  Are there any virtual printer drivers for Mac that allow you to print something to a high quality JPEG (150-300dpi) in the same way you can print a PDF?

  Umm I assume you are not on a mac as you can generally print to a printer and then choose pdf as an option which would save it to another pdf file. However, given the permissions settings you say it has, it may not allow that as well. Your only real options are to get the password from the author or… it is possible to crack passwords of such documents as the encryption is generally not that secure for document passwords. I leave it as an exercise for you to find out how to crack it.

  MacBook Pro owners! (especially older MBPs) Do you have battery issues?

  It could be the electric power where you normally plug in to recharge. If you are plugging it directly into the wall there may be power fluctuations that cause stress to the battery despite the power supply supposedly regulating that. I always plug into a power strip that filters the power. It could be your power adapter itself. Do you use only the Apple issued power adapter or do you have a third party adapter as well? If you are using a third-party adapter it may not be properly charging the battery. And lastly there could be a problem with the Macbook itself. And by that I mean the design not just your Macbook as it seems to be a problem with other folks as well.

  Why are content management frameworks like Drupal so much more popular than MVC framework like CakePHP, but so much less fun to develop with?

  The two are not comparable. Drupal is an completed application with a modular API to allow additions/plugins. Unless what you want to do is very closely aligned to Drupal (and modules) modifying it to get what you want is going to be very time consuming. As you said, you would have to deconstruct/reconstruct to make it do what you want. There are tons of other CMS out there that may better match your needs than Drupal. CakePHP on the otherhand is a development framework. All it does is abstract some of the comlications of building a dynamic web app. So yes, it is a whole lot easier to build something custom nearly from scratch using cake. It will also have its short comings though. When you need something done that the framework does not do yet then you will either have to write it or do with out. This is a common complaint against other frameworks like Ruby on Rails, which is not really a fault of the framework. There are some things that get too specific to be worthy of adding to the framework. If you use a development framework without really knowing the code behind it and/or how to extend it you may find yourself stuck. Building from a developement framework only gets you a headstart as there can be major effort needed to capture all the functionality you may need and deal with all the conditions. This is why most organizations find a completed application that most closely matches their needs. Checkout Open Source CMS for more CMS that you can see if there is one that will do what you need more simply than Drupal. Also reddit has made their code available and you can also create new sub-reddits under the main reddit without having to set up your own host to experiment with a kind of social networking site.

  Why does a guy keep calling when I don't call back?

  Not calling when you are going to be late by more than 15 mins without notice or plain not showing up at all withou calling especially in the age of cell phones is a clear indication that they don’t care. So it’s not about you being mad, it’s about respect. I would not think much of a friend who did that let alone someone who I dated… Even if it was casual. Change your answer message to say “Hi you’ve reached carebare, leave a message at the beep… If this is bob I’m not mad, I just don’t have any feelings for you”... Or something like that. Otherwise I would ignore it and if you happen to run in to them just say the samething. You lost interest when they showed no respect.
