I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh, and another question before I run out the door.

I took my iPod out for a walk yesterday, and by the end was unpleasantly aware of a random ticking noise I was getting when I left the iPod hanging in my jacket pocket. I didn't get the tickign noise when I carried it in my hand.

There wasn't anything in the pocket for the iPod to hit against -- it seemed to be just the motion that did it.

Has anyone else experienced this? Should I contact Apple? I registered my iPod, but I don't have the receipt (I don't think), as it was a gift. I assume it's under warranty...

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

Gmail is dead to me! Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead!

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

(anyone else?)

Well,

Mostly lurking...

It's dead to me too. And I need to get in there, damn it! There may be important messages since I last checked it 20 minutes ago!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

(anyone else?)

Yup. All morning.

All is well that ends in pizza.

It's a beta service. We've been fortunate for as much up time as we've gotten so far.

They are probably implementing something.

I hope.

Yay! It's back -- right after the guy I was waiting for email from gave up and dropped by the house.

A straightforward (i.e. not very geeky) look at the problems associated with running outdated operating systems (eg Windows 98, Mac OS 9). Lists the various Mac and Windows OSs from Windows 95 and Mac OS 8 up to the present, what each OS can and can't do, and the level of support each receives from MS/Apple.

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

I'm using Win2k. When I restarted my computer, things became very wonky, and I discovered the problem was that my year had suddenly changed to 2165. What the hell would make my computer go into the future?
