Not exactly like regular expressions in Unix/perl, huh?
Not exactly like regular expressions, period. Ech.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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

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

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.

Some biological technology...
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?

Crap. I think I may have gotten a virus on my computer. I think by having an Apple, I'd been lulled into a false sense of security. Any ideas on what to do at this point?

What are the symptoms?
Actual Mac OSX virus infections are still quite rare.

I'm sure there are others.

I was getting a virus warning from my ISP. Turns out, though, that my ISP and Apple are having issues, as I discovered from talking to Apple tech support. Feh.
Still, I'll check out those virus scanners. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for the links, Daniel.
