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!

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

When we sold parallel port printers, we never sold them with cables either. I've just assumed printers still came cable-free.

Huh. I think my last printer (parallel port) did come with a cable, but it was over 4 years ago, so perhaps not.

Have you thought about a print server, Jessica?

Ooh, that's an idea. I'll think about it.

Thanks for the link to the Canon site, Jon.

What's the "HP" iPod. Is it different from the regular Apple iPod?

Hey. New board.

I think it's blue. Or something. So, a bit uglier, but otherwise the same thing. I think. Maybe.

t /completely unhelpful

ETA: Hmm. The iPods on the HP webpage don't look blue. Maybe that part fell through, and their just the same thing.

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

Nah, it's not blue.

Hey. New board.

Ha! X-edit/correction

Hey. New board.

Apparently, the only real difference (besides the HP logo on the back) is that Applecare is unavailable for the HP one.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I thought I'd ask here before venturing too far into the scary world of the rest of the internet.

I just got Age of Empires 2 for my Mac. Does anyone know a way to pop out of the game (like, for an IM) without exiting it (i.e.-minimize the window)?

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

All is well that ends in pizza.

Oddly I can't get there without adding www. to the address.

It might be a part of the propagating lag.
