I've had quite a bit of experience with Dell, and I must say they were very, very good about tech support. First time, I was transferred to an Indian guy. \"Oh great,\" I thought, \"Here we go...\" But it was not to be. The Indian guy on the other end of the line was actually very well-informed ...

Wrong, ccb. That is the theory of microevolution. The theory of macroevolution is what creationists take umbrage with, and, as yet, I have STILL not seen anyone on this board present actual evidence for it, aside from saying \"you're an idiot\", which rather inclines me to the other side of belief ...

We've dealt with a 2-foot snow set, a 3-inch ice/snow/sleet/ice layer set (in that order), and two further 6-inch snows this winter.

It also takes three hours per run to shovel the driveway (side-entry, 2-car garage on a house set far back on the property)... Most annoying. :P

Pardon me, but yes, I have read the sticker. It encourages a student to look something up. The STUDENT can then determine what they believe to be correct, as opposed to being force-fed. In our age of \"tolerance\", isn't this the ideal? I am still by no means convinced of evolution, for one simple ...

In this application--you don't. You reset the user's password to a random string and e-mail it to them.

That's what most high-security sites do, at any rate; and more and more sites that I've seen are using that very technique.

Fruity Loops Studio can also perform a similar task, though its patches aren't as good--and it's a heck of a lot cheaper.
