While we're on the subject of M$ quirks ... why can I type "em-dashes" using ALT+0151 in the copy of Wurd I use at work -- but I cannot do this on my personal copy at home? Which program setting and/or Windows configuration governs this? (Both using XP and Word2000).

Are any flavors of Linux currently more adept at exploiting the AMD64 chip than others? I know that Gentoo has a robust package available. Last I check with Debian, they had one version better suited for the Intel, but were working on AMD-specific one. To compound my problem, I hope to add VMWare once it's up and running (to run WindowsXP as a virtual 32-bit OS).

Bike Rack Etiquette. Can anyone explain why certain asshats insist on parking their bikes horizontally against the front of bike racks, thereby taking up a dozen+ spaces? Am I missing something? Is there some reason beyond the obvious selfishness? Are they oblivious to the fact that pissed off people (like me) will gleefully let the air out of their tires ... or worse?

HistoryFilter: Odd reference to McCarthy in
Kerry's 1971 Senate Testimony. He said:
"I realize that we cannot negotiate treaties and I realize that even my visits in Paris, precedents had been set by Senator McCarthy and others, in a sense are on the borderline of private individuals negotiating, et cetera. What was the incident involving McCarthy that set a precedent?

Looking for a small appliance they used to sell on TV to make hamburger patties. It was simply a clear plastic tube with circular dividers. Drop in meat, divider, meat, divider, meat, diver, meat, etc. -- then smush it into even patties. Can't Google, cuz I don't know what the hell it was called.

WinDoze: You're setting up your new machine. Which freely available utilities, gizmos and doodads ALWAYS have a place on your computer? WinAmp? WinZip? WinRAR? Acrobat Reader? ICQ (or variants)? For me, on a WinDoze system I can't live without
IrfanView or
DCEnhance.

I swore I wasn't gonna collect any more computer languages. Then I read up on
HLA and installed it along with
FASM,
MASM32 and the
really nice
RadASM IDE -- and got pretty jazzed. Anyone have any experience and thoughts to share?

I'm trying to find an open source "playing card" set that I would be free to use in a small game I'm curently coding in C++. (Trying to familiarize myself with a couple graphic libraries and doing a bit of experimentation with cross-compiling).

WhatAmIMissingFilter: I've been waiting for an optimum time to ask this on the main page in an appropriate thread, but the opportunity hasn't arisen. Thus: Exactly HOW is the government getting away with enforcing these so-called "free speech" zones? Allowing for
reasonable public safety measures, it's still clearly at odds with the constitution. (I'm sure places like Planned Parenthood would dearly "love" to relocate protesters to a deserted roped-off area 6 blocks away.) Is it just that no one has called them on it yet?

Anyone ever hear of < ctacb>> Magazine? This was publisher
Stas Namin's eponymous magazine on Russian life and culture; a gorgeous monthly (printed in Russian) that I used to get through the local Barnes & Noble. They suddenly dropped it with no explanation. I'm curious: did it go out of business? Is there any other US outlets? I'd love to subscribe.

Any horse handicappers here? What are your favorite techniques? Which race

Speaking of NAV ... I just bought the Norton Security Suite and am about to install it. I lack a cruft cleaner (Norton's CleanSweep seems to be only available in a bundle I don't want). Thus: I'm looking at MacAfee's "QuickClean". I'm worried that it will trip over Norton's stuff since it appears they both monitor a few of the same things.

Anyone familiar with programming in Delphi and/or Kylix? Seeking to make some very simple (hopefully cross-platform) apps, I'm on the verge of taking the plunge and need someone to encourage/dissuade me. (I have a vanilla C background and kinda recall Pascal, if that matters).

Any good "distributed computing" projects out there?
SETI is boring. As I recall, it only intersects with likely regions twice, due to the placement of the telescope. They just rehash the same data anyway. Moreover, they really don't have any lack of volunteers. I did
DISTRIBUTED NET for a long time. Slim pickin's there; they only have two projects at present. Kinda wanna support another project for awhile. The
MERSENNE PRIME group had a resounding success last year and Iguess they are on to the next one. Maybe the
FOLDING PROTEIN gang? I dunno ...
