Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

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

All is well that ends in pizza.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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.

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

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

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

This may be obvious, but are you running anything else at the same time? Some web pages suck the CPU power of my iBook with their animated .gifs or Flash even when I'm not looking at the page, so I often have to close pages to get video to playback OK on my iBook.

Then again, my iBook is a 900 mhz G3, so it's a little low on power.
