the end result is that it takes much much longer to download shows
Great. The big corps are DDOSing now. I'd like a sane world, please?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's their stuff. I find it shortsighted, but sane enough.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have to say, that does explain a LOT. Like why my Rome downloads have been taking so long. t /part of the problem
I just got off the phone with Apple, and dude, SO NICE to talk to a tech support person who actually LISTENS to me when I tell them everything I've tried, instead of cutting me off and going down the official list of things to say. He let me explain what I'd tried, said "Okay, well you've done everything we can suggest over the phone." And then we talked about taking it to the Apple Store vs just mailing it to the repair people. Quite possibly the most pleasant tech support call I've ever had.

Somewhere, somehow I frelled my bluetooth modem connection between my Palm T5 and my Motorola V3. In order to fix this, I wanted to delete the phone/bluetooth device configs, and start from scratch.
Can't work out how! I've deleted it from the trusted device list, but that's not enough for me to be comfortable. I hate troubleshooting from mid-mess.
Any answers out there?

Man. I wonder if HBO is going to do the same thing for "The Wire" and "Sopranos."
I might need to fire up my usenet account.

Hey. New board.
keyboard has gone psycho. Apparently x and 5 are connected now - Typing either gives me "x5". Similarly m7 and 8w and when I press the spacebar it spaces 5 times and I can't type until it's done. Currently copy-and-pasting spaces.
It's a M&icrosoft Natural *Wireless Keyboard (hmm, the M& and *W are new discoveries). Any ideas on something I can do to correct it? Don't have a spare lying around.
P.S. Definitely the keyboard not the computer, does same plugged into laptop.
ETA: Hmm. It fixed itself. Yay!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Am I correct in my assessment that it's not particularly possible to have my printer on the network without having it attached to my compter at the time?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
You can do it if the printer has an ethernet port, or if you have an independent print server that you can attach it to.
