Especially not taking cash is shady. OK I know a lot of doctors don't take cash. But for a retailer to refuse cash?It wasn't a retailer, it was folks standing outside of the supermarket soliciting for UN refugee relief.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Yeha, that is retail charity at best. Or sub-retail. I would never give a credit card to some guy hanging out in front of a store or on a sidewalk.

Jessica is right to be cautious of very large files, but otherwise, Macs can read PC external drives. They are typically read-only so you probably can't write on it (or so I have found).

All is well that ends in pizza.

Looks like it might be a limitation of FAT on the PC, rather than NTFS. FAT32 took care of this on the PC side, but Windows 7 and above prefer NTFS.
It looks like a case by case issue, as sme peole have no problem with OSX Mavericks, others still do.
There are, however ways around it.
If you don't have files over 4 GB, it's moot, of course.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Can you just do a search-and-replace on the entities, (i.e. s/¢/¢/g) instead of adding the ENTITY declaration?

Or if you add your ENTITY declaration, then round-trip the document through an XML processor, do the entities get replaced automatically?

That's a good idea. But I just talked to my boss and he wants to go in a different direction. (Only a few files have that entity problem so we're gonna just have an exception for that issue.)
