Major crashes with OS X 10.4 (on a G5 iMac). Bad hardware? It looks like I'll have to take it in for repairs, but maybe there's a software fix?

Technically it's piracy, but it doesn't feel that way...

What's a good name for the kind of "piracy" that doesn't feel like piracy to a reasonable person?

CMS recommendations for a relatively simple site.

CMSFilter -- recommendations and de-recommandations. Say I can get Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress installed with equal ease. Which do I want for a relatively simple site?

I want to earn extra money as a writer, "remotely".

I want to earn extra money as a writer. I'm not bothered what I write, if it's a paying gig. But I'm "remote" in the sense that I live in Australia. There must be someone, somewhere in the world, who will pay me to write and submit stuff online?

Brain-teasers wanted

Has anyone got any good verbal brain-teasers please? Examples of what I mean by a "verbal brain-teaser":
  • A man needs to wake up at 9 AM. He winds his clock, sets it, and goes to sleep at 7.45PM -- how many hours does he sleep?
  • You throw away the outside, cook the inside, and then eat the outside and throw away the inside -- what is it?
  • A man comes into town on Friday, stays overnight and leaves on Thursday -- how?
Answers inside
