someone explain to me why there isn’t a decent FREE wordprocessor for OS-X? Note: Neo-office and OpenOffice (with x11) don’t count. Edit: web-based stuff like writely and thinkfree also don’t count. Edit again: I forgot Abiword. It behaves similarly to neo-office only worse. so it also doesn’t count.
It seems that there is enough demand [...]
Funniest lead I’ve seen in a long time:
SEARCH outfit Google has managed to tell the US government to go forth and multiply over its demands that it hand over details of keywords that its punters choose to search.
Google beats off the government (*snickers again*)
and btw, yes I know that the article is more like funny, [...]
Is this my third post in one day?
I realized today that I need a single place to store, save, and refer to lots of little tiny bits of information… things like notes to self, lists of movies, lists of books, things I don’t want to forget, birthdays, etc. It’s irritating as fuck when i [...]
Dear everyone on my friend’s list.
My friend is conducting research for his Master’s degree on the use and understanding of wi-fi and wants people to take his survey. Don’t ask me about this method of “spread the word” survey distribution. I’m sure that will come up in the analysis of his data.

I was making coffee. And it was somehow normal that no liquid would fall into the coffee pot. Instead, it was this dry substance that looked like coffee grounds. The pot was dirty, and it was getting too hot. A drop of coffee-crud fell in to top left-hand side of the [...]
Articulating Lawrence’s theories deadens them in the novel. the metaphors become dramatizations of his obscure language rather than open metaphors with the suggestion of what he’s writing about.
Similarly, The Rainbow is only successful because Ursula’s story is unfinished and unresolved. We don’t know what happens to her–only that she has the potential to become a [...]
Someone explain to me why the FRACK it took the cylons a whole year to travel one light-year when they’ve always had better FTL capabilities than the fleet?
Seems like a plot/script/whatever error.
It would have been funny if they didn’t have FTL capabilities. BUT THEY DO. SO IT WASN’T. It was just STOOPID.
Edit: DUH. [...]
All three of my supervisors at work have a great work relationship with each other and also all have offices within 2 feet of each others…literally. Yet today, they hilariously apparently decided to communicate largely via email and all three of them basically passed each other in the writing center on their way in [...]
