VATICAN CITY (AP) -- In a joint press conference in St. Peter's Square this morning, MICROSOFT Corp. and the Vatican announced that the Redmond software giant will acquire the Roman Catholic Church in exchange for an unspecified number of shares of MICROSOFT common stock. If the deal goes through, it will be the first time a computer software company has acquired a major world religion.

With the acquisition, Pope John Paul II will become the senior vice-president of the combined company's new Religious Software Division, while MICROSOFT senior vice-presidents Michael Maples and Steven Ballmer will be invested in the College of Cardinals, said MICROSOFT Chairman Bill Gates.

"We expect a lot of growth in the religious market in the next five to ten years," said Gates. "The combined resources of MICROSOFT and the Catholic Church will allow us to make religion easier and more fun for a broader

This story is a hoax and no one seems to know who started this terrible joke.
What the hell would MICROSOFT need a church for? Oh! Christian voice- automated computers! THAT would be the day!
considering Pope John Paul II is dead and the current pope is Benedict, I think this is a rumor/hoax started b4 the death of John Paul II.
well since technology is kind of a pseudo state, in a sense, i guess you can say gates and the pope hope to once again unify church and state. further more in this article gates says that they expect growth in religion. well when microsoft goes catholic, it becomes religious brain wash. and then people will call the gates the pope, or maybe a buddah reincarnate. wow what a concept. i wonder if gates will next try to buy peices of america in exchange for "unspecified number of shares", so then the gap between state and religion is bridged by technology.

wow what a concept.
Very funny!
prettty crazy!

what is bill gaining tho?

technology with religon sounds kinda strange but okay?
Don't believe every thing you breath.
How stupid to fall for that.

Poem translation?

can anyone give me a basic summary or the idea of this poem??

Meditation 1

By Edward Taylor

What Love is this of thine, that Cannot bee

In thine Infinity, O Lord, Confinde,

Unless it in thy very Person see,

Infinity, and Finity Conjoyn'd?

What hath thy Godhead, as not satisfide

Marri'de our Manhood, making it its Bride?

Oh, Matchless Love! filling Heaven to the brim!

O're running it: all running o're beside

This World! Nay Overflowing Hell; wherein

For thine Elect, there rose a mighty Tide!

That there our Veans might through thy Person bleed,

To quench those flames, that else would on us feed

Poem translation?husqvarna

What kind of love is this of Yours, God? Is it possible that Your love is infinity and finite, together?

Your love for mankind is so infinite, that it overwhelms everything.

Your love is like nothing else, it fills heaven, over the whole world, and even overflows Hell.

Hell would like to consume us, but Your love even quenches those flames.

PS: in the original poem, I'd imagine that words like THINE, THY were capitalized? Refering to God?

Google documents has a powerpoint presentation tool for free, and it is web based, meaning you can access it from anywhere you have internet access, from any computer. Not exactly powerpoint from Microsoft, but its nice for a freebie.

openoffice.org also office a nice set of office suite type products for free you can create a powerpoint from.

Most new laptops and desktops come with a trial version of MS office. You will eventually need to by a license.

An alternative way is to delete the version on your laptop and to buy a Student and Teacher version. It is much cheaper.

Caution:

Office 2007 is so different from earlier versions, you will need to retrain on it. But once you get used to it, you will like some of the new features.

I have been using Office 2007 for 5 months and I still need to look up things I did on earlier versions.
