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

.com and .net are fake sites. Don't give them your card number.

It's almost as if... sometimes... on the internet... you can't trust people.

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

Suprnova was up as recently as Sunday night.

The site ita mentioned is fine for current TV shows, but it has nowhere near the number of torrents suprnova lists.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Thank you, ita. I missed Arrested Development this week, and was feeling the lack . . . .

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

Yeah, I gave up on anything more than a couple weeks old, from anywhere. Not enough seeds.

Stoopid question:

Is it possible to use Roxio Easy Media Creator installed on, say, computer A to burn a DVD on a DVD burner installed on computer B? (Windows network, DVD burner is shared on computer B and mounted on computer A.)

I don't know why my boss set it up this way....

keyboard with weighted keys

True. At least get one with touch sensitivity. Even some of the Casios have that, and without it, it's just a piano, not a pianoforte. Heh.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Having realized that it's kind of a PITA to need my computer to be on for DH to print, we're looking into getting a second printer. Having also just spent mumblesomething on the new iMac, we're looking for something pretty cheap.

This looks pretty ideal in terms of what we want to pay. The only catch is that it doesn't come with a printer cable ('cause, cheap) Short of going to a Best Buy and seeing if they have one I can look at, how can I find out if it needs a USB A / USB A cable or a USB A/USB B cable, so I can order them together?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Is it possible to use Roxio Easy Media Creator installed on, say, computer A to burn a DVD on a DVD burner installed on computer B? (Windows network, DVD burner is shared on computer B and mounted on computer A.)

You could assign the burner a drive letter on computer A and see if Roxio recognizes it. I was able to do something similar with a DVD copying utility I've got.

Have you thought about a print server, Jessica? I know that one is more expensive than the printer you linked to -- but it was just the first one I googled.
