  • As solely a basketball fan, it was a tremendously fun game to watch: Lakers up 11 in the 3rd; Pistons up by 6 late in the 4th, and that amazingly clutch pedestrian (for him) shot by Kobe. Props to Luke Walton--he played calmly and had some very pret…

  • Quote: Originally posted by tonton But this is the reflexive form of "to be", and the verb takes its number from the object. I was taken aback by your post (it's been awhile since I taught grammar, and I'm a bit--or a lot--rusty on the periph…

  • Quote: Originally posted by BRussell I'm not sure I get the difference between #2 and #3. Why is "One-half of the faculty is retiring this summer" OK, but "One-half of the faculty have doctorates" OK too? In #2, it essentially is one unit (a…

  • Quote: Originally posted by midwinter This is incorrect because you cannot replace "two thousand miles" with "it." The reason it sounds correct to you is that the implication is that the subject is "the distance of two thousand miles," which wou…

  • Is the transition longer in duration than either of the two clips?

  • Thanks, but I was luckier than anything: 3 of my first round wins went to 7 games, and twice the lower seed won.

  • PowerMac DP800 QuickSilver/1.5GB/GF3/4x120GB drives: My GF and I purchased it for her in August 2001 when she began grad school. We use the Apple 17" CRT Studio Display with it. iBook G3 700/30GB/640MB: We purchased it for my use on May 2002, but…

  • I'm picking Tampa Bay in 6. They're very similar to the Flames in speed, but have more playmaking talent. Kiprusoff and Khabibulin cancel each other out. Looking forward to Hockey Night in Canada's broadcast from Calgary--I love when a town goes nut…

  • RE: Ben Wallace His 8-10 FGA was an anomaly, I'll be the first to admit. That performance, though, shows he must be guarded. Under Carlisle, Ben had no permission to shoot the ball--unless it was slop under the board or slam dunks. Opposing teams…

  • I was fortunate to have a father that was in upper management at Ford. We had two new company lease cars every year, so I until I was 23 (when he retired in 1990), I was able to drive a new car at minimal cost--usually Escorts or Mercury Tracers (th…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph According to the liner notes, it's in 5/8. Not that it makes all that much difference in practice, if you're talking about the time signature for an entire song... I agree, it's more of a tomayto/tomahto …

    in Designers: Have you given up Quark for InDesign? Comment by scottib May 2004
  • My GF has used Quark from its inception till ID 2.0 was released. For a while, she used Quark v.4.x, v.5, and ID concurrently, then dropped Quark outright (though we still have a box with Quark for past projects if need be). She's been interviewi…
