[OT] Google Math Fun

When working in LiveCode, I often use the message box to do quick operations and avoid switching out to another application, say a math problem for example. Tonight I needed to do some quick operations while searching the Web and I had just a feeling in my gut that Google had taken care of this.

Hi Pierre, Were you able to get phpPgAdmin to work correctly with the new version of PostgreSQL? It keeps throwing permission errors at me when it tries to execute it's SQL code for queries etc. So now we have to use "WHERE CAST" instead of "WHERE"? Who thought that would be better? Of course n

Hi Peter, If I were you I'd also run a disk diagnostic program like "DiskWarrior" just to see everything on your hard drive is correct. Do a full backup of your computer hard drive with Time Machine or else do a full image backup. Then, realize that OS X.7.4 is not current and upgrade to OS X.7.5

Hi Richmond, Yes, it looks like they operate from India, but the owner of the company might be in Great Britain or somewhere else. They work with interns it seems, whom they may not have to pay. They don't pay reviewers/editors and I think they pay authors per book sold. So, that's pretty much
