I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Tidy cleans up the code. But it leaves the font and classes and such. How to do I get it to generate simple html, no css, given source with CSS?

Ah and Kevin's link helps. It still produces a few simple classes; but they are simple enough to eliminate with search and replace. (The template can't handle classes at all, unless I want to inherit from the template CSS, and it is pretty restrictive even on that.)

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Does anyone have anything bad to say about Sony digital cameras? I'm looking to invest in one (finally), and a friend's father gets the dealer's discount. I haven't shopped around a whole lot, but the discount is very appealing at this juncture.

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

Google Desktop for Mac beta now available: [link]

Unlike its Windows counterpart, GDesktop for Mac does NOT include gadgets or a toolbar - simply search. Once installed, hitting the Cmd key twice summons the GD as-you-type search box (like Ctrl, Ctrl on Windows) and all the normal Google Desktop advanced search operator trickery works, too. Plus GDesktop can include Gmail messages in your search results, which obviously Spotlight cannot. (In System Preferences, go to Google Desktop to configure your Gmail account.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

But why wouldn't you just use quicksilver? I mean, the only difference is not being able to search your google account, but if you download your mail to a client and your files are originals on your hard drive, there's not much reason to switch.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Question: What's more fun than re-installing an operating system?

Answer: Not much!...Oh wait, no. Going home. Going home is a lot more fun than re-installing an OS.

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

I'm having a weird problem with one of my Macs at work -- the DVD Player software is refusing to recognize or play DVDs. No matter what we put in the drive (DVD data discs, playable DVDs created on this same Mac, playable DVDs created elsewhere), it loads in the finder as "Untitled CD" and refuses to acknowledge the presence of any media.

We've run all the updates we can find, and are currently running DVD Player 4.6.5, which as far as I can tell is the newest version available.

Anyone have a clue what might be causing this or how to fix it? Since we can still create DVDs on this Mac (that will play everywhere else), I'm pretty confident that it's a software issue and not the drive itself.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Jess, that's a common problem -- I saw it mentioned the other day. [link]

The Mac I got from eBay on Sunday still hasn't shown up. I'm nervous.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I have a MSWord puzzler. Why would a document refuse to print? I have a letter that I've printed many times before. One day, I selected the print command, pressed OK and...nothing. I can print other things, just this document, when commanded to print, will not print. I saved it to the document storage system...nothing. Tried other printers...nothing. It just doesn't tell the printer to print, the printer icon doesn't come up or anything. I've tried looking at all the various settings to see if there's something I accidentally checked that says "don't print"-- haven't found it. I've been able to c/p the doc and print that, but has anyone else seen this problem?
