I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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!

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Of course, Tommyrot.

Okay, it's .mac renewal time for me again. I'm going to see if I can scrape up the bucks. Plus? I am looking for a cheaper one.

Here's what froogle finds: [link]

Anyone see any for less than $75?

Hey. New board.

Hey, Eddie, your suggestion of moving the RAM to a new slot worked on my G5. At least for the moment. Thanks!

I'm going to be, um, slightly unethical and try to sell it while it's working rather than continuing trying to diagnose a nebulous possible problem. Don't need the computer anyway. Will warn of instability to anybody buying, of course, and lower asking price accordingly.

Your tag here.

Cool, glad I could help.

Hey. New board.

Whoa! Whatsmore, putting the 1 GB of RAM I thought it had killed into one of the slots worked now! So now it's back to 1.5 GB of RAM. Sweet.

Man, it's so much faster, too. It's amazing, 512 MB really isn't quite enough for Tiger with a billion big programs running. 1.5 GB is a good feeling.

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

It's the 21st Century, damnit! We're all supposed to have video phones!

I got mine. I'm waiting for everyone else to get theirs.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Question about script errors - I need to access my bank account online, and I keep getting an error. I've made sure that active scripting is allowed, but I can't get the page to come up. It says [Line 8 - Character 1 - 'parent.frames.catchall.location' is null or not an object. - Code 0 - URL htpps://www.charteroneonline.com/lp.asp]

I don't have this problem at home (Firefox) - the problem is definitely with me, not them. Ideas?

I can't get on board with iSight, because it would require that both I and my apartment must be clean(ish) and presentable. And, frankly, neither happens too often, and almost NEVER at the same time.
