I overheard somebody say that Leopard is really just a different Linux version? I thought it was its own OS? Maybe the person said there is a Linux version that is like Leopard? does anybody know?

i'm having a problem finding a formula that will work for my situation. i work in construction, and we have these ordering forms we fill out for our big jobs.

everything has an item name, item number and measurement. there are 12 item names, each with around 10 item numbers and 8 item measurements. i want to be able to fill in a name, number and measurment in each cell and have it sum to a set price.

for example:

S125 + 162 + 25GA = $100
S125 + 250 + 25GA = $200
S162 + 800 + 18GA = $600

is there any way to do this?? i don't mind at all entering in all of the different combinations and prices on a seperate spreadsheet for it to link to... i just want my guys to be able to enter the measurements into the form and have the price fill in without them having to look it up.

helppp!!!

side of the laptop? Many people connect a mouse to their laptop (myself for one) and I have to plug it into the left side so the cord needs to hang across the back, front or top. Wouldn't it of seemed more clever to just put it on the right side for the majority of the population?
No offense to you left handed people.

Despite trying everything I can not get any other computer to link to this PC over a LAN. Whatever I do the network cable unplugged icon will not go away! My suspicion is that the AOL softrware has completely taken over all networking for itself to connect to the internet and will not allow any other network.

I have this computer game and it worked fine when I got it and then I didnt play for awhile and when i came back to it it doesnt work. So I will be playing it normally and then the controls dont work quickly and the screen goes really slow so I have know clue what I am doing. Then after a bit of doing it it will go back to normal. I asked my friend who has the game game if it did it too and it didnt. It isnt in a particular spot. I see some scratches but nothing major. Why is it doing this?

I would be grateful for any expertise in this area. I have an oldish computer which doesn't seem to have a wireless enabled feature-I have checked devices- it is connected to my broadband ntl by a cable to a modem. I now have been given a work lap top- wireless enabled( so can access when all the kids are on big computer)and my hubby has bought an xbox 360 which he'd like to go online with. it is miles from the broadband point of entry. Can I buy a router that serves all my needs?If not can some kind person suggest what this trying but failing mum can do to get a grip of this technology? i would be pathetically grateful for any help.

Hello,
I am struggling with a regular expression.
I want to extract strings which have 1 or 2 digits from a list of strings.
example:
m=lr10.moscou
m=lr101.moscou
m=lr20.moscou.
I only want to dispay lr10 and lr20
I tried this regular expression
m=lr(\d\d)
but it doesnt work for me
It will be very cool if someone could advise me.
thanks

I opened a ms publisher file that was attached to my yahoo mail. I made some changes to the file, pressing the "Save" button as I went along. I closed the file, only to realize that I did not know where the file saved to. Can anybody help me? Where did it go? Does Yahoo have it? It was a huge project for my job, which was due today.

Urgent! Please help! This project is due soon and I can't continue until I know this! I'm trying to use an abstract class (SongComparator) like so:

SongComparator comparator = new SongComparator();
playlist_1. sort(comparator);

But the first line comes up with this error message: SongComparator is abstract; cannot be instantiated. But if I don't use the first line of code, the variable comparator is never defined. Please help. How do I use these?

I wanna add a low profile video card that can fit into the PCI express slot.
low profile means shorter (85mm) bracket and lower voltage.
160 Volt (s3100n's power supply) is ok for all the low profile video cards to work?
