Re: How to save our cat's life?
I won't deny you have a point, but that's a pretty cold way to make it, I think. I wish I could help. I can't stop thinking how scared the cat must be... Sometimes cold is the best way to be about these situations, hurts less on both sides. You shouldn't let an animal suffer, but you shouldn't go b...

Re: How to save our cat's life?
Does the cat go outside, is it getting into something? If you can't afford it, don't let the animal suffer, put it down. No matter how attached I am to my cat, if it was going to make me go broke to keep her alive, then she'd be getting put down. You can always get another cat (not exactly a shortag...

I think he is thinking that 1 dollar = 1 ruble, when in fact, 1 dollar = 31.92 rubles, so, $1,000,000 will equal 31,924,700 rubles.

It might be better to follow the packet tracer example. Make a program where its a virtual lab. You run the program, and in it you have a "virtual server" to host your "virtual pages" on and run scripts etc. You could load the program onto a disc and package it with the book.

Re: New Startrek movie trailer
The one thing I didn't like about the 2009 movie, was that you had to read the comicbook prequels to understand why Nero was the way he was and how his ship got equipped with borg-enhanced weaponry. From what I understand, they're doing the same thing with this new movie too.
