    I'm still around... Happy Thanksgiving everyone. *huggles for everyone who's open to receiving them* When the holidays get here, I tend to get lost in personal crap. thank you, @Invader *takes a chocolate leaf* *leaves part of a gingerbread house, for construction*

    @Tenchi Masaki Unfortunately, trying to get everyone on the same page is impossible as it stands now... an Office '13 file will open in OpenOffice, but will probably be missing some formatting... same the other way around. And, that's the problem... each piece of software has it's own way of...

    @Jacqueline Hyde The current group (no offense to anyone) does admittedly limit who might be able to "attend", but if it's in advance enough, maybe more will attend, and if it's a regular-ish thing, maybe more will attend.

    It's the same way with the patent system or the copyright system... whoever can jump through all the hoops first and publish owns it, and if you can get it in a paid-to-see magazine or something, then you win... it's too bad all society is like that now, and that's why open source will never...

    From what I see, dogma doesn't figure too much into it anymore, though... there is a fair amount of resistance to anything that challenges the norm, but nothing like it used to be. I also keep an eye on oceanographic discoveries, too.

    Look at the early 20th Century... Tesla was considered crazy... wireless power, remote controlled boats, transferring power over long distances, alternating current... what do we have nowadays?

    @Claire Yeon If anyone wants to look up what I was going to bring to the "table" for Halloween, if you don't mind gore, look up "Raw" (in French, but everything I've seen has English subtitles) and "Cradle Of Fear"... keep in mind, these are rated R for a reason, so personal judgment is a thing...

    As long as the makers of the gears (whoever they were, historically speaking) marked everything fine, I could make them without even using a calculator

    Yeah, the Hippocratic Oath is a good thing... someday, I hope to see something putting it to the test on here (I have ideas... Chase knows them)
