I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Hey. New board.

Mmm. Depends on how you define "how much."

If I had to guess, um, 35% BSD or so? But most of that was updated or tweaked. And the GUI stuff and, most importantly, coding APIs are all Apple.

It's a remora, dimwit.

Quick question: For an X-Box that specifies 100-127 Volt and 2.1 Amp - would a 65 Watt power source work, or just burn out?

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

Since W = V × A, the X-Box would requrie a 250W power supply.

Thanks. He's an art major, and I'm repressing most of my physics classes, so sometimes there's a bit of danger when we handle the electric conversions.

Since W = V × A

uh.

I before E except after C

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

I think I messed up my Palm charger by using it with a prong adapter in Kenya. Since my sister runs her computer off the adapter, and it worked with the iPod just fine, I was optimistic.

But I got just a wee bit of charge out of it when I got back.

At least I hope it's the charger and not something in the Palm itself.

ha. actually I knew that. I just thought the magical appearance of a formula was kind of funny.

Do you ever do something so incredibly idiotic that you wonder about your actual brain power.

I just realized that my whole problem yesterday with Access not adding was because you have to enter a quantity of 1 if the customer is buying one item (I thought it defaulted to one). Grrr.

I am getting jumpy video playback on my laptop. Can someone point me to where the latest codecs are?
