Fences solved many of my problems. Take it for what it's worth: It actually makes the otherwise arduous, chewing on broken glass Windows XP experience tolerable. Even pleasant.

[quote]Amen to that. But I held my nose & voted John. Hard for me to imagine things could be this bad, let alone any worse, had he won.[/quote] True enough. But I'm bad at altruism. A Chicagoan in the white house is a good thing for Chicagoans:)

[quote]Why? Because I would rather be on good terms with them rather than being at war with them. What I don't care for are those who, regardless of how nice we are, they still insult us , call us names and make it seem as if we are the bad guys.[/quote] That's all fine and good I suppose, but I think the post-9/11 world requires a bit more stick a little less carrot.

[quote]Obama promised to "heal" US relationships around the world (he didn't),[/quote] This is one area that I don't have a whole lot of lovin' for. The whole idea implies that 1. I care about our 'relationships' with the world 2. That I care about these relationships 3. That I'm willing to sacrifice something for these relationships. Look, I only voted for the guy for 4 reasons: He's a sox fan,

He's certainly had more than one disaster, but I say 'think' only because calling what he pushed through Congress 'anemic' seems to imply he should have indebted us even more.[/quote] Are you high? Seriously. The only thing that statement implies is that what was done didn't work.

Stupid Excel Trick: Duct Tape Bar Charts in Blogging JoeUser Forums

This one is pretty much old as dirt and not really all that elegant, but: It can be implemented now , to whatever stupid report your boss has you do - without you having to really learn anything new It generally has a little bit of 'wow factor' to Excel noobs (like your boss). Even though it's a stupid trick You can couple it with some static color, conditional formatting, stuff that may already be in your tool box If you're totally bad at Excel, th

Perhaps your clear intensity over the issue is making you see things; Maybe not in the insightful way which you think.

Incidentally, this isn't the guy's only disaster. Couple the healthcare bill with the sort of anemic shots at fixing the economy..... This really isn't quite the pivot he wants to be on at this stage in the game.

Wow! I need to have evidence of something to be curious about a weird social phenomena, lest I'd be drawing conclusions about 'hysterical hypthetical non-effects'. Something like that sounds pretty hysterical to me. The whole situation just struck me as bizarre. I couldn't figure out why a couple of cleaning ladies decided to switch languages because I came within earshot. That happening in the otherwise sterile strip mall that is Phoe

Many are legal Hispanic immigrants who are hardworking, honest folks.[/quote] No idea what their status was. Can't really say I care either.

I had a similar experience last time I was out in AZ. As soon as the cleaning ladies saw me the english started. Makes me rather proud to live in a sanctuary city where these folks can go about their day until the immigration issue resolves itself or blows over-----one way or the other.

OK, maybe I'm wrong about the whole iPad as a threat to Windows thing..... in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I think I'm still digesting this post , which probably does as good a job as can be done making an argument that the iPad (or probably, more to the point - products like it) represent a threat to Windows. In my comments I was about the price point vs the product recieved and was pretty adamant about the iPad costing too much while providing comparitively very little functionality. Not to say that it it

Reply to iPad definitely a threat to Windows in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

I'm with StarCruzr: iPad can't do what my desktop/lappy can. Thus, it doesn't replace my desktop/lappy. I look at it this way: it's a bit like the EEE which I foolishly bought thinking I would get all of this mileage out of it. I like the idea of instant on though. I'm not sure if I like it to the tune of 600 bucks though:)

Reply to iPad definitely a threat to Windows in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Windows Mobile already works on ARM. A full fledged Windows 7 would be dog slow on Arm though. The problem with taking Windows 7 to any platform other than x64/x86 would be that any software that isn't .NET would not work... And let's face it: despite being established in the cell phone space, nobody really wants a winmo phone. I can't see anybody getting excited about a winmo tablet. But w
