In Word, how can I keep a straight edge on the right side without justifing it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.142.163.229 ( talk) .
Left Align
This text is left-aligned so you get a streight line on the left side.
CENTER
This text is centered so all the text appears in the center.
Right Align
This text is right-aligned so you get a streight line on the right side.
Justify
This text is justified so you get a streight line on the both sides. This is done by changing the spacing between the letters / words on each line to make them line up on bothe sides.

It's not essential for the question, but note anyway, as 86.41.151.218 pointed out, that justification means that both left and right side of a block of text align with their respective margins. — Bromskloss 10:13, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

We know that 3d graphics accelerators generate 3d graphics but display only 2d field of vision.Any idea what tweak can be applied (something like the stereo command in python)to many of the opel and other games so that they produce stereo view continously which can be used for 3d viewing???
hi,friends.myself jack.I have installed java j2sdk1.4.0 in the c drive and set classpath using environment variables.after creating a simple application helloworldand using javac it is compiled ,but during runtime it shows "Exception in thread main 'Noclassdeffounderror':helloworld.Why is this happening and how should I solve it.please help.

Sometimes on Microsoft Word, if I write something before text I've already written, it strangely deltes and replaces that text. What causes it? -- 212.219.230.119 11:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

2 machines on the same hub, running the same OS (Win2K pro), one resolving domain names fine, the other not. Can traceroute to the DNServer from both machines. nslookup results in

Here's my situation: I'm a college student, living in a dorm, currently using an approximately 3 year old custom built desktop. I have a dual monitor setup just because it makes it much easier to view more at once. However lately I've been really wishing for a laptop, which would likely become my desktop replacement. I've always been a PC user but recently I've been using Macs (a couple of my roommates have powerbooks) and I've gotten to like them a lot. The new macbook pro release has got me thinking that I should consider a mac over a pc laptop.
My question is, what would you guys personally recommend for a laptop? Mac or PC? What is the overall better choice? I used to play a lot of computer games but lately I haven't really been doing that, though I assume eventually I will get back into a game or two. I want something powerful but also sleek and easy to use. I really like the macbook keyboard from previous experience.
Also I've been reading about Leopard, which will be released sometime in Spring 07. Would you guys recommend, if you do recommend a Mac, waiting till spring, when Leopard is released? Also I have heard rumors about a new, much more powerful chip coming out sometime next year, could anyone shed any light on what is coming for the future, either spring or early to mid-summer?
If you want portability and battery life, a Sony or Lenovo is your best bet (I made myself choose between a Lenovo Thinkpad X60s and Sony VAIO TX3; Sony won, I'm happy with it, although I've heard the Lenovo support is really great, and they have coated screens - better for your eyes...) However, if battery life and small size aren't considerations, go with Mac all the way! You may be able to get Windows OEM deals from your local Mac retailers, as well as cheaper deals on RAM than from Apple direct. On the other hand, local retailers can't give you the full educational discount, so you'll have to weigh those against each other. Not that you'll ever want to use Windows unless you have some very specific program you need to run (like GIS software, alas!) Btw, all the laptops I've mentioned will run large external displays via VGA, but probably not dual head. Iirc the graphics cards in Macs are capable of doing this, but not sure how you connect them. Samsung make nice laptops, too. - User:Samsara (Mr. Gates took my tilde key)
My sister recently bought a Mac Powerbook as her only computer. She is the only Mac user in our entire family. I'm the only Linux user. Neither of us have Windows. JIP | Talk 15:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
that weighs under 9 pounds. What company sells it, do you think? Are there any companies that allow you to make absolutely custom laptops that are any good? 70.108.215.106 23:50, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
