Perhaps you can lick it.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Don't lick the USB end. Also, brush your teeth first.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You sound as if you're talking from experience.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I'm thinking that, somewhere in there, is a joke involving that USB vibrator but I'm going to avoid finding it.

ita, do it! Rob got me the hookup, and I have a 12" Powerbook, which is fabulous. Personally, I was afraid it would be too small, but I don't do any video editing or anything, so it works fine for me--I'm more likely to be carrying it through the airport, and glad it weighs and takes up as little space as it does.

Apple has already lowered the prices of various build-to-order options for the Mini-Mac. [link] (site is semi-slashdotted at the moment)
Maybe they're responding to criticisms that the various options were overpriced.

iPod question:
Is there a way to make the iPod play gaplessly? The one I borrowed had an album where the tracks run together seamlessly on the CD, but on the iPod there was a fraction of a second of silence when it changed tracks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, the recent talk in Natter reminded me that I'm really not taking advantage of the technology available to me, so I thought I'd try this torrenting business. Is 10 hours of download time normal for a 1-hour show?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yes, especially depending on how many people are seeding it.
Edit: Okay, I don't mean normal. I just mean that speeds can vary widely.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It depends upon your connection, your settings, and the number of other people who are torrenting the same file (the more, the better). On the night a show like Lost is released, it usually takes me a couple of hours to download on my cable connection.
