Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That\'s what I was afraid of. It\'s a pain because there\'s a lot of back and forth, using php echo commands within the html. Eh, I\'ll just delete the code. I have a test version that still contains it.

Your tag here.

Well, if you're just trying to not display the html generated by the php code (and the normal html), then using html-style comment tags will work:

< h t m l > < b o d y >

< ! - -

< ? = "hi"; ? >

< p >foo< / p >

< ? = "there" ? >

< p > asdf < / p >

- - >

< / b o d y > < / h t m l >

[spaces added to code to get it to play nice with b.org]

But if you're trying to comment out the php to prevent it from executing... yeah, offhand I'd say you'd have to comment separately.

Thanks, Eddie. That's better than nothing.

Got it!

To begin the "block comment" use:

< ? i f ( FALSE ) { ? >

then to end the "block comment" use:

< ? } ? >

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Um, is someone around to help me out? To save my brand-new monitor from being hurled through a wall?

They pay me in WOIMS

Open the window first.

It's too cold. I'm just going to throw it through the interior wall. Maybe my neighbor can use it.

What's the problem?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I bought a nice big new monitor. It told me it would work best if I reset the display to 1680x1050 at 60 Hz refresh rate. With some scuffling I figured out how to do this.

Now all the fonts are too small, and webpages that used to take up the whole screen are centered cozily in the middle, and I can't read anything without squinting.

I swear, I don't have the energy to figure out anything else. I'm ready to scream. What do I do?
