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

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!

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.

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

Dude. I told you not to put the Time Accelerator Field near your computer.
How old is your computer? The most likely problem is the battery that keeps your clock running (amongs other things) when your computer is not on is getting old.

This computer was built in the spring of 2003. I just replaced the power supply the spring of 2004 (I think you remember that ordeal).
One possibility was that I was running low on virtual memory before I restarted. When I work on my thesis, I have Reference Manager open, which must be pretty memory-intensive, plus five or six IE windows open for the papers, and Winamp. I, personally, don't think that should be that huge a load on the system. I've got 256 MB of RAM, I think. Or maybe 512.
