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

And why the religious obsession?

To make me laugh, I think.

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

So I guess this is a cutting-edge home robot.

PR2 is the personal robot buddy you can buy today

We've been following the development of Willow Garage's PR2 robot for over a year, and now you can finally plunk down your $400,000 to get a beer serving, pool playing, and outlet finding PR2 of your own.

In addition to doing household chores like Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons, the makers say that PR2 makes an excellent base on which you can develop all sorts of robotic research tools. While the cutesy tasks are fun, they really expect PR2 to be used by educational institutions and industry as a robotics development platform.

PR2 comes pretty well equipped right out of the box, with dual gripper arms, a full-motion mobility base, and a complete suite of audio, video, and tactile sensors. Computing power is provided by pair of 8-core servers with 24GB of RAM and a 2TB hard disc. PR2 is also equipped with multiple WiFi systems and a onboard Gigabit Ethernet network.

This is driving me crazy, hopefully someone knows the answer to this.

New work computer has Excel:Mac 2008 v 12.2.6 on it. The formula bar has somehow become a floating bar. How do I get it back into the toolbar at the top of each document?

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

let me open up excel and see.

Go to View ---> Customize Toolbars, then select "dock"

The formula bar has somehow become a floating bar. How do I get it back into the toolbar at the top of each document?

It's been long enough that I can no longer give you the exact menu locations and which tabs to click on, like I was once able to do, but...

What you need to do is make sure the tool bars are unlocked (if the button rows up top have little ridges along the left side, and you can slide them around, they are unlocked).

Once you have the tool bars unlocked, you can make any toolbar a floating toolbar by dragging it away from the top of the window, or you can put a floating toolbar on the top of the window by dragging it there. Once you've done that, arrange the buttons and toolbars how you want, and then RELOCK THE TOOL BAR!

Otherwise you will continue to accidentally drag toolbars into floating toolpads, and forget how to put them back.

Yup, went there, and the only things that have the check box for "dock" are Standard & Formatting. Nothing for formula bar in that window at all.

The little floating window can be opened from the view menu. And close it. But it still stays semi-translucent and floating.

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

weird.

I guess what I did was dock it at the top of the screen and it has stayed there ever since. I don't know about the translucent issue.

how irritating.

Yes! And with two screens, the spreadsheet is on one, and the formula bar is on the other.

Thanks for trying. Glad to know I'm not missing something simple.

I had something similar happen recently and I restarted the computer and it went away.
