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 [...]
The Corvallist recently wrote about Nathanael Blake’s recent anti-islam piece that yesterday incited peaceful protest by Muslim students on campus. The Corvallist’s blog post is a much more serious criticism than mine is, but I did write about it too in my blogspot blog. I really want to cross-post it here, but I [...]
I’m not sure if Nathanael Blake is guilty of hijacking a religion to hurt people, but he IS guilty of hijacking a pen (or an apple computer in Snell Hall) to instill anger and hate. Although the article I’m writing about is almost a month old, the Corvallist drew my attention to this [...]
So, after my compy being winblows-free for SO LONG, I reinstalled win2k last night on my smaller hard drive so that I could put ubuntu on my newer bigger one, and it’s funny… before I even could finish DOWNLOADING firefox, I was already getting gambling and porn popups and requests to add hotsex38382.com as my [...]
I’m really fricken annoyed with customer-service conventions and the way they dictate how to answer questions. I asked a pretty direct question, “can I make a payment using a rebate card?” and a simple “no you cannot” would have been fine. Instead they write 5 paragraphs about what things I can do online, like [...]

I just had a heated conversation with a friend about how financial aid screws us over a lot… she’s complaining about how some grant she usually gets got decreased, and how she was given a different grant instead and she was trying to understand why they’d “screw her over” like that.
Blah blah blah.
She’s fucking wearing [...]
I’m probably not the only person insanely irritated by the stupid debate about whether or not Creationism should be taught in school instead of (or along side of) Evolution.
It seems to me that people who believe that ‘Evolution’ or any other scientific theory should be replaced by a creation myth has lost track of [...]
Metroid Prime II: Echos is almost too hard to be fun.
I’m not joking.
Remember those ice beasts that shoot freezing ice at you and you can only kill them by exploding their ice-crusted asses and then shooting them until they pop in a neat gory explosion? (heh heh. i liked killing those guys.)
Now picture one of [...]
It’s just so totally awesome when I search and search and search my bank’s website and my account pages looking for the answer to a specific and simple question, finally give up and email customer support, and then not five minutes later I find what I’m looking for.
The same kind of thing seems to happen [...]
Suck my pee pee, microsoft!
“Partner sources say Microsoft is wavering on the extent to which it plans to support CSS2 with IE 7.0. Developers have been clamoring for Microsoft to update its CSS support to support the latest W3C standards for years. But Microsoft is leaning toward adding some additional CSS2 support to IE 7.0, [...]
