Comment Re:Why dont I need word? (Score 1) 843

I've written two books and several film scripts in Word, all with one file per piece. It was also an easy way to take a mailing list of Literary Agents from a table on the web, drop it into Excel and then mail merge the entire thing into a letter template I wrote in Word, because yes, you do have to print things when you're submitting to most publishers. It was never a nightmare and I never lost the whole thing in one fell swoop. Sounds like FUD. While I'm not saying that TeX/LaTeX isn't a good way to go, writing a book in Word, applying styles and publishing all worked pretty seamlessly and effortlessly for me.

Comment Drink less tea then... (Score 5, Funny) 516

Time to have a global boston tea party and dump all the tea into the ocean. With roughly 2-3 billion less tea drinkers in the world, think of how many more searches we can do without impacting the environment! And think of those who drink multiple glasses. It's like a critical hit against tea/energy expense. Booyah! problem solved.

An anonymous reader writes: Google's artwork for today (Feb 14, 2007 — Valentine's Day) displays a chocolate covered strawberry in place of the lower case 'g' in their name but it looks like they forgot the 'l', so today it's spelled Googe instead of Google. Oops! Check it out: www.google.com
