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?

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

I fucking *love* Thunderbird. It isn't that quick when searching my IMAP inbox, but I think I might have 3000 messages in there.

I like its search capabilities and the filters are great. I recommend Thunderbird.

I'm using Thunderbird Jon. It's not tasking my system at all. I have an obscene number of email accounts.

I used to get virus warning often on my old outlook setup, and I don't get them anymore so it apparently filters that well enough. It catches a good deal of junk, but there are 3 daily spam messages that I can't block for anything. Grrr. One day I will finally delete old accounts that only get junk.
