I've built up a keen interest in law lately, and I was wondering if I could just go into a courtroom and watch a trial. I'm a university student (not studying law) and live in Vancouver (Canada) if that helps.

One can in the UK and I'm sure one would be able to in Canada too.

Well they aren't really unless they are artificially whitened but that doesn't really answer your question, sorry.

God does know and God does have God's own God.

Which episode is this from, anyway? What is he reacting to?

Perchance to Dream: The episode where he is trapped in an illusion by The Mad Hatter and he's beginning to realize the world isn't real. It's where his parents weren't dead. He's seeing that all the text on the page is nonsense.

edit: Corrected. Brain hiccup.

Oh yeah, that episode. Thanks.
 
I have a Sidewinder X3 and the middle mouse button has become really unresponsive.

You have to push really hard to get it to register. Any magic fixes or shall I buy a new one?
 
I'm in the beginning stages of building a website (aka--lots of edits/uploads to ftp).

I am wondering if there is any FTP program that can monitor my local directory with all my website files and automatically upload when it detects new files/changes to existing ones.

I'd rather not have a "check every xxx minutes/hours" script type solution because I wan't this to be instant, like how Dropbox functions. I am currently using FileZilla as my FTP program.

Thanks for the help!
 
I dunno if anyone could help me, but I'm trying to create a PHP script for my forum.

Currently I have:

(Forum Name) - (Insert Phrase here) when people are on my forum home page.

I want to be able to have the phrases rotate randomly.

For example, lets say on the main forum page of Neogaf it said this:


Neogaf - Believe.


Then Evilore added a few more [phrases]:

Neogaf - blame space was here

Neogaf - How much should I tip?

etc etc

It would randomly rotate between those three (or more) titles when the page is reloaded.

Code: 
<?php
function get_phrase {
    #Either set your phrases here or somewhere else
    phrases[0] = "What"
    phrases[1] = "Ever"

    $num_phrases = count(phrases);
    $phrase_num = rand(0, ($num_phrases-1));
    return $phrase[$phrase_num];
}

?>

in your html, wherever:
Forum Name - <?php get_phrase() ?>

You can use this in many ways. You could have a file called phrases.php, and then do
<?php
require_once('phrases.php');
?>

and then call get_phrase() in any file you've included it.
 
Can someone explain the origin of the "Hey Girl" pictures concerning Ryan Gosling? I don't get what is significant about "hey girl", is it from a movie?
 
I have available gift card balance on my amazon account. Is my gift card balance used if I buy something from another website that accepts amazon payments?
 
I'm buying a new MacMini later this week and I have a question about transferring content from my current MacMini (2007 Intel Core Duo) to the new one. Last time I did this I needed a Firewire cable and it was a huge pain in the ass, but that may have been due to my old Mac (At that time) being a PowerPC G3.

Anyways, onto the question: Do I still need a Firewire cable (I don't know what happened to the one I bought) or can I transfer my data through Ethernet or wireless communication?

I've searched on Google and Apple's site, but all the information I find is on transferring from PowerPC to Intel Mac's.

Have you asked in the Mac OT?

Worth a try if no-one answers in this thread.

Amazon's site makes it sound like gift card balances are treated as separate funds that can be used in conjunction with Payments but are not one and the same.

Didnt your license key come in an email/on the box/on the cd. I dont think you can access it from the program though.

I lost the cd with the key, so that's why I wondered if there was another method to retrieve it through the program.
 
Is there an easier way to save all of your Firefox bookmarks besides copying and pasting each one? A .zip file or something would be great.

Also, what's the easiest way to burn 200GB of music/programs/etc. to DVDs for storage?

There's a bookmarks manager ("Show all bookmarks" or something). You can export to HTML there.

Click to expand...
There's no easy way because 200 ÷ 4.7 &#8776; 43
Do you really want to burn 43 DVDs?
Either switch to Bluray (that would be either 200 ÷ 25 = 8 or 200 ÷ 50 = 4), or save to an external HDD. You're probably better off with an external HDD considering life expectancy (discs aren't really good because temperature changes make them bend and stuff, so they age passively; HDDs age when used (ignoring physical impact damage and radiation), so that's pretty good).
 
Is there a pinterest or an etsy for guys? I have a couple hundred to blow and want some art/clothes/socks and stuff for straight guys with exceptional taste. Help?

With Lion, you can trivially transfer files wirelessly. The computers just have to be near each other, basically. Both would have to have Lion installed. That's called AirDrop, and is pretty much sufficiently documented here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html#airdrop

And of course, if that's out of the question because you can't have Lion on both sides or whatever, then you could just put both computers into the same wireless or ethernet or mixed network, and enable file sharing on the sender's side. Once that's enabled, you can just drag-and-drop files into the sender's ~/Public/, and then get them out of there on the receiving side.

Once sharing's enabled and they're in the same network, you'll find the other computer's Public folder in your Finder, on the left.

Edit: As long as you enable file sharing and write permissions for anyone on the receiver's side, you can of course also drag files into its Public/ on the sender's side, which would eliminate one step.
 
I want to sleep on my back. but I just can't seem to do it. I've heard it's better for you, and plus it feels good laying that way.

BUT! After a while of laying on my back, my head starts bothering me. My jaw feels heavy and it eventually leads to this really weird... cold, uncomfortable feeling in my ears. So I have to turn my head, which then makes my neck uncomfortable. Then I eventually end up on my side/stomach again.

I have a 3inch memory foam mattress topper too.

TL;DR: I want to sleep on my back. What do?
 
When Buffy the Vampire Slayer first aired, how big was your chance to see "Once More With Feeling" without knowing what it's gonna be? Did they hype it up?

I'm currently watching the series for the first time and knew it was coming and I couldn't help but wonder how amazingly weird this would have been if I hadn't know about it beforehand.

There were previews for it. I remember watching a short clip of part of "I've Got A Feeling" before it aired. I don't remember if there were special TV spots for it or something, though. It wasn't a secret, in any case.
 
How come cats aren't that different to each other compared to how dogs are? A german shepherd looks completely different to a poodle, there are varying colors, shapes, sizes etc. but with cats they're all generally the same size and look the same with only different fur/colors. Why?

Dogs are bred for different uses, cats are bred to look pretty.
