Dell's last solution worked for me too--UPS picked up their laptop yesterday, and I bought a Sony Vaio instead.

Just put apache on my xp home lap top.
When I opened up hosts to create some virtual directories - xp told me it was in use. I assumed user was apache, shut down apache - still in use. How do I track down what program/process has it open?

Found the problem. Handles found no conventional locks, but it turns out that zone alarm lock hosts even if it set not. You have to lock and unlock hosts in zone alarm to access it - and even then it only sticks for the windows session. On the whole it is a good thing - but I wish they would give a message.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Folks, I am desperately looking for a way to display the time when I am in a phone call on a Motorola Razr. it doesn't seem to be a standard feature for motorola phones. I can display the LENGTH of the phone call, but not what time it is. Is there a way to do it?

So what do you do when your iPod's battery doesn't last long enough for you to update it via USB with all the songs? It's possible the battery's toast--it's only 2679 or so songs. But there must be a way, no?

My iPod has gets its recharging via a USB-to-iPod connector cable... I thought that was how they all did. Sorry. There's a Genius Bar at Apple stores, though so maybe somebody there would have a better idea?

ita,
you need to get a firewire cord (the one that is a double firewire and usb cord) and connect it to the power supply while it syncs. that might be the cheapest option now to get another wire and cord.

Hmm. I usually use this on a Firewire machine, but I do seem to remember this was part of the reason why.
Okay, I'll hit up the Apple store today.
Thanks, guys.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I don't know if anyone is familiar with the course software Blackboard. There are instructions as to how to format a tab delimted file to upload test questions, which I followed to the letter here:
It does not work. When I go to upload them, I get an error (can't parse) on every line.
Tech support is telling me that the below:
Multiple Choice questions are structured as follows:
‘MC’ TAB question text (TAB answer text TAB ‘correct’ or ‘incorrect’)
Text within () may be repeated for each of the answers that are part of the Multiple Choice question. The maximum number of answers is 20.
means that I should use the single quotes and parentheses in my document but a) it isn't done that way in the sample document and b) it doesn't work.

Does anyone have any ideas? .

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Sophia, I should be able to help, but I can't get to it just now -- can you wait until, say 4-ish? And what Blackboard version are you on, what OS, etc?
