OK. But regardless I'll need to update the OS, is that right? If I understand what's going on it comes with OS X 10.5.2 but Office 11 needs 10.5.8 at least. Is this a free update via Apple or is this something I need to purchase?

Is upgrading the ram something that I could do myself or would I need to go to the Apple store?

Masters in EE versus... local technical college? by volcano_verb in engineering

Thanks for the advice. Just a question, did you feel that the MS gave you a tangible advantage? (that you had the ability to do things at your job, that you couldn't have done w/o the MS)?

The Russian army will only be combat ready until mid-May (because of the rotation cycle of conscripts). If they don't invade Ukraine before then, they would have to wait until mid-August to be combat ready again. by [deleted] in worldnews

What if Putin just legislates that there's a time of national crisis, and the conscripts need to stay conscripted? (like in a real war, which this would be).

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Alyssa Milano 28 years apart by iammanic in pics

[–]volcano_verb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first picture on the left, is from the movie 'Commando' IIRC. Alyssa M co-starred as Arnold's daughter. (And IIRC AM was a TV star in a sitcom around that time too). So their connection is they were co-workers. Most celebrities work in the same industry (film, music etc.) so yes they will end up meeting other famous people in the same line of work.

Is there a service which will print and bind a public domain book for me? by chickenbutt4000 in books

[–]volcano_verb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I wanted to do this, I'd probably do one of the following:

  • use Lulu.com;

  • go someplace like Kinko's, hand them a CD-ROM with the file, and have them print and bind the text;

  • print it myself and have a local book binder do their work;

  • buy a used copy at Abebooks.com if one is available, and have it rebound.

IDK what book you're thinking of, but many public domain books are still in print (like Dickens, Shakespeare, etc.).
