Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ok, who wants to help me with Tasker? I've turned on just about every "silent" setting I can in my "work" profile, but the phone is still making the annoying "bloop" sound every time the screen turns on or off.

Compassionately intolerant

I need a reality check.

I have two Mac G5 towers, dual cores, etc. that are Powerpc and not Intel chipped.

Does it make sense for me to try and sell them via Craigslist,(cash would be super helpful right now) or should I take the opportunity to drop them off at an e-cylcing event a friend can drive me to this Saturday.

They've been sitting in my living room for months, along with a huge Dell monitor that began acting wonky last October.

Does tech stuff like this even sell?

Dunno. Maybe someone could turn then into small office print and file servers?

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'm using a G5 right now!

Before I lost my job, I was considering helping my cousin Steve buy one for $75 on Craigslist to upgrade from his old G4.

I've seen them prices higher and lower.

Check out everymac.com for current market value, then undercut that price on Craigslist. See if you get any bites.

You might have to give the monitor to a recycling house.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

be sure to thoroughly clean off any data that might on there. My mother bought a used laptop once and we found addresses and meeting notes on there.

Unless you have incredibly sensitive data, reinstalling OSX and telling it to repartition and reformat should be enough.
