Finder Not Found...Mac!

E-mail
So, Mac's file browser, Finder, has decided to once again crap out on me. I opened the lid to my Macbook, and while I could see all of the icons on my desktop, I couldn't actually click on any of them.

Why testers?

E-mail

My sister got her kids a little puppy, and they’ve been trying to train it. To live with a dog in the house, you need to teach it not to jump on people, not to poop in the house, to sit on command, and to never, ever, ever chew on the iPad. Never. Good girl.

SOAP, PHP, and ASMX - 'Yes we can!'

In fact, I was so confident in this that I was probably more than a little smug on the phone with the tech guy setting up the web service for us (yes, that's right - I'm important enough that people set up web services specifically for me). It turns out that getting PHP to connect to an ASMX resource isn't as well documented as you would expect. In fact, it seems that web services in general aren't as well documented as one might expect - at least when using PHP (I blame this on the PHP documentation).

Small Investors Versus Big Traders - ShareCrazy.com - Mon 01 Feb, 08:00 AM
The big professional traders rule the markets. If they decide its a selling time, thats what they do and we, as private punters, cant do a thing about it. If most of them buy, rather than sell, theres the opposite and happier- effect.
