Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

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

That reminded me of the only thing I wanted from Active Desktop--to be able to embed a web page with a form into my desktop so I could clear the desktop, google or wikipedia or IMDB some term, and then go back to what I'd been doing. Instead I settled for Opera's many tabs and neat "create search" functionality, which ain't so bad for second place.

Or is there a way to do what I was thinking of in XP?

Utilities Of Mass Addiction. So far I use VLC, Picasa, RealVNC, and PuTTY. I may have to give some others a look.

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

Okay, those guys have a hole in the protection thingy. I first read the list as cached by Google, but then decided to click on the link itself to see if I could avoid sending you to the cached page.

Suddenly I was approved for entry.

Is there any solution? Should I open the eps file in illustrator and change it to some other format? Is there a best format to use in the manner she does?

I don't know if you are still working on this, but at most universities media services has a web page with the logo in every possible format. So it might be easier just to replace it.

Academic poster printers are usually set up to format as a giant Powerpoint slide. Posters often reuse information already put together for a Powerpoint-based talk, so it's easy to paste the slides onto a mega-slide. Probably not optimal, but easy.

I keep my dock on the bottom (and my buttons tri-colored), but I keep auto-hide off, and don't use the animations.

Clearly, I am a creature of default.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am actually still working on it! I actually got this off the page, but they only offer the eps files (I think it may be because we just got a new logo and they haven't gotten around to putting up other types.) Perhaps I should call them, though-- they might have different formats and just not gotten aournd to putting them up!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Can I pick the brain of someone with good Unix shell knowledge?

What would be the command to list recursively all the files of a directory, along with the complete path? Like what you get with

ls -R
but with the path and filename, and (ideally) without the blank lines and lines that just name a directory?

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

find `pwd` -print

Will print out the file and directory names. Note the backquotes.

find `pwd` -type f -print

Will print out just the regular files.

find . -type f -print

Will print the pathnames relative to the current directory.
