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?

Um.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

Trust my rage

So in the land of torrenting, if I'm seeding 1 peer, does that mean if I turn it off, said peer will not longer be able to complete the file? I want to shut it down, but I feel this responsibility.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

If you shut it down, it'll find someone else. There's always another.
