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!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It worked! Yay!

The other files I've downloaded with the same program did stitch themselves together. This one left me to my own, sadly inadequate, devices.

Anyone know the answer to the other vexing question, why I can't connect to the seeders who are clearly there?

I both love and hate technology. I need a live-in geek.

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

I warrant those were put up in one piece.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita, right I believe. You can put files up in one piece or put them up in 72 pieces in a folder.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

My friend recently bought a new iMac and an AirPort Extreme. He is able to connect wirelessly with the new iMac and his older G4. When he brings home his laptop from work (IBM ThinkPad that is set up for wireless), he isn't able to connect to the AirPort network. He says the PC sees it but he can't connect. Any ideas? (I plan to do the same set up in the near future so I'm curious for myself as well.)

Is it okay to write labels on a CD with a Sharpie? Because I already did. Not on the business side, of course.

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

Yes. I think a Sharpie (or similar) is the only writing utensil that is OK to use.

Mercy is the mark of a great man. [beat] Guess I'm just a good man. [beat] I'm alright.

Drawing pens work for writing on CDs, too.

Our wings are not tired

There are some that will argue that specifically Sharpies are not good for CD's. The claim is that something about their particular ink is corrosive. However, I've been using Sharpies on CD's for more than 10 years now with no problems that I can trace to them.

Excellent.

hip deep in pie

The best pens for writing on CDs, from a preservation standpoint, are ones with solvent-free ink. But no one has actually studied the effects of markers on CDs.
