Psst. Go Camino, choose Camino.
I'm loving it.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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!

Hey. New board.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have several questions!
1) Due to being a sloppy internetter, my computer is full of crap, giving me popup ads all the freaking time. I uninstalled a couple of things I thought might have been the culprit, and ran AdAware a bunch of times, but yet it still happens. Any ideas?
2) Is there any way to get stuff off a pdf into a spreadsheet without retyping it?
3) Is there anything I need to know before I burn my first CD? (I realize I am late to the game.)
As ever, thanks in advance.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jesse, you could also try installing and running Spybot. Sometimes different spyware programs are better at whacking certain bugs. You may also have something that respawns every time you reboot. You might see what AdAware catches, make a note of the name, and do some research on the 'net.

Ah, Spybot. Thanks -- I knew there was another one, but forgot what it was called.

If I only had a brain...
You also need to reboot in Safe mode and then run the program.
Frelling Windows.

Run which program? Spybot?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Both, really.

Right on, thanks.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Hi Noise Design, This is your old G4/400 Powerbook. I miss you sooooooooooo much. This crazy lady who keeps poking me doesn't know what she's doing.
Have fun with that Mini tramp.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My next home networking task is the server. I'm thinking Linux. I've shared Linux directories before to Windows machines, but there was a domain server involved. I'm good with getting back up to speed on that.
What do I need to know is what should I be doing to share with an OS X machine?
