It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Is it networked or plugged directly into your computer? The folks above have only had problems when it was networked.

Sorry that I commented and ran.

The HP all-in-one is connected to both my eMac and an iMac, connected to an ancient HP Laserjet 6L.

Ah, thanks guys. That's what I figured, but the Bloke brought a game back from America to play on my console. He asked and they said it would work fine, but I guess the shop dude didn't know what he was talking about.

There are a number of "mod chips" on the market that can be used to circumvent the codes and play all PS2 games on a particular. The installation is easy - if you're comfortable with opening up electronics and screwing around with wires and a soldering iron inside. Otherwise most vendors have a service where they'll do it for you for a nominal fee. It's well worth it if you plan on playing a lot of foreign games, but NSM for just one.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Someone found a message on the new Mac OSX for Intel software: [link]

I wonder if they put that there as a "legal warning" or as an admonishment?

So no one has any experience with IX Webhosting?

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Ouise -- I have a workbook here that does that. I didn't write the macros, but I use it every month. I could probably send you code snippets if you ever need them.

Thanks for the offer, Jon. I managed to throw something together without too much trouble, so I'm ok now.

Cool! It's not that difficult, IIRC (once you know how!).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So no one has any experience with IX Webhosting?

Sorry Jon, can't help. I need to look around for a new host myself, so I'm interested, too.

Well, I signed up with them. My annual contract with my current provider (who have been reliable, but relatively expensive and not nearly as full-featured as IX) doesn't expire for another month or two. My plan is to transfer a domain name I don't currently use to IX and set up a parallel web site. If they suck, I'll take advantage of the 30 day money-back guarantee and stick with my old place.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I couldn't log into AOL this morning, and got a note to call AOL member services.

My account was used to send bulk spam. They said I could have a trojan on my computer and made some suggestions...but all are for windows peeps. I have a mac.

I changed my password, but I'm without a clue as to how to check my mac for a virus...because it's a mac. I've been using macs for lessee....15 years. Never an issue.

So, anyone have any recommendation for a virus scanner for a mac, or how to check to see if I'm infected? I don't even know where to start!
