Only to a few people. Most people see it as a valuable institution in spite of its faults.
Not quite. Most people think it is a horrid organization. They just think they cannot control it, and therefore give in.
It's like saying that most people believe in Evolution. No, they do not. The overwhelming majority of people believe in the creation of the universe by some supernatural force (not neccesarily Creationism). However, most people don't care to talk about it (nor to listen).
Access is OK to teach SQL. However, the multi-user environment, transactions, triggers, and the like are mostly availible in SQL Server. And, if you do any massive updates, don't even think of Access. It just isn't made for that.
To teach a class, it depends what. If just to teach how to query data, Access is cheaper, quicker, and easier. If you want to learn how to use a database, get SQL Server.
he Targum preceeded Yehoshua Bin Nun?! I had thought that it was written during the time of the Tannaim by Onkelos.
I believe most are of the opinion that he collected it and editted it. The prevailing opinion is, however, that it was originally given on Sinai.
it should be noted however that the Septuagint was the first popular translation in chutz la'aretz.
We do not know that. The Talmud talks of an earlier translation which the Tannaim liked. Possibly, is was popular in other comunities, such as in Babylonia.
There's always room for improvement and bettrer gadgets. Though, unless there is a pressing need for the new, or an unmissable oppurtunity, we should sitck with the old until it dies, and then build for the future.
Actually, the first translation was Aramaic, known as the Targum. The second translation was just after Joshua crossed the Jordan, in which it was translated into seventy languages. The third (that i know of) was slightly before the Septuagint, also into Greek. That was praised. Perhaps the fourth was Jonathan Ben Uziel, into Aramaic, but not a direct translation.
The Septuagint, seemingly the fifth translation, was a tragedy, because of its circumstances. Not because it was translated.
The usage of the word "suck" in the title, is an example of poor reporting. Comments are comments, title's are not comments. Whatever happened to standards?
Imagine if the UN did get control. After 5 billion dollars of wasted beurocratic paper, printed in three languages, there would be a big compromise in which all nations got something. Something like:
France: All webpages must be translated to French.
Germany: Censor all pages with mispelled words.
England: Free speech would only be allowed on a designated website.
Canada: All webpages would have to go to court before being "deported".
Egypt: No servers can be upgraded before they get free infrastructure.
Syria: No servers can be upgraded, unless they approve it.
Lebanon: No pentiums allowed on the Internet.
China: All webpages must go through their censor.
India: No webpage data can be typed outside of India.
Columbia: No webpages can be released without a deal.
And 1000 years ago, the OLDEST, most WIDELY ACCEPTED theory of the shape of the planet was "flat".
Um, not really.
Pythagoras, measured the Earth's circumference. Aristotle brought proofs that it was round (round shadow on moon, ships on horizon, etc.). Atlas is holding a ball. For Judaism, the Talmud and the Midrush say its round. For Xtians, the early church fathers said it was round, and even debated life on the antipodes. Apparently, there were a couple church fathers who assumed flatness. Their influence in the church is debated.
The best claim that people actually believed that nonsense, was between 400 and 1100. It is painfully clear that before and after then everyone knew it was round. The entire objection to Columbus's journey was that the world was larger than he thought, and that he would die at sea. They actually were correct. Had Columbus not bumped into America, he simply would have died from lack of provisions.
There are probably more people today who believe the Earth is flat (E.G. the Flat Earth Society), then there have ever been.
Money is always the best present, because people can use it. Though it doesn't evoke the most appreciation. Appreciation usually comes from presents, because the person is tied to the present.
If you have 5 employees and can afford $1500, that's $7500. It can be split up three ways, money (for a token gift), a gift (to show appreciation), and a better workplace.
That said, each person could receive $300. (It's a nice token that'll give them a night on the town, plus help then buy their personal latest toy, or make another car payment). Then you could spend another $200 each on gifts, such as tickets to a concert, better computer monitors, or some gadget. That'll leave about $5000. With that, buy a coke machine (from Coke, $750 startup fee, plus $75/mo) plumbing will cost about $3000. Syrup costs about $40 a box, and CO2 (after the outlay for the canister of about $100) will cost about $20 to refill. That'll leave about $1000. Use that to buy a refrigerator/freezer, and put ice cream and treats in it weekly.
If you do that, or something like it, you will show appreciation, they will get money and gifts, and their entire working experience (which is exactly what you re showing appreciation for) will be enhanced, greatly. Free food is the cheapest, and probably most successful, way to make employees happy. The Coke machine is something i once had, and there is nothing like filling up a coke from your own personal fountain.
I don't remeber where it is (sorry) but i cleaned some's computer from a similar thing. There is a directory that IE uses on bootup to install some settings. One such file kept resetting the home page. So, the Home Page must be cleared, and the program erased. Check processes for runnning programs, and search for any unrecognizable names.
Martin Garnder is rather intelligent. Yet, he is also a pompous fool. If you read his books, his arrogance is astounding, and only what he believes is sensical. This shows up in some of his preferatory remarks and explanations. But, he is good at some things. While the Aha! books are mildly reprehensible (for the aforementioned reasons) their thought-provoking comments outweigh them many times over.

Microsoft always has a "reader" for the later formats. And the later applications always read earlier formats. So, this is a moot point.

Please stop relying on the titles!
No where is it mentioned in the story what the show is. Are you people that lazy to actually write a decent article?
Start a lottery and give them as rewards.
OK, now i have to remember. Remind me in a few days if i don't reply. :)
It's almost one a day now. Stories where the title must be read to understand the story.
The editors here are getting worse and worse.
The earlier trnaslation was done by another Tanna, not Onkeles. I do not remember the source. I can ask though.
he Targum preceeded Yehoshua Bin Nun?! I had thought that it was written during the time of the Tannaim by Onkelos.

:(
It used to be, we used numbers. Now, things are relative. "One-hundred times faster....".
And they call themselves techies.....
it's first translation. (The Septuagint.)
Actually, the first translation was Aramaic, known as the Targum. The second translation was just after Joshua crossed the Jordan, in which it was translated into seventy languages.

Again! THis nis *really* annoying.
STOP PUTTING THE STORY IN THE TITLE!!!
The story does not mention "Dr. Who" it just mentions "the doctor". Talk about bad journalism. Sheesh!

Superman 2.
And how could anyone forget Star Trek 2.
Actually, that's Aristotle's argument.
Think we can coax the natives into giving us something, if we give their moon back?
Sheesh! "an historic". Don't you guys know English?
:)
I am suprised noone else reported it.

The US is more conservative than Canada, the left of the middle here, may still be right there.
CNN is blatantly leftist. Its not nso much as what they do report, it's what they don't.

Timothy, please stop using the title as part of the story. The title should not need to be looked at.
