schestowitzI currently use LyX as a front end to LaTeX (I can do LaTeX too, but it's time consuming). I am writing a 300-page experiments log, having done the same before. My thesis template for LyX receives about 5 downloads a day, so many theses out there are derived from my template, which gives me a warm fuzzy feeling :-)Nov 02 11:02

schestowitzI was first made aware of this tactic in some videos about Creationists in YouTube. In some ways, MS and Apple are like religions, especially for their technical evangelists (like Guy Kawasaki).Nov 02 13:55
schestowitz"The Gish Gallop is an informal name for a debating technique that involves drowning the opponent in such a torrent of half-truths, lies, and straw-man arguments that the opponent cannot possibly answer every falsehood that has been raised. Usually this results in many involuntary twitches in frustration as the opponent struggles just to decide where to start. It is named after creationism activist and professional debater Nov 02 13:55
