I think they are in mid-tweak, and things haven't settled out yet.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Gmail finally has a delete button! (WHY did they think this was such an optional feature for so long? Why??)
Because of course merely having the space means that you actually *want* to have every stupid me-too response to anything ever?
(It confused the hell out of me, actually, because I'd installed the Greasemonkey script to give myself a delete button, and then all of a sudden I had two.)

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

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
That price needs to come down some, but I like the idea. Wasn't that one of the prize winners at PC World?

I'm having an LJ problem. I have cookies disabled on my work computer, except for a cookie for www.livejournal.com. And now I've added one for myljname.livejournal.com. This allows me to read my flist. But when I go to click on a locked post on a friend's LJ, I cannot open it -- because I don't have a cookie for that LJ domain, just mine.
Is the only way around this to just enable cookies universally? I tried to tell Firefox to grant cookies to *.livejournal.com, but apparently it didn't work.
And does my question make any sense?

Does it work using just livejournal.com?
edit: my guess is no, but there's a firefox extension that will do it for you: [link]

PC question from a PC-ignoramus:
I have a not-very-tech-literate friend who is looking for free software to rip music from his iPod to his PC. Any recs?
I use (and am mostly happy with) Senuti on my Mac but it is not available for Windows. I ask especially because I want to find something super user-friendly for him due to his not-very-techness and I don't know anything about PCs.
Also - iPod users - it is possible to have your iPod cross-formated for both PCs and Macs, correct? Are there problems with doing that?
I just gave him my old iMac because he is computer-less, but his iPod has only ever been used with his folks' PC. I just wondered if I should warn him about potential problems. Or if it's just not possible at all.
Thanks.

Anyone know of a reason to prefer a Netgear router vs a Linksys? For DSL service for Macs running OS X. We currently steal internet from the Frat Boys Next Door, who have a Linksys that works great (for us), but the Netgear is cheaper by 1/2. Thoughts?
