Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Excellent! I think the copy was failing on the folders those instructions say to leave out -- apparently they will be recreated anyway. Let me try later.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
iPod enthusiasts:
I bought my Lovely Wife (tm) an iPod from a guy I work with yesterday. When I look at it in iTunes, it shows only 15 GB free, even tho it's a 40 GB model. 20+ GB missing. I haven't been able to check with the guy I work with yet, but my assumption is that he did not unload what he had on there. Is there a way for ME to just kill those files without taking it back to him to have him remove them? I don't want to see or listen to them, cause, well, he listens to shitty music, I just want the space back.

I knew you guys would have the answer at hand.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is there any good way of getting 1 GB of stuff to another person? CDs don't hold that much, right? I realize I could make two CDs, just wondering if I'm missing something.

Our wings are not tired
Burn a DVD if you've got the hardware. Or a 1 GB jump drive.

DVD would really be the best. 4 gigs would fit

Ooh, I think I do have a DVD burner, I just never think about it. Right on, thanks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Gah. The monitor (actually, a flatscreen TV) attached to my Mac Mini died. Is there a way to safely shut the Mini down? (keystrokes? hold the power button?)
You might think I could ssh or telnet in, but it looks like I never set it up to allow that.
Also, my iPod Nano is attached.
