Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Firefox has stopped letting me type into any boxes or the nav bar. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I can type in explorer and word, so it is not the keyboard. Any ideas?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

This is kinda a stupid question. I set up both the SO's & my email accounts, plus our shared company accounts on the Pro Tools machine, because we were having tech issues with our other gear. Now I want to separate those back out, stripping it back to just the shared accounts in Mail. But I see that there's a "delete account" command, which is only visible when I'm on a subfolder of my IMAP account. It gives me a dire warning. If I delete it, will it be deleting it on the server too? I don't want to do that, just remove it from Mail.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Update. Good news. Just the pathway and original email were enough. My parents are out of that contract with no penalty. And, for what it's worth, the woman who tampered with the email is probably losing her job.

oh, awesome. That the matter is closed.

The woman needs to lose her job.

Good, Cass.

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

Oh, that's great, Cass. Simple and JUSTICE. The Tick would be proud.

Yes.

And thank you all so much. Having this thread was invaluable because I could give her suggestions when she was freaking out. Okay, and I was stressed about it too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, this is a great thread.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What’s the best way to clean my unibody MacBook Pro for resale?

The outside, I mean. I know how to wipe the disk and all that.

Is anyone an Excel wizard?

I have a massive (1000+ lines) spreadsheet that I've been mapping onto a different one (same basic info, but some columns named differently and in a different order). I'm almost done except for three sections which are AWFUL.

The current spreadsheet has each possible value as its own column with a value of Y/N. (So, for example one is Age Range, the current column has Age Range K-3, Age Range 4-6, Age Range, 6-8, etc).

The new version has ONE column for Age Range, into which you are supposed to enter all values that apply. (In theory this is supposed to be a drop-down menu with multi-select but right now it's just a free text field).

There has to be a way to use the current dataset to generate a single set of values that I can paste into the new spreadsheet, because I am definitely not doing this manually for 1047 lines.

(And before anyone points out that this spreadsheet should really be a database, I KNOW, but unfortunately I am not in charge.)
