call this obscure. The target audience or this post is not businesses of all sizes, it's slashdot readers.

    I could see this being very useful at my company, and if we used it I'd be the one to implement it. Still, I hadn't heard of it either, and I've been looking. So even the people it's intended for haven't heard of it. I'd say that qualifies it as obscure (although I'd like to see that change.)

    Sounds pretty obscure to me. How many people (slashdot readers, at least) seriously have a need for this?

    Despite what bmongar says in the other reply to your post, it's all outlined in either the Geneva Conventions or the Law of Armed Conflict. I forget which, might be both.

    When I use ctrl-C, it overwrites A3 (after confirming.) When I right click, it does shift the other cells, but it asked how I wanted them shifted. There was no option to always do which one you choose.
    Granted, MS Excel 2003 doesn't seem to have this shift cells feature, but I for one like having the option. If I get time at work tomorrow, I'll try it on OOo for Windows, in case my WM (XFCE) is interfering.

    One other cool thing you should try with Debian is apt-get install SPELLCHECK!

    I call bullshit. I followed your directions exactly, and got 1,2,2,4. I'm thinking you screwed up your settings in OOo, and decided to blame Debian.

    BTW, this is with Debian testing.

    Hell, I'm a non-smoker (quit in Jan.) and I'm tired of the elitism by non-smokers. I guess I just still remember how annoying the militant ones were when I did smoke.

    I have to sympathize with Ken on that one. I guessed H&R at the last second, but that was only because my mom guessed the IRS. I didn't pay close enough attention at first, and spent 20 seconds trying to think of a manufacturer who only sells around Christmas. I only heard the word collar, not the word white. I too would have taken a wild stab, but it probably would have been UPS if I chose a shipping company.

    WHY the world left them like that for so long

    Because during the Cold War, if anyone had tried, the Soviet Union would have defended them. By the time the Soviet Union fell, it was, and still is, too dangerous for anyone to try. Plus, there's a pretty good chance that China would defend now.

    Don't get me wrong, I really wish we could, but it's not going to happen. We just need to wait for Kim Jong Il to die.

    To prevent the "vote often" part of "vote early, vote often." If you prevent the machine from accepting more votes than there are registered voters, then you just eliminated one method of voter fraud. Granted, there should have been a paper trail to help figure out the fraud if it does happen. I also agree with an earlier post suggesting that the machine stop when the limit is reached.

    That's really interesting, because the booklet I read last week (printed this year) from the Catholic Church disagrees with this supposed "Joint Declaration." It lists five non-negotiable issues to consider when voting, and the very first one was abortion. It stated that you absolutely cannot vote for a pro-choice candidate if you plan on voting according to Catholic morals.
