Crossposted with Natter:

Leaping to the end here to ask a business tool question.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an inexpensive virtual meeting product?

I need to organize program development for a women's organization I just joined and would rather not spend money.

I'm prepared to do it the old fashioned way with email and a conference call but thought I'd ask the hivemind for a creative solution.

Thanks for thoughts!

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

I seem to have forgotten how to do regular expressions. Can someone tell me what the expression would be to find all lines in a text file (Windows file format) that don't end in one of the following characters:

}{;:

Even better if it could ignore lines that start with //

Gotta scan a big file o' Javascript looking for a missing ';' character....

edit to add another character....

Bonny, DimDim has a free version of gotomeeting you might try.

You used to be able to turn the shopping cart back on in iTunes. Now you have to use Wish List, which doesn't make sense to me. How do you buy multiple songs at one time?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I'm trying to do a Mac thing here, and wondering if there is a Win7 equivalent. When I step away from my computer, I put the mouse in the corner to put the screen to sleep. Keeps folks from looking at my work, and requires password to get out of it. Are there sleep corners for Win7? Doesn't look like it in the screen saver control panel.

ctrl-alt-del on all our work windows machines. Not a mouse thing, but it give choices to lock the computer, log out, etc. But a PC person would have to tell you if that's a default or has to be turned on, or what.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Windows+L is the standard keyboard command to lock the computer. But that won't put the machine to sleep.

Check the power management control for options?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I not seen the equivalent to what you're used to on the default screensaver, omnis.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I have my Toshiba set to sleep when I close it, waken when I open it, and it wakes up in locked mode, so a password is required.
