Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's Asus like? My sister's looking to not spend much on a laptop, and they're just above emachine at Best Buy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I need Word 2007 help. I am attempting to create an outlined list-- what is now called multilevel list, apparently. When I press enter, instead of giving me the next entry in the list, it reverts the style back to normal. Why is it doing this? I've made hundreds of outlines in prior versions of Word, so it's not something easy. This is really starting to piss me off, honestly, since it must be some kind of "feature."

ita, the biggest complaint I've heard about Asus netbooks is that the keyboard is painfully cramped. Which probably varies depending on how big the users hands are.

bon, my iteration of Word 2007 automatically creates lists whether I want it to or not. Is the list icon highlighted in the top bar while you're typing?

Why is it doing this?

Well I don't know about 2007, but in previous versions it is very easy to get the list sprm records mixed up in the binary format of Word documents. I had to fix a lot of list bugs the Word viewer for Quick View Plus back in the day, and let me tell you sorting out the sprms for a multilevel list is not trivial. There is an story behind those bug fixes, but that would take a while.

One this you can try if it is an actual bug you are running into, is to save out the document using 'Save As...' instead of 'Save' and reloading it. With the old binary file that would make Word order all of the document records in sequence and that could fix problems that were caused by actual bugs in Word. With Word 2007, this trick may no longer be relevant, I don't know.

If it isn't an actual bug, but some hoops the UI is throwing you, I have no idea, I don't use Word very much.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Cash adores it. Jess adored it with some reservations about the sound until DZ decided to use it as a toy boat. I and a ton of people I work with adore it, with the caveat that the software is good for the things it does well but limited for more ambitious projects. Gud was thinking of one for Xmas gifts, which probably means it will be tested in space soon. Did I miss anyone?

have you used it at concerts? does the sound get distorted in loud environments?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm so behind the times when it comes to cellphone stuff. Is it possible to get a 3G data-only plan from someone? My current cellphone is not 3G, but my Aspire One netbook has 3G data capability.
