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

If your XSL processor includes EXSLT, then you can do date calculations. If not, then no.

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

Thanks Tom. I don't think our client uses that. SQL it is!

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

Yeah, apparently Mobile Safari doesn't do the media type selector. Which I found a reference to in a tab on a different computer. Bah.

Damn. I would have figured out how to code it, just to streamline B.org on my phone.

Are you kidding? I already started, even though I didn't even have the phone until 5:32 pm ET.

All is well that ends in pizza.

It's been a while since I dealt with this, so I'm asking ya'll.

I have a PC here that a friend wanted me to get some files off of, and make it basically a word-processing machine and occasional dial-up internet box. The CD drie had mysteriously stopped working too, and could I take a look at that, too?

It's a windows 98 machine, with about 10 years on it and a bad CD drive. I ended up taking off the files with a few floppies.

After that I was trying to get a different CD-rom drive working in it and noticed the computer was struggling. It froze and I shut it down and got the old "insert boot device' type message.

Took a Win98 CD to it and found that something malicious must have been at work from before I started working on it, as almost everything on the HDD was erased.

Sigh. Installing an Antivirus was my next step, after getting the CD working.

The question:

I vaguely remember a way to restore the file tree on windows 98, but can't recall the best way to do this.

Any suggestions?

Questions for anyone that has upgraded to iTunes Plus:

Does the replacement affect playlists? Does it affect any info you've entered or changed (genre, etc.)?

I would like the default setting on my Google Calendar to be "no reminder" on new events. Anyone know where I can click to make this happen?
