A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I mean the other way, Jessica. For example, if I search for Viagra, I want to catch Viagra, ViagraAndCialis, CialisViagra, FreeViagra, etc.

Using an asterisk doesn't seem to work.

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

Oh, gotcha. I feel like there should be a way to do it, but I don't know the notation.

Ann, that's a ferret.

An exclamation mark? I don't know Google search, but in some databases, an exclamation mark means "anything that srarts with this."

Which admittedly doesn't catch everything you're looking for, but it may be a start.

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

Jon,

I found a getsatisfaction thread where people are pissed off they can't do this.

My only suggestion is that if you know which terms might crop up, you could construct the search like this:

Viagra | Viagraandcialis | CialisViaga

or further modify it to search in subject area?

BTW, the | can be replaced with OR - in case you didn't know it.

Yeah, I'd found something similar, but it was from a couple of years ago. I was hoping they'd since added some flexibility. No such luck, it seems.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Here is where I admit how little I know about hardware. I got my laptop back today -- the logic board and dc-in were not working and were replaced.

How would those affect my screen, such that it was cutting out and the color was all wonky? And how would those make my laptop run so hot it would shut off?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Did you have a fan fixed, too?

I don't think so. I'll have to check through the paperwork.

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

Javascript question (hide the children!):

If you want to force a value to be numeric, is there any difference between these two approaches?

aRT[j-1] += new Number(objJob.rows(0).cells(j).childNodes(0).value);

vs.

aRT[j - 1] += (objJob.rows(0).cells(j).childNodes(0).value - 0);

No, fan was not fixed (possibly it was never broken). Would an iBook run hot and then randomly shut down if the logic board was fried?
