'War Stories'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
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?
Did you have a fan fixed, too?

I don't think so. I'll have to check through the paperwork.
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);
Did you have a fan fixed, too?
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.
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?
ita, I like the Panasonic ones I've been using. I have three handsets on the same unit and apparently it can expand (but I think I'd have to buy another 3 handset kit). I believe you can store phone numbers in the phone.
Got these at Amazon.
