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!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I downloaded a bunch of photos to flickr. When I try to edit the photo title and description, it doesn't seem to save. I add/edit the info and click "save", but when I reload the photo, the new info doesn't appear. Any suggestions? This happens in both Firefox and IE on WinXP.

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

I dropped my DSL for cable, and when it's up, much faster than DSL. And not down more than the DSL either.

Same here.

The only thing to watch out for with cable internet is that some ISPs will charge you per IP address. (I picked Earthlink over Road Runner purely on that basis.)

Meh. I don't download torrents, so the fact that DSL is cheaper was my deciding factor...that and I didn't want the cable company coming too close to my magic "Look I plugged it in and cable comes out of the wall"

It was technology related.

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

Flickr just upgraded their service, too. I'm now signed up for four years: [link]

Flickr occasionally has problems with their database replication, so your change might not be available immediately. (It just worked for me, though). Have you tried going to the photo's page and clicking on the title?

No, it never took. But I'm trying again and now it's working. Go figure.

Hitachi has this odd animation on their site. It's like a Schoolhouse Rock about perpendicular recording technology.

All is well that ends in pizza.
