Comment on Christianity and the ACLU by Henrick Townsend

I’ve been discriminated against by the county that I live in and I haven’t been able to find any justice. I’ve been abused, housing discrimination, police brutality, racial discriminated against. All I ask for is justice this has to stop.

Comment on Why I hate George W. Bush by Brad Koplowitz

Brad Koplowitz — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:01:46 +0000

“Our Brave New World” is a new book about George Bush. To a conservative, this book is kryptonite. But, for liberals who love to hate George W. Bush, Our Brave New World is addicting. Rants, which originally appeared on the internet concurrent with his Presidency, will take you back to the inanity and malfeasance of Bush and his cronies - Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Rove, Ashcroft, “Brownie,” Gonzales and Abramoff. Relive such unforgettable moments as Bush proclaiming “mission accomplished,” the search for the weapons of mass destruction, the revelations at Abu Ghraib, the paranoia of Plamegate, the horror of Hurricane Katrina, and the helplessness of financial meltdown. With sardonic wit, and allusions and quotations from anti-utopian literature, popular culture, and the works of authors like T.S. Elliot and Joseph Conrad, Our Brave New World chronicles a nightmare era in American history.

I am Artie the white arctic fox my name as a furry.Sex is not evil no matter which way whoever slices it. The almighty God of heaven and earth that has given us all of the life on this planet,and the gift to make life. In the beginning what God made was very good.. sex was one of those things that he called very good.Do not call sex evil. behaving like a hateful troll is very bad,and evil.

Comment on Seattle Metro Tunnel Beating by Tina

It’s obvious this isn’t just “a group of teens” when the men are legal adults and one is 20! Whatever 3 adult men are doing with a pair of 15-yr. old girls, it certainly can’t be legitimate. Sounds like King Metro has more problems than uncaring guards. When the police complain they are “tired of all these kids causing trouble”, can’t they see probable gang activity and recognize that MORE steps need to be taken to prevent it, not just ignore it and hope it goes away? Besides beefing up security, sounds like Seattle needs youth activity centers. I only hope big cities resist the urge to cut back police forces with all the budget crises. Youth reflect the stress of the jobless situation and I would expect things to worsen before getting better.

Comment on Microsoft Excel .xls and .xlsx weirdness by woodymax

woodymax — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 09:01:49 +0000

FYI

Info Regarding File Extension Xlsx

Microsoft has stated several benefits to using the new .xlsx format including reduced file size, increased security, improved interoperability between Office products, and better file recovery technology. In terms of the file size issue, it is reported that the new .xlsx file can be up to 75% smaller than previous .xls files. Excel automatically compresses the .xlsx file (using ZIP compression) when the file is saved, and uncompresses it when it is re-opened. The compression allows for easier and quicker transfer of files between computers or over a network.

The .xlsx format is essentially a container but Microsoft has introduced new terminology to reflect its new open formats. Instead of calling their structure a container, they have chosen the word “package”. Inside the package are three groups of “parts”. The first group contains three individual parts that store information about document properties, application properties, and customized document properties. The second group contains the data for the individual worksheets, while the third group stores information about styles, charts, and strings. The third group of parts is stored relationally to each individual worksheet.

Errors with .xlsx files are the same as one would expect from any data file. Corrupt data can cause Excel to not display the worksheets correctly, it might not load the document at all, or it could cause a software crash. Corrupt data in an .xlsx file is unlikely to cause any significant damage to the operating system. The most common error with these files is caused when importing the documents into non-Microsoft spreadsheet applications. Though many other packages claim support for the .xlsx file, the conversion in most cases does not go perfectly. In some cases users will get an “unable to open” error. Individuals should check with their software developer to see if there are any updates or bug fixes to address the problem.

Windows users have the most options for programs that open .xlsx files including Microsoft Excel 2007, Excel 2000, XP, and 2003 (with converters installed), OxygenOffice Professional, OpenOffice.org Calc, and Panergy docXConverter. Mac Users can choose from Microsoft Excel 2008, Apple Numbers, OpenOffice.org Calc, and Panergy docXConverter. For Linux systems there is OxygenOffice Professional and OpenOffice.org Calc.

Other third party conversion programs are available such as Batch XLS and XLSX Converter. This program does just what its name implies; it allows for batch conversion of dozens of file formats including .xls and .xlsx. The program is Windows only, for XP, 2000, 98, and ME. Another Windows only conversion program is Convert XLS from Softinterface, Inc. Users who prefer an on-line conversion service can try Zamzar or SheetConvert.

Comment on Good things Bush has done by Hillhulk

(Hillhulk) to mike: I do agree with you in most respects. However I do believe that the USA is going down the tubes but not to the point of a third world country “yet” It is also still the home of the free. Here the little guy has a chance. In other places the little guy won’t get a chance… That said I also do think that we “Americans” should try to start paying that HUGE debt over are head… I also think that this county is full of corruption yes. BUT I also Know there is still hope… P.S. Mike when I first wrote on here I was half dead from sleep deprivation. So I am very sorry about any spelling errors I made. I will try to remember to check my spelling better. P.P.S. I do like others input.
