could you lend me a hand?
Switch to perl, tommyrot.
Gimme some milk.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Heh. I wish.
You are more right than you know. I'm supposed to use regular expressions with VBScript. Which sorta' makes my head want to explode. Then I found some examples, which makes my head want to explode even more:
InitialString = "www.foo.co.uk"
Set RegularExpressionObject = New RegExp
With RegularExpressionObject
.Pattern = ".co.uk"
.IgnoreCase = True
.Global = True
End With
ReplacedString = RegularExpressionObject.Replace(InitialString, ".com")
Not exactly like regular expressions in Unix/perl, huh?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not exactly like regular expressions, period. Ech.

Actually, after using them it's not so bad. Despite the weird object syntax, the pattern you specify is the same, which is sorta the heart of regular expressions.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, be careful, though, tommy. If I recall correctly there were definitely some quote regular expression endquote artifacts in VB that act funky. No memory what specifically, though, so I'm no actual help.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
If I suspect that accidentally clicking on a site may have dumped a largish file on my computer (I have a MacBook), how would I find that file. I went to the wrong kind of anime site and it tried to get me to install some sort of media player. It would not let me close out of Safari w/o a Force Quit.
It appears that my available memory has now dropped by .4GB. I can't swear to that, but I recall having 2.0 G left, and now I have 1.6.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've been trying to update iTunes for like 45 minutes. That's not normal, right? I downloaded, restarted and now I'm supposed to "wait while Windows configures iTunes," but that's been on for like ten minutes. What to do?
Edit: OK, it finally finished. I guess part of the problem was Norton trying to stop iTunes from doing something online.

That South Korean scientist who claimed to have created clones of humans, but turned out to be a fraud? May have achieved human parthenogenesis -- by mistake.

Yeah, I saw that story! Is that irony or WHAT?
