Woe to the fucking wicked.

So, my iBook power cord is lighting up orange, but it won't charge my computer. Any ideas?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What's a good free PDF creator tool for OS X?

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

Are you trying to do something that the stuff that's built into OSX doesn't handle?

I'm using Word and I don't see anything built in. Where would it be?

Oh, THERE it is! Right in the Print dialog. I'm used to PDF being listed as a separate printer, but in this version it's its own menu thingy at the bottom of the box. All is well.

From Slashdot:

PlayfullyClever writes "A senior telecommunications executive at BellSouth, said yesterday that Internet service providers should be allowed to strike deals to give certain Web sites or services priority in reaching computer users, a controversial system that would significantly change how the Internet operates. Some say Small Firms Could Be Shut Out of Market Championed by BellSouth Officer. William L. Smith, chief technology officer for Atlanta-based BellSouth Corp., told reporters and analysts that an Internet service provider such as his firm should be able, for example, to charge Yahoo Inc. for the opportunity to have its search site load faster than that of Google Inc." Next up, well dressed men go door to door collecting their monthly "protection money". 'It sure would be tragic if your users started getting 1500ms ping times, wouldn't it mister dot com?'
