And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This appears to be a problem with the server, not on your end.

I suppose that's kind of good. (In that I didn't break it.)

The baffling part is that I haven't changed any permissions recently, and all the files involved in posting to the database have both "write" and "execute" permissions. Maybe I missed one.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Does anyone know if the TV shows downloaded through iTunes have closed captioning, and if so, how to turn it on? I am watching Lost while stuffin envelopes, and wish I didn't have to turn it up so loud!

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

all the files involved in posting to the database have both "write" and "execute" permissions. Maybe I missed one.

"read" permission, perhaps?

Yes, they have that too. :)

Anyhoo, they're all 774 now (they were 700 earlier, or maybe 744, I can't remember), and the problem has gone away.

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

Anyone know offhand what Comcast's outgoing mail server is?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

TiVo sells their own wireless adapter...I wonder how much faster it really is.

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

aren't they a day late and a dollar short?

They're not a dollar short if it's actually significantly faster.

They are definitely hella late, though.
