I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Trust my rage

Yeah, we tried it because we were dying to see BSG before it begins again and we were pleasantly surprised.

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

The screen size of a video iPod is 320x240, more or less the quality of VHS.

HiddenSky, I used your comcast address as my referrer. I hope that was right.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

are the ipod video files something proprietary? Can't you burn them on to DVD media like you'd burn anything else?

I like my new DVD player than can read avi (etc) files that are just stored on the DVD.

Argh. Stupid anonymous LJ posters. Someone posted a comment that I seriously didn't appreciate, anonymously, in my journal (and not some random porn or christian shopping or anything). I had IP tracking on, so I plugged that into a whois thing and found out they're from Cavalier Telephone (which is basically only in Virginia), so now I'm totally going "who is it? WHO IS IT?" thinking of anyone and everyone I know who might be posting from Virginia and pissy at me. Harumph.

(Edit: Needless to say, I've turned off anonymous posting for a while)

Ann, that's a ferret.

thinking of anyone and everyone I know who might be posting from Virginia

Can't help you find the culprit, meara. We don't have Cavalier.

I've heard their ads mostly in the Fredericksburg area, if that helps.

Yes, it was...thanks, I got an email saying the points posted! Welcome to the Tivolution as they like to say.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have a friend (no, really... if it were me, I would totally cop to it) that had his computer massively lock him out. Apparently when the Dept of Defense secures your computer and you forget the password, you are well and truly frelled. He took it to a sevice and they cracked in enough to give him a new profile and access to everything. Which, okay, good.

But he lost his iTunes playlists. Where does Apple hide that info? I have poked around but have had no luck.

I'm not past the point of telling him to just recreate them, but I'm also a lot curious as to where this voodoo logic is stored. Thus, hivemind pokage.

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

Since it's the DoD, I assume it's a PC....

Anyway, my home PC is dead, so I should probably just wait until I get to work tomorrow, but... every Windows user gets their own user directory (with subdirectories for music, pictures, etc.). Since this guy has a new user account he's gonna have a new user directory. I'm guessing that's where the iTunes playlist would go. He should look in the old user directory (if he in fact still has access to that directory - he may no longer have the rights).

Or you can just wait until someone who knows what they're talking about to show up.
