anyone familiar with "quark"

[HEyHEY]

Okay, I can't remember how to highlight a section and then use your arrow keys to move it as one block...anyone know?

[thebigidea]

1. I thought you were asking about the obscure sci-fi comedy series

[DarkPhenyx]

2. That was my first thought too.

How dare he tease us like that! :)

4. I thought the ferengi

In DS9

20. Obscure!?

Everyone knows about Quark. Mel Brooks send up of Starwars prior to Space Balls?! And he tweeked Star Trek while he was at it.

5. What do you mean by a "section?"

Select something with the Item Tool, then nudge it with the arrow keys.

If you're using the Content Tool, it won't nudge.

6. I thought

up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom (the 6 flavors of quarks in the standard model of physics, but that is just the science geek in me). :silly:

[Kamika]

7. heh

you're one of 'em intellectuals ain't you

[Dudley_DUright]

8. Guilty as charged,

but I really do like Star Trek, so that Ferengi bartender was my second thought (which is pretty pathetic, first I science geek out, then I Trek geek out). :silly:^2

[Kamika]

9. dats ok

I'm not intellectual but I'm a trek geek

10. HEyHEY, you're an editor, right???

will you do me a favor and tell me to quit screwing around in the Lounge and write the two stories that have to be filed by tomorrow morning???.

[HEyHEY]

11. get yo ass in gear girl! You don't wanna ....

have to explain to your editor the lounge is the reason the paper ain't done!

[LuLu550]

12. thanks, HEyHEY

Geeze, I thought I'd be here all night waiting for you to crack the whip!
But geeze, how many school board stories can one write in one night, I ask you?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

14. Depends on what the per word rate is! At least it does for me.

[LuLu550]

16. You get paid by the WORD?

holy cow, I thought that went out with the cuneiform tablet!
I get paid by the story. The more stories I can spin out of one meeting the better. The problem is, I cover a couple different school boards, they are all dealing with more or less the same issues of flat state aid, huge increase in pension costs and health insurance...so I have to reiterate the same basic story line over and over with different numbers and people.
BORING!

[LuLu550]

17. ahhhh! get me out of here!

Must write about Bethlehem Central Schools needing six new teachers to respond to enrollment growth at a cost of $342,000......can't MOVE...lounge must be BLACK HOLE....:scared:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

23. Yeah, magazines are still in the dark ages. At least small ones

are.

13. Do you mean the delicious, yogurt like substance sold in Germany?

If so, I'll take banana.

[Aristus]

15. "Use The Source, Quark!"

"The Source? The source of what?!"

:-)B-)

[jmowreader]

18. I don't think you can move a section with arrow keys

But you can with the mouse. Start by going to Preferences and making sure "drag and drop text editing" is on. Then just select what you want to move and drag it to where you want it.

You know the five-click method of text selection, right?

One click places the insertion pointer.
Two clicks select a word.
Three select a full line.
Four selects the paragraph. (In MS Word, three clicks selects the paragraph.)
Five selects the entire contents of the text chain.

19. The Top quark??

I happened to be at Fermi Lab in Feb. of '95 on the day that thay announces the discovery ot verification of the top quark. I was there for a meeting about the design of an industrial building to refurbish the magents that use for theior Tevatron project but I grabbed the press releases anyway.

Amazing pieces of science!

[Dudley_DUright]

22. I was just down the road at Argonne National Lab

that same year. That was an exciting announcement. I got to see a talk by one of the co-discovers shortly afterward at Argonne.

[never cry wolf]

24. My college physics prof worked at Argonne

He is the guy that got me interested in particle physics. These press releases are something else, TOTALLY greek to anyone but a scientist.

(kinda like my post above, gotta do spell check!)

21. Yes, Conrad Janis co-starred...

Had a plant life form named Ficus and two chicks; one was a clone of the other but nobody was sure which one was the clone - themselves included. 7 episodes, but was ahead of its time. Sci-fi wasn't big then (1977) but is now.
