Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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

If, hypothetically speaking, somebody's i!pod broke badly, will App*le warranty service repair it even if ap*ple is not at fault?

Was it preceded by a synthesized female voice saying, "Warning. Magic smoke containment failure in one minute."?
Maybe he should have just reversed the polarity of the neutron flux.

Best bet is to bring the i&Pod to an A*pple Store. They have a lot of lattitude to exchange items, more than the folks on the other end of the phone at Apple#Care.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
0.0.0.0 is nowhere.
0.0.0.0 is now here.
Think about it.

Can't hurt to try. There was a trifle of a failure-to-remove-from-pockets issue.

Sometimes when I turn on my computer (Dell XPS), the BIOS doesn't kick in and I get a flashing cursor in the upper left hand corner. The system just hangs there and if I hit the power button, it immediately shuts off. Usually when I power it back on, it loads correctly. Any ideas as to why it doesn't always boot up correctly?

Pull the button battery out of your motherboard (this will reset the cmos, btw) and use a voltmeter to check its strength. If it's less than 3 volts, replace it.
SeanK, you might try this, too. Cheaper than replacing motherboards.
