Yeah, it's a hymn. If you are familiar with something called Shape Note Singing, you may have heard of it there. The last printed copy of it I've seen, with words and music, was in a shapenote hymnal, a very old one. It's found on a lot of older recordings by Country Gospel singers and was...

Gandi.net I've used them for about a year, on the advice of a friend who runs webhosting services (who also uses them). No problems, good prices. Lady Niniane

<< Someone told me it was possible but only as a non-matriculating student. >> That's usually the case. Most 4-year(+) schools require you to take your last one or two semesters' worth of classes on their campus. So you should be able to transfer mid-year while a freshman or sophomore, or...

I am amazed that this thread has gotten this far without anyone mentioning Isaac Asimov and &quot;The Bicentennial Man&quot; (either the original short story or the expanded novel on which the movie was based). If you haven't read it, do so - either version. Then come back and give your answer...

Have to agree with everyone else here - take it to whatever resources are available for consumer complaints. Ryder hit my &quot;do-not-use&quot; list last month when they pulled the exact same trick on my 70-year-old mother, of all people! She had reserved a 24-ft truck 6 weeks in advance, but...

ThisIsMatt probably has the right of it, especially if it just started happening. Some network admin probably got told to lock it down, and has just finally gotten around to doing it. Lady Niniane

Need more info on the laptop in question. If it's an older one, you're not likely to be happy with anything past Win95, particularly if you use it for games that use DirectX. (Video driver problems, and lack of dedicated RAM for the video cause all kinds of mouse/keyboard lockups.) I've run...

Minimum content is the way to go on a resignation letter - kranky's letter is the best example. A resignation letter is a legal notice - anything you say in there can (and might) be used against you in a court of law. In particular, do not give a &quot;reason for leaving&quot; in a resignation...

<< Probably not long before free hours go down to 0. Wonder how many hours Juno has free? >> Try &quot;none&quot;, as of October. Netzero and Juno announced a merger/takeover last month (merger story, more merger info), and <surprise, surprise>, the merger is supposed to be finalized in...

If your CPU box lights are coming on but the monitor is staying dark, you may have a problem with either the monitor not recovering successfully from a suspend state or the video card not telling the monitor to &quot;wake up&quot;. We've had problems with that on several monitors - in most...

Or, if SWA is available from your home airport, just go to Southwest Airlines and look for their Internet-only fares. They have fares there that do not show up under other travel/airline sites (they don't completely participate in the cross-ticketing schemes). I've had better luck with Expedia...

I've also heard and read of the problems with Marshall farms; at one point, there was talk on one of the listservs about a boycott, but I don't know if anything has come of that. (I do not own any ferrets, but have several friends that have them; we have &quot;pet-sit&quot; for them more than...

Hmm, lets see... Brown frozen hash-brown potatoes (the kind made from shredded potatoes, not the chopped kind) in a large iron skillet; when cooked, remove and set aside. Stir-fry frozen veggies (any kind; I use a stir-fry mixture or something called &quot;dinner vegetables&quot; that has...
