2) The myth can include large numbers of people in aligning mirrors. I'm guessing there'll be a large number of school children helping to align the mirrors.
Because if politicians love combining anything, it's schoolchildren and fire.
When I hear the word Adobe, I think of problems. That's the mindset you created.
Agreed. CS4 on Windows had a workaround method to update products remotely via command line (by downloading updates from their website). CS5 on Windows has those updates absent from the website. So we have to either grant access to the adobe updater program to run as admin for everyone and teach them to update (and scan to make sure), or manually use the GUI overselves on end users desktops. WTF? I bet the Mac version is just as foobared, but at least you can just ARD-push the application directories after updating on one computer (Curse Windows and its myriad folders and registry settings).
It makes me wonder why Facebook had a privacy "policy" for app writers when they could have easily scrubbed data before letting Zinga et al get their grubby mitts on them. A "Do not walk on grass" sign carries less weight than a groundskeeper, security guard, or a fence.
The full truth is openoffice sucks and is hardly usable for real world use.
Have you actually used OpenOffice.org in the real world? Five or six years ago, I was in the mortgage industry and I used Calc to create some pretty complicated spreadsheets such as amortization tables (including adjustable rates loans). In fact, I used such spreadsheets as a sales tool because I could show a client how much he or she could save by refinancing or the potential impact of rate changes on an ARM.
"Hardly usable for real world use"? Bah. Hyperbole not based on real world use. Is it right for every situation? No, it's not but it is sufficient for about 95% of real world users.
Obviously you didn't turn it into a presentation with ooimpress.;)
I have a friend in the Bing group and he's turned so totally fanboy about it that it's sickening on the level of listening to a true believer evangelist.
Same here, I'm reasonably sure that they're "suggested" to talk up Bing when their communications are being monitored (using their company laptops/email, on Facebook, etc).
I'm comfortable in my current IT position, but I'll never forget what it took to get here. Taking odd jobs and doing sewer repair certainly doesn't sound as awesome as "I would be a hypocrite for working for Microsoft, as that conflicts with my moral and ideological beliefs" would on my resume... I think.
I would never hire someone that sounded like you; that placed themselves on a pedestal and made claims of moral superiority. Good luck with that endeavor.
As opposed to someone who will do whatever it takes to get ahead? I'll take a moral team player over a backstabbing ladder climber any day.
Ways of doing things that are confusing to a Windows user with windows, I can go to a website, download an installer and install my software. with Linux I can install it via the built-in installer. but that only works if said software is in the repository. If not, getting it installed is often a lot more complex than just downloading a file and double clicking on it to install.
Know what's confusing to a Windows user? The built-in Microsoft add-remove programs/programs and features administration GUI tool where you can "turn Windows features on or off". It's exactly like a Linux GUI package manager, complete with a (local) repo, except the local repo programs (called features), like telnet, ftp, smb, etc, are separated from the third party installed programs, and the third party (potentially trojan) programs are given top billing, which leads to a new Linux user's common mistake of just downloading any rpm, deb, or binary they find and running it.
Still too much reliance on the command line interface Telling someone to break out a command line and type "sudo apt-get whateverthefuck" is like telling a Windows user to reinstall DOS and learn its syntax.
It's more like telling them to open up cmd.exe and type arcane commands for a bug/vulnerability workaround instead of making a patch, which Microsoft has done many many times. BTW, I'm of the mindset that most computer users should know command line concepts, if only to prevent them from needless repetitive GUI clicks.

There aren't any business databases available for either OS. And I mean databases like dBaseIII or Paradox for DOS, and NOT the useless piece of shit Windows versions. No database, no deal. Many are using Access but if you've ever used anything well designed you don't like it.
The PHP/Javascript/MyPostrgressSQL combo is an abortion. We need something that those who know the business rules can use to implement said rules, and do it easily.
If it ever happens, the publisher will make billions overnight. I'm still selling PDoxDOS apps. Hey stupid, they work.
Of course, "FreeOffice" just sounds cheesy and crappy (since "free" typically has some bad connotations, evoking the line "you get what you pay for"), and stupid English doesn't have separate words for free/beer and free/speech, so I have no idea what would be a good alternative.
Freedom Office. Liberation Office. Independence Office. American Office.
If this is true, nobody's really listening. They're embroiled in their own personal battles, and they _know_ that finding a job is hard now. Any radical change 20 years away (good or bad) is almost always false. Global cooling, flying cars, personal robots, futuristic looking cars and buildings...
Murder requires an "evil intent" that a corporation does not have the capacity for (only its board members or employees). Very seldom can corporate wrongdoing legitimately use the Sideshow Bob "Five Corners" defense (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bob_Next_Door#Plot) where no individual act is illegal.
That still isn't censorship. If the government blocked fox, it would be.
No. That would be _government_ censorship. Anyone in a position of power over a distribution medium can censor, and it's not always a bad thing either. Moderators on many internet forums often censor bad things people say. (or SPAM) For example:
samzenpus is totally awesome and never censors or adds to any post.
Dude, they're totally racist. How many British citizens call themselves African American? I rest my case.
And yes, there was a U.S. news anchor that once referred to "European African Americans" when referring to all black Europeans, not just Americans that had moved to Europe...
Many of their personalities are living proof that abortions need to be legal.
I believe the term, when applied to 30+ year old adults, is murder. Unless you have a television-idiocy prenatal genetic test you haven't told us about.
Liberalism, throughout most of the world including France, is usually considered a center-right political philosophy. Only in America is the word "liberalism" seen as "left-wing," which I think says a lot about Americans.
It says that Americans view things from a "freedom first" perspective. In most of the rest of the world, "liberalism" is viewed as a step away from the autocracies of their pasts. In the U.S., "liberalism" is viewed as broadening the base of the government (and thus a step toward the autocracy that the U.S. was deliberately founded against). "Conservatism" in the rest of the world is seen as old nobility trying to hold onto what their fore-bearers had. "Conservatism" in the U.S. is seen as people trying to hold onto what the U.S. was created for: freedom from oppression. Different terminologies from different historical perspectives.
Why dont they just write a cheque to the record industry and cut out the middle man.
Because the point of this program is to train the 12-25 yo crowd to pay for music. Apparently the French government believes they're all pirates (who might vote pirate party if not trained).
If "Bob Smith" is a registered sex offender in a large urban area, another Bob Smith in the same area might have some difficulty getting hired for a job. Perhaps the scrapers might see some revenue in selling "whitelist" services.
You have that backwards. Hope you don't have an uncommon name. Almost no one has a unique name, but people tend to think any uncommon name is unique. Even worse, locally uncommon names that are common elsewhere.

But unless you took precautions, now PeekYou can tie your screen name to your IP.

As a mathematician, I have always hated people who claim that 0.999... = 1 can't be true.
As a nerd, I have always hated people that hate others for trivial reasons. You're just a math bully.
The problem is that many times in calculus, "approaches" is described that the number approached is never reached.
