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

I just got asked to update Java today. I'm not sure why I'd be getting them much more than you. But it's always updating something, it feels like.

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

Which model Droid, Strix? The original?

The Galaxy 2s (I think; I'm a little hepped up on goofballs.)

Not the newest version; the one before that.

I don't need anything fancy; just practical.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm a little hepped up on goofballs.

Me too!

Also, I get updates for Java on my Mac a lot. (Just to provide a hopped-up-on-goofballs anecdata point.)

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 think we need more anecdata like this.

OK, I have an HTML question:

I'm playing around with the jquery jsTree control. What I want to do is have the jsTree control expand as the user clicks on nodes to expand them, and if it expands to be bigger than its allocated size I want it to overlay whatever is below it.

This is part of my test page:

<table>
<tr>
    <td>
        <div id="treeViewDiv" style="height: 100px; overflow:visible; z-index: 2">
        </div>
        
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>    
    <td>
This is some plain text (no tags) in a new row after the "treeViewDiv".	
    </td>
</tr>
</table>	

(eta: The jsTree control is placed in the div by javascript.)

When I run this, the jsTree control does not force the next row of the table down (which is correct) but it does not overlay the row beneath it. What am I missing?

I tried adding a z-index setting to the style, but it didn't help.

eta²:

Fuck. This works correctly in Chrome but not IE 8.

eta: GOT IT WORKING! It's a bug in IE. The workaround is to add 'position:relative' to the style.

Is there any reason I shouldn't jump on this Groupon?

I know Westinghouse isn't a great brand, but for that price it seems like I could replace it in a year and not feel too bad...

Can you go look at the picture quality of that TV in a store? That's a great price. (I just paid $550-ish for a 42" LG 1080p 120 HZ TV.)

Hm, maybe. Depends on how fast they sell out.

Also, I don't have an extra $349 right now. If I did I'd use it to replace the Tivo that's still giving me the grey screen of death once a week.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Westinghouse isn't a great brand and Amazon has it for $399, so you're not really saving much.
