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!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Why would one do that? Because one can?

well, on the ipod hack websites I read there are a couple of reasons for it:
1) viewing graphics on the ipod; 2) playing games on the ipod; 3) recording sound on the ipod using relatively cheaper means than the Apple and Belkin microphones, etc.
here is a good site that discusses it:

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ooh! I just discovered that in Opera you can manipulate pages open in windows that do not have the focus. If you perform the mouse gesture over the button (I'm assuming it works in the tabbed layout too) for that window, the page will refresh/close/back up/whatever. This probably explains some confusing behaviour I've written off over the past little while, and is also kinda nifty when you have 15 pages open.

So, yeah. this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Video quality is becoming quite amazing these days, huh?
That gave me quite a startle, because just to the right of the Serenity trailer is my department's new HD reel. (Which, ironically, I can't watch here at work because the G5 in the back has yet to be connected to the network, and it's the only Mac in the entire office.)

Dear GOD, but watching video on the Powerbook is a dream. I can shrink a torrented video window to 1/2 size, and everything still looks perfectly legible.
I'm just blown away by the pretty -- the HD is a whole nother level.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Wow. Macs are super duper simple to add to a Windows network. Your techs must be really busy.
Unless it requires a new ethernet drop, that's a whole ballgame apart.

It requires getting official permission to add a non-Windows 2000 computer to the network. The level of red tape that goes on around here is...impressive.
In theory, I could go back there right now and plug it in myself in about three seconds, but I don't really feel like getting fired.

Can anyone help me with a PHP class thing?
I'd like to loop through the properties in a class -- automatically. Sort of like a foreach -- is that possible?

In case anyone's in the market, Apple.com has several refurbished iPod Mini's available for $169 here.
