The one thing that annoys me about mu current cheapy APC backup is that when there is a power problem it beeps until the power is normal. Hey UPC I noticed the lights are flickering. If power stays bad very long I will shut down. Don't need your nagging. Do more modern ones not do this?
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, I just hibernated for the first time, and that answered that question. It made me put in my BIOS password on starting back up. But sleep seemed to use more batteries than XP's standby. I wonder if I can sleep for a weekend like before.
I want to love my Win 7 upgrade, but my key goal is never turning the computer off. I want to avoid that extra password level, plus the time involved.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ours beep loudly when the power goes off, but just for a second or two.
But you know, it's possible to have a brown-out, where your lights still work but there's not enough power to run your computer so it crashes.

In my old office, the lights were on a different circuit than my computer. So someone could trip the breaker on the circuit that powered my computer without the lights going out.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Word question (I have 2010):
I need to add a sample passage -- think standardized test reading comprehension passage. It's supposed to look like it will on the real exam.
It's in two columns of text, and in the left margin to the side of each column are line numbers for each line, so people can use line numbers to answer certain questions.
The link to the sample test format I'm looking at is here, [link]
Except I think that might just take you to the whole guide. It's Reading Comprehension under Sample Test Items in the sidebar.
I cannot figure out how to format it.

Is there some reason not to put it in a table?

I haven't tried that one yet. I've been futzing about with columns, which is annoying.
I'll see if tables work.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Tables are way easier, except maybe dealing with where the text breaks.

You can do it a few ways
You can add a table with two colums
You can but in two section breaks and use the column button between the section breaks
You can put in a text box with columns

Has anyone done their own iPod battery replacement? It seems much cheaper to get a kit online than go to the Apple store.
