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!

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

My PDA is suddenly unable to sync -- it keeps telling me "port is in use by another application."
This seems to have happened last night, when I installed Adobe Acrobat Reader for Palm, but I don't know where to go to tell whatever else is using the port to get its ass out of there.
I'm on OSX (Tiger), using Missing Sync with a Clie, if that helps.
[eta: Oh, how weird -- when I opened Missing Sync manually and tried again, it worked. Now lets see if it will also sync my PDFs.]
[eta2: Sweet! Workiness has been achieved.]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The easiest way to make it go away is to try logging out/logging in again, or if that fails, rebooting.

I have joined the Flickr crowd, and am currently tearing my hair out over the various upload tools. The iPhoto plugin has a tendency to freeze if you ask it to upload more than 10 pics at a time. The OSX downloader is a PITA to use altogether.
Are there other options that aren't on the Flickr site? That work better?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Why I did not bother installing Microsofts new anti-spy ware even when people I respect told me it worked well:
Yeah - I know, not that terrible if you know what you are doing. But most people take the recommendation their protective software makes. And, I bet this is not the worst thing Mickeysoft anti-spyware does over the next few years.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It won't run on Win98, so I'm SOL until I get to my work machine. It looks like an expanded version of the US satellite imagery they added to Google Maps. Although the picture of Coors field they show doesn't appear to be a satellite image. Interesting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've played with it a little -- the animation itself is fascinating. I can fly from Kingston to LA to Nairobi. And you can mark stuff. But I haven't played with it properly.

I was going to say that the Coors Field pic looked similar to the graphics in Flight Simulator.
And it's painfully slow on my 2.8 GHz machine, which may be a function of the display adapter.
