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.
I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

Ann, that's a ferret.

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?

I'd probably use the JavaScript parseInt() or parseFloat() functions. One thing to watch out for, though, is that they return NaN if the parse fails, not 0.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone have a cordless phone system they're happy with?
I have had it up to here with the crap battery life of my Vtech. I'm looking for one that you can expand with handsets you just plug into power, not into additional phone lines. And that you can store phone numbers in. I don't want voicemail.
Anyone have any recommendations?
