Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

WOO HOO!!

I just talked to Saget; he wants to know if you're gonna be contributing any income to our three-way marriage. I told him you'll more than pay your way via computer expertry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Every time I try to launch Entourage, I get an error message saying Entourage cannot access my data, and I need to rebuild the database. It then launches a utility where I can do this. After three rebuilds, I'm still getting the same error message. Anything I can do short of reinstalling? (Fortunately, I still have the discs.)

Thrive to spite them

I tried to update iTunes and something happened and it didn't work. I'm not sure what happened but it sort of stalled out during the install part.

When I tried to install it again I got this error message:

1607: Unable to install InstallShield Scripting Runtime.

And now I can't seem to find iTunes on my computer. (I'm running Windows XP).

Can someone help ?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Have you tried googling the error?

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

Fascinating article - that is, if you find software development and operating systems interesting....

REDMOND, Wash. -- Jim Allchin, a senior Microsoft Corp. executive, walked into Bill Gates's office here one day in July last year to deliver a bombshell about the next generation of Microsoft Windows.

"It's not going to work," Mr. Allchin says he told the Microsoft chairman. The new version, code-named Longhorn, was so complex its writers would never be able to make it run properly.

The news got even worse: Longhorn was irredeemable because Microsoft engineers were building it just as they had always built software. Throughout its history, Microsoft had let thousands of programmers each produce their own piece of computer code, then stitched it together into one sprawling program. Now, Mr. Allchin argued, the jig was up. Microsoft needed to start over.

Dan,

I googled. I got this site: [link]

I went to follow the directions and I got the part about opening C:\Windows\Installer and I'm having problems because I can't find it. I was about to try putting it in the Address bar when I realized there was no address bar. So I went to View - Toolbars - Address Bar and enabled it. BUT! The address bar is grayed out and I've tried everything to try and get it to become active and I can't.

I did a Search for it, and what I need doesn't come up. I did a search for Installer (including in hidden folders) and what I need doesn't seem to come up.

What the FUCK?

So earlier, I try to synch my iPod. It tells me some of the songs can't be synched because my iPod software is too old. OK, I think, whatever. I'll update later, I think. I run off to the movies, and on the way, realize that what happened was that all of my purchased music has mysteriously disappeared from my iPod. I'm pissed. But I think, ok, when I get home, I'll fix it.

I get home, finish downloading shit, it still says the same thing. I go to apple. I download "iPod updater". I try to install it. It wont' freakin' let me install it. What the HELL?????????
