I can make coffee better, but I still buy it at the coffee shop before work because I have better things to do with my time.

Dear X,

I have filed a case with the XXX Court under the XXX Act, NNNN, regarding the previous two months wages.

Best Regards,

Me

The company ran out of cashflow, and stopped paying wages, so after two months I stopped showing up. The CEO would have had to tell the shareholders about any court case, so he coughed up a personal check, which cashed the day before they liquidated.

There does seem to be a gap in the market place for a useful dynamic hierarchical graph drawing package. For very complicated procedures I use Graphviz, a freeware by Bell Labs, pretty old now. It takes a bit of hacking but you can create very pretty graphs with high numbers of nodes automatically.

For simple procedures, I just use Powerpoint, and have extra, separate graphs when a particular task can be expanded to a subgraph.

If anybody has any other graph packages to recommend, I would really appreciate upgrading.

Okay, we all pay for that, by paying tax, and by paying university fees. Surely those resources could find something equivalently challenging, but that would have a tangible output for those who are paying!!!

My bloody valentine.

Surely her parent or guardian is responsible for agreeing to the contract?

Ah, yes, well, I think you get what I mean. Ahem.

It is not black or white. I have typically found the absence of clear instructions is caused by haste, or poor writing standards, rather than a desire to obfuscate.

If Google Chrome opens a new thread for each tab, will Windows 7 Starter recognise this as one app or multiple?

They are running Vista (realistically, XP) and MS Office.

I think, given the amount of media we encounter today, the standard is to be slightly more educated about politics. We may find ourselves surprised.

If this is possible, then why was petrol such an issue in (the rather disappointing) Beyond Thunderdome?

The good: A. This reduces the key man risk of getting rejected by a single biased reviewer. That is really, really annoying. B. Studies that show no statistically signficant effect are often left out of the literature. Having a more comprehensive database could improve meta-analyses (studies of lots of studies). The bad: A. You probably cannot publish to a good journal with copyright and also to this system. B. Cheating, but let's assume cheating can be minimised. C. I cannot envision how this would look on my academic cv. "So, everybody can publish on this?" "Erm, but I ranked highly..." Is that really going to fly? The ugly: Democratising science? Never gonna work.

but linux is still comparatively hard to use, full stop. Many computer users have never even installed an operating system, never mind trying to get their home scanner folder shared across their house using samba. Also, Ubuntu is ugly, a minger, a dog, beaten down. That has to change too. As to the specific post, linux is better with competition methinks. The lack of competition is precisely why Microsoft get away with being so trousers at everything.
