Our wings are not tired

It occurs to me that if you're baking a cassette, you can only rescue the stuff on one side. The other side will be ruined after the first pass.

This didn't happen to cassettes. This was with professional open reel tape that was made in the 70's.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The article Tommyrot originally linked to [link] refers to cassettes. And I've definitely had cassettes that made that mechanical squealy sound talked about in the article.

Your tag here.

Is there anything special to know about an array of objects?

ita, let me preface this by saying I'm weak on OOP in PHP, however this [link] may give a hint.

I suspect where you're getting messed up is the assigning the object by reference lines (note the &new):

$personObj[] = &new Person("andrew", "22", "male");

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

I'll fiddle around with the code and see if that works -- thanks, Eddie.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I don't know if this is a Mac thing or a Mac-Firefox thing, but for some reason, I can't tab-enter to post anymore. Hitting tab takes me to the Search box, and even if I keep hitting it, it never seems to land on the Post button. Is there a setting I can change to fix this, or am I stuck using the mouse to post?

One more -- I frelled something in my Firefox profile, but I can't figure out how to create a new one. This is what the Mozilla help site says:

On Linux or Mac, start Firefox with the the -profilemanager switch, e.g. ./firefox -profilemanager (this assumes that you're in the firefox directory).

Can someone translate that into English for me?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That should be done from a Terminal window.

Anyone know the default firefox directory is on a Mac?

et: Duh. I don't have Firefox on this particular computer.

So, open a terminal window and go to (probably) /Applications/firefox. Then run the command.

eta:

Go to the directory by typing

cd Applications/firefox

(assuming I'm correct about the directory).

Question for those of you whose laptop batteries have been recalled: Did you fill out the form to get a new battery? If so, did you receive any kind of confirmation from Apple?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I just tried that search tool and it took me to some porn sites (oh my god let me wash my eyes out with soap) when looking for "Law & Order: CI."
