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!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Gotta love freeware named Palantir.

Hey. New board.

Nonian: There is a hacksy way that involves loading your flist with a custom theme, if you are a Paid member. I can try to find it for you, if you want, but it may be a little tricky to get working. I've never tried to use it, as I only very recently went Paid and my flist has lots of drabble communities.

ETA: [link] it doesn't work too well with protected entries, unfortunately, but seems to work for normal ones, assuming one is paid.

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

I needed to replace the lithium batteries in my Apple WiFi Bluetooth optical mouse after about 7 weeks. Is this normal? (The batteries I replaced were the ones that came with the mouse, so they could have been sitting on the shelf for a bit.) When the Cube goes to sleep, it seems to send the mouse to sleep too, so I would think the mouse would use little power then.

I think the batteries cost $7 or $8 for a pair of AA.

eta: anyone want a 450 mhz PII cpu? (motherboard is dead.)

Trust my rage

Thanks, Nova, but I don't have a paid account. It would have been a nice feature, but I really don't *need* it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Tom, if no one else wants it, I can swap it in for the PII-350 on my #2 machine.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

The return of the pop-up:

sounds like advertisers are getting around firefox. We need to find a fix for this. I got hit several times over at tvtome.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The return of the pop-up:

Yeah, I've seen a few in both Safari and Firefox. Bastards.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

for tvtome, I think I'll get around this by using google and read the cached pages.

Our wings are not tired.

I was wondering why I had popups this weekend. Grrrr.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I've been using Eudora on my PC for years, but have been frustrated at how slow it is to filter messages, especially since I installed spamnix a while back. It seems to be very CPU heavy -- If I'm using iTunes, the music always stops when Eudora checks mail. I was thinking of trying out Thunderbird. Has anyone tried the latest versions of both? Opinions?
