Tech support question -- I'm looking at my Add/Remove Programs panel, and there's a bunch of Java stuff on there that looks repetitive. Do I need all of these?

• J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
  
• J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4
  
• Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03
  
• Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_06

# Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03

# Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_06

Yeah, v1.4.2_03 is repetitive. Can't be certain about the J2SEs. Personally, I'd uninstall the lot and reinstall the newest Java from www.sun.com, check for updates and it'd be good.

Edit: Here's the java download page. Strange they seem to have jumped from 1.4.2 to 5.0. I'm not seeing anything immediately obvious as to why on their site.

domain reg question -- is it possible to register a domain name to an organization rather than a person?

Yes.

(oh, yeah, and the org is a duly registered 501 c 3 yadda yadda, which I suspect could make a difference)

That covers my caveat. At least with Network Solutions (only registrar I have experience with), you'll have to prove the legitamacy of an organization (i.e. provide letters of incorporation, etc.) and you'll have to sign an affidavit stating you have the authority to act on behalf of that organization. It can be quite frustrating if you don't have all your Is crossed and Ts dotted.

As far as transferring power, I'd provide a general administrator email address as the Administrative and Technical contact. Your successor could then be provided access to that email account which will help them answer questions sent by the registrar to the address they have on record. You'll also want to share registrar account usernames and passwords and answers to secret questions.

For God's sake, don't use Network Solutions. They are eviler than the evilest evil thing that's evil. If you ever want to leave them, they will make you jump through fifty hoops and it will take months.

Thanks!

Yeah, been there, done that, barely escaped with my sanity intact.

Wow, that takes inner strength.

Can you reboot an iPod? Mine froze again, and I don't really want to wait until the juice runs out.

Thanks!

• Connect your iPod to the Apple iPod Power Adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect your iPod to your Mac's built-in FireWire port
• Toggle the Hold switch on and off (slide it to Hold and then turn it off again)
• Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears (about 6 to 10 seconds). You may need to repeat this step

Looks like I'll need to go back to my car to do it.
