What, Koumei's making alcohol work like Viagra to you?

All I know if I saw an attractive lady at a bar and she started getting attracted to me the last thing I'm going to do is ruin it by drinking more booze. Unless she is already bombed and then there are potential legal questions so just getting bombed together might be the safest bet.
Otherwise, from what I've read in the ultimate tea diet, a few cups of tea not only couteracts the damaging effects of booze, it also stimulates parts of the brain that makes you senstitive and compasionate which might be more effective than getting bombed and not fully functional.
I'm going on a Haiwai cruise in the fall. I will take notes.

Yes, far be it from me to have a computer that comes by default able to read and write more languages and in such just happens not to use the same not specified font.

How the hell did you extract that from my post...
I agree that it's Crissa's fucked up computer making problems, not lack of insight on our part.
There is another thread where I made the same statement but I can't find it..
Crissa: try Arial or Times New Roman.

Fvck. The emoticon hadn't shown, so it looked like "... and Koumei."

Gosh! What do you know? There's about a dozen major variants of Arial, not mentioning that each one has its own variations. Or that some are free, some come with various computers, and others are very expensive.
Look, does it kill you to use standard character definitions? It's not called 'Universal Character Set' for nothing. Come into the global community. Come into the twentieth century. These problems were solved twenty years ago.

No matter what board I go to, any discussion about sex or gender invariably winds up talking about the Mac.
By the way the Universal Character Set is so 20th century. It was replaced by the Unicode Standard in 2000. Yes my ASCII based end of day pricing and reference feed can't handle it either. Annoying people from all over the world entering data in whatever language they please!

And MS Office doesn't?
As a recent convert to Ubuntu Linux, I find that everything starts up faster in Linux than Windows. Granted, I don't have as much stuff on the Ubuntu partition of my disk drive, so it might get slower later on, but I don't think anything started this fast on Windows even on Day One.

That's funny, tzor, the wikipedia entry says they're the same age and were developed at the same time and serve different purposes of the same end.
Look up Universal Transfer Code, also.
Either way... Sending someone random above-128 codes without telling them what system (or even font) it is is silly. And then further not using UTF or a similar scheme but instead depending upon a system and language dependent font... It's dumb.
Any time I see someone making this mistake, I know they're unprofessional. They don't understand applying accessibility standards to their documents. That they're cheap fools who shouldn't be trusted with my money.
But then again, that's one reason I love working for Bruce. I get to tell other people of these small 'tells'...

Nope. MS is sleazy, and basically has secret OS hooks and preloads stuff such that their programs and load run a lot faster (because a lot of the overhead is already paid).
I'd be running [Gobo] linux, but I don't know of any good linux handwriting recognition software. So I make do with Cygwin when necessary.

You can get a windows emulator if you really need to run a windows-only program.
Or you could be a big ol' wuss like Absentminded Wizard and dual-boot .

I was going to ask how recent a version of Office you were running, but then I remembered that I ran the OO preloader, so comparing experiences wouldn't do any good. This whole "it's preloaded to artificially beat the competition" thing seems to be pretty spotty for Microsoft, though. I've heard people talk about how much faster IE loads compared to Firefox, but I've also heard people complain about slow IE load times. That includes me. IE and Firefox seemed to load about the same for me in both XP and Vista. Of course, I didn't time them, so it's a completely subjective impression.

Ah bloatware. I don't want it doing shit like that by default. Sounds like the 'features' of windows to me.

Yeah, wouldn't want to have that stuff in the OS rather than make a different version of every OS and program for every particular language (because windows programs compiled for one language may not run on a system compiled in a different one)... Or have to buy add-on packs because you speak, read, or deal in more than one language.
Admittedly, windows is much better about that latter part than it used to be... But it still has problems sometimes going belly-up because it allows you to compile programs unable to cope with a non-native character set.
C'mon, even Amiga didn't have that problem. It's not rocket science, Microsoft has just spent years marketing an inferior system.
I don't care, just get your accessibility right or go home. Why would you want to look ignorant, anyhow?

When Linux becomes the gamer's OS I'll set up the most bare bones install possible. Until then Windows will be using an ever increasing amount of hardware to do crap that I don't care about. I care as much about random languages as hardware accelerated menu systems.

Wow. If I knew how to do that, I totally would - just because it pisses off Crissa.

Let's cool down and get back to talking about the relation between Sigma, alcohol, Koumei and Viagra ...
(I wouldn't bring our - mine and Koumei's - reading failure again normally, but with the current state of affairs, it's at least funnier.)

Many years ago the Knights of Columbus group I belonged to had a close contest between two people for what would be a run for high state office. One of them worked for an ice cream vendor whose trucks go out to the streets selling the product. The other worked for Pfizer.
It was the battle between "Viagra Man" and "Mister Softee."
Mister Softee lost by the way, but Viagra Man failed to win the war and never got elected.
