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

Will there be some sort of announcement heralding when the Apple hardware ships with Tiger? Of course there will -- but if they ship with Tiger before April 15th, where to do I need to be looking to see when to buy?

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

Canon Powershot S1 IS

I've had my eye on that camera since it came out a year ago. I saw a good sale price on it a few weeks ago and regret not putting more consideration into making a purchase.

That said, I'd never go back to a non SLR camera

I'd love to have a digital SLR as a second camera since I covet the ability to zoom in on a subject, but I'm looking for something a bit smaller and more portable.

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

I have an idiot client who can't read, and we're trying to make it easier on them. Anyone know how to turn off the automatic link-ifying of email addresses and URLs in Word? (I'm poking around in Options right now.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

In a document or in the application? This is what Microsoft says

Microsoft Word can format Web and e-mail addresses as hyperlinks as you type, but you can turn off this feature if you want.

1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
2. Under Replace as you type, select or clear the Internet and network paths with hyperlinks check box.

Aha! Yeah, never would have found that on my own. ('Cause, underlining links != correcting anything. But whatever, it's off now.)

Thanks.

Has anyone used the services of ColorWare? [link]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to spend the $60 and send them my iPod so they can turn it into a sparkly burgundy iPod, but I thought I'd check if anyone I actually know has worked with them.

Also, Jessica, you can right click on the URL and there should be an option for "remove hyperlink".

I HATE the way Word automatically makes them clickable links; it makes it very difficult to edit references to web pages.

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 am a shameless consumerist conformist materialist.

I now have a TiVo.

I take comfort in the fact that I will never own as much technology crap as ND.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Steve Wozniac doesn't own as much tech crap as ND.

Our wings are not tired

I need to sell some of my technology. I think my Powerbook G4/400 and my iBook 600 are going to go up for sale.
