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!
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.
This column about iSight made me think of Scola: [link]
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.
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.
It requires too much clothing, or too careful framing.
We have iSight in our office, but it's barely used. Without a separate microphone (which we don't have), it's useless for video conferencing because you both just end up smiling at each other saying "What? I can't hear you..."
There's a LONG discussion of why video phones don't work in Infinite Jest. I think it came down to the whole being forced to look presentable angle, except there was something about masks. Anyway.
I don't understand why every time I restart my work computer, IE returns to an *old* list of visited sites under the address bar. And so I can't get rid of those misspelled sites that autocomplete so helpfully keeps bringing up.
Okay, here's my question: should I install Service Pack 2 on my Windows XP machine? I haven't yet.
Definitely. Major security improvements in SP2 (not to say that they don't have a ways to go yet). Unless you're worried about compatability issues with some of your software. But those have pretty much all been discovered now (I think) so you should be able to find out if there'd be any potential problems.
