Oh, Emily-- I don't suppose you have any of those FM transmitters still around that I could borrow to see if they work?
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

Mostly lurking...
Not Emily, but, she has one that sometimes work and sometimes doesn't... I'm sure she'd let you borrow it, though.

I'm just wondering, since my radio is newer and spiffier, (My new car likes carrots....) if it would work for me. I have a non-fancy cassette adapter (and a CD player) that I can loan her in its temporary stead.

Are you ready to be strong?
Does anyone know where in Apple Mail one changes the little icon associated w/ one's account? Mine changed on its own automatically after my recent computer meltdown, and I'd like to change it back.

Trust my rage
If you mean in e-mail, you can change your photo/icon in Address Book under the entry with your name.
If you mean the icon associated with your account on the computer, that is in System Preferences/Accounts.

Thank you, Stephanie.
How did you all get so effing smart?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone know why my TiVo now speaks Spanish to me? I can't make it not give the SAP for Desperate Housewives. I've made sure that my TV can get just the stereo output, and that the TiVo audio settingis on stereo. There don't seem to be any cable box settings that control it (I looked because the TiVo settings suggested it).
This is slightly irritating.

ita, had you ever been able to watch AVI files on your Tivo? After I switched out the hard drive, I tried this feature again, and now I can watch converted AVI files on the Tivo without problems. I'm not sure if it is the new hard drive that has made the difference or if I am doing something differently, but the 2-3 files I've transferred so far work just fine.

gmail:
they added an autosave command for email you compose. I noticed it yesterday or before and thought I screwed up. I didn't realize it was a "feature."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Google office fun:
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) -- Google Inc. took a big step toward challenging Microsoft Corp.'s dominance in computer word-processing and spreadsheets with the announcement Tuesday that it would distribute Java technology from Sun Microsystems Inc.
The move will let Google create or offer programs that could take on Microsoft Corp.'s industry-leading Office suite.
Under the deal, Google will distribute Java along with the search company's toolbar application, the two companies announced.
The deal, whose terms were not disclosed, would make it easier for PC users to run applications based on the Java programming language. That includes the free productivity suite OpenOffice, a challenger to Office, a major cash cow for Microsoft.
Huh. I forgot there was a Java version of OpenOffice.
The toolbar currently works only on computers running Microsoft Internet Explorer and the Firefox browser.
Does the toolbar work on Mac or Linux?
