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

Excellent!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Terminology question:

I'm building an Access database. I have this table that is a big list of skills. I want the contents of that table to show up as yes/no cells on 2 other tables (whether a given group has that skill and whether a job required it). I can't figure out even what to call this, so I can figure out how to do it. Any ideas?

All is well that ends in pizza.

FYI for iPod owners:

A reader found the 850mAh 3rd-generation iPod replacement battery for $17.99 plus $5.99 shipping at BSRTech.com. That's the lowest total price we know to be available for an 850mAh replacement battery. Update: A reader spotted the same battery for $4.95 plus $5.99 shipping at SuntekExpress.com. Update: SuntekExpress.com has since raised its price to $14.95. >[link]

Yeah, but then wouldn't you have to install the battery on your own, Daniel? I'd be scared.

Debet, I'm sure there IS a way, but it's been awhile since I had to do something like that...I could roughly achieve the same thing in Excel (probably using my latest favorite function, "countif").

Comcast is connecting only intermittently for me today. Anybody know if it is the remains of the problem from a few days ago, or a new one?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Typo: Yes. By which I mean, they probably say that it's a new problem, but I work for a broadband ISP, and, well . . . . Basically, the routing servers have gone on strike. You're only able to get to scab sites.

Like this one.

It looks like the problem has resurfaced. I just changed over my DNS servers again, and it's much better.

What did you put in for the DNS servers?

I used 204.127.202.19 and 216.148.227.204, which I spotted on a post on the Comcast boards. I think they belong to ATT.

hey- I've been getting splitting headaches which intensify when I'm using my work computer, which is a Mac. I'm running version 10.2.8, and it looks like the refresh rate is, uh, hidden. Well, it's somewhere where I can't find it. It's not in my "Displays" section of System Preferences, which is where the resolution rate and the brightness level control live.

Do any Mac gurus know where I can check on my refresh rate for my monitor?
