No. It's running on battery
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

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.

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

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?'

A friend of mine just switch to a Mac iBook after years of PC. Does she need anti-virus software, and if so, does anyone have any good recommendations?

Random question: anyone know why my powerbook would suddenly think it's 1969? I mean, I know I've been reading a book about timetravel, but...geez!
I was using it last night, plugged it in, went to bed, used it this morning, shut it down, flew home, started it up again...and all of a sudden it's all "Your computer is set before 2001 you might have issues!". And I go to "Date and Time" and it says it's set to update automatically, but...7PM on 12/31/69??
(ETA: I changed it manually, logged on to the internet, changed it back to automatic update, and it's fine now...but still weird)

I don't know why your Powerbook would have reset itself, but midnight 12/31/69 is zero in Unix time, and is the default whenever a Powerbook (all Macs?) clock resets itself.
I don't understand why 7 pm though -- that's weird.
