Actually, I go nuts when I use it to type even one sentence. Too much bull
shit, I feel like I'm treated like a child. Also, it's auto-everything annoys.
Also, it's obsession with fonts really bugs me. I just want to type, who give
a shit about fonts? I put all that in later w/ a template, whoever wants the
article is deciding all the layout. I just make a .sty file and go from there,
in word you have to do the same thing each time. I know, I know there are style
sheets or something, but nobody I see using word uses them. Also, the .doc format
is criminal in that you never know if your paper will look the same on diff.
computers. Finally, if I can get a professional, yes professional, in that
it's used to make books, for free, then I'll use that. I heard word breaks
for books, don't know, not willing to pay a couple hundred bucks to find out.
Then you are forced with shitty keybindings which are made to be inefficient-er
"user friendly".
Abi-word does all the above. I think that the whole wysiwyg is a dead-end, a
failed experiment. Most people like it b/c, 1. they learned it all ready,
2. they don't see the value in thinking abstractly. Poor souls.

Actually a lot of really imporatant stuff is in this format. Most people don't
think that they have choices. maybe this is the reason that an MS official
hinted that perhaps open-source should be legislated against. He also hinted,
that the "American way' means you can't give your ideas away. If this is true,
it's not, I'd be sorry to be an american. Instead, I'm proud. I'll be
prouder when courts uphold the gnu liscence and also state that software is
like speech. I'd like to see them try to stop open source, I think it would
be so hard, they'd radicalize many people and get many more followers.
Anyway, I liked how MS sounded so hysterical, lying badly, saying that open-
source kills innovation while actually being a member of one of the most
innovation destroying corps of all time. Hell, they ripped off Mac OS again.
How frikin' lame? I saw features from mac OS 9, a decided joke. If XP
needs to rip off a shitty os, how good can it be?
stay free,
Fred

You are soooooooo fucking naive.
The Senete Armed Services Committee held hearings about the
security breaches at Los Alomos.
The DIRECTOR of the Department of Energy said UNDER OATH that
the counter-espionage security at Los Alomos and other facility
was rolled back DUE TO AN EXECUTIVE ORDER SIGNED BY CLINTON
HIMSELF.
This was DURING THE 1996 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
FACE IT...KLINTON IS A GODDAMNED TRAITOR WHO SHOULD BE SHOT
BY A JOINT SERVICES FIRING SQUAD-- 2 representatives from each
service....so that no matter which guy gets the dummy round,
A representative of EVERY service will have put at least one
bullet into his loathsome hide.

Materialism claims that nothing can be known but from observation
of the 5 senses.
I'm arguing that there are other ways to know something. In this
case the historical record.
The event can not be repeated, but can be known.

Ah, so there are other ways than direct observation and
repeateable experimental results to "know" something?
Good, we are getting somewhere.
So, we both have faith in the historical record?

1) No, it wasn't Reagan....it was a bureacrat
2) Read the back of a bottle of ketchup sometime.

Well, I'm trying to keep track of 3 or 4 threads but I'll give it a shot.
Materialism is beleiving only in what the 5 senses show you.
Things are either objective or subjective.
Rocks, houses and computers are objects. I like to read because
of complex chemical reactions. The I thing doesn't really exist.
But, what is quality, or ethics or value?

H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (C) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.

I'm sure a Linux LAN server could achieve that uptime, but not a Windows * OS.
For a Windows server to achieve that uptime, the machine will need a LOT of
memory for the inevitable memory leaks that eventually crash it. Cheap
motherboards now can take up to a gigabyte of memory, sold separately of
course. I don't know if a gig would delay the BSOD long enough to allow only
annual booting. Has anyone yet attempted to assemble such a machine to test
the theory?
