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!
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.
The simple answer is 'no'. Every other portable mp3 player I've used has that problem too - I'd think it'd be an easy thing to fix.
The more complex answer it that you can experiment with iTunes' crossfade feature to provide a tiny overlap between songs. I did that on mine and it seems I notice the problem less, although I've never done a definitive "scientific" experiment to make sure it's a solution.
I think DebetEsse also got the ISP threat from torrenting a few months ago. Not sure what show it was for though.
Question: I'm trying to use the Scholastic website's free homepage maker for my teaching, and in registering, I got a "Variable cookie error" message.
What does this mean? That my comp has cookies disabled? And how do I fix this, if so?
What's the selection like on computer bags for 17" laptops? Getting better, I figure. I'll need to track down a knapsack.
How much do you want to spend?

I've seen lots of positive comments about the Spire packs, and their customer service was very good about answering my questions. The same cannot be said for booq's customer service.
It looks like a 17" backpack will cost around $150. I may look into getting a sleeve, if one of my current backpacks is long enough.

A humorous article where the author tries to get various Windows viruses to run under Linux, using Wine (a Windows emulator): [link]
Linux just isn't user-friendly when it comes to viruses. You have to work to find and run them. It doesn't happen automatically as it does with Windows. The GNU/Linux folks really should improve this glaring discrepancy.
have a dumb question. Can anyone tell me what Adobe Acrobat Professional does. As a mac user, I can already create pdf's from everything. Does it let me manipulate them more? Can I make the kind of .pdfs where people can fill in boxes?
Thanks
I have Acrobat, and yes, you can make the kind of PDFs where people can fill in the boxes and you can do some limited direct editing of PDF files.
