A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I just purchased this Remote Control.

Oooh. Let us know how intuitively and ergonomically friendly it is. The problem I've had with universal remotes is that it's impossible to remember where buttons are (or they have those ridiculous touch screens). Unlike, say, the TiVo remote, which is the friendliest remote ever.

Our wings are not tired

Yeah, I'm eager to see how this works out. The design sorta mimics the Tivo remote and it's highly customizable, so hopefully it's a winner.

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

I'm tempted by the idea of a UR for everything but the TiVo, but it'd just be worse when I lose it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Crap. Why does my iBook suddenly say "No battery available"? (It's running off the adaptor, but it's as if it doesn't see the battery anymore.)

eta: Weird. Despite being connected to the adaptor, the battery ran down to 0%. I shut down, removed the battery and reinstalled it, rebooted and now it's charging. I'm already at 0.3%.

eta²: Ok, now all of a sudden the battery is at 100%. Somethin' ain't right here....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am using Safari Version 2.0 (412.2) on a Mac with OS 10.4.2, and trying to sign on to a site that requires a subscriber login. I'm getting a notice that the site had detected that my javascript is disabled, and I can't log in as a result. I have looked in my preferences, and both java and javascript are enabled.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the site to "see" my javascript?

What's the URL?

I'm gonna make a wild guess and say that maybe the site uses some Javascript as a test to see if Javascript works. Maybe the test is failing for reasons other than Javascript beind disabled.

I have the same version of Safari and OS X as you, and I have the same problem.

I was right - the page uses Javascript to remove that "We have detected that your browser’s Java Script is disabled." message and replace it with the actual login thing. I'm not sure why this is not working for Safari.

This is the Javascript bit that replaces the message (in case anyone else has any ideas):

<script language="JavaScript">
top.IFRAME_LOGIN.location.href="some url";

</script>

Thanks for checking, Tommy.
