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

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?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
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?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Ephpod has been mentioned around here.

I originally bought a Linksys and returned it because I was having installation issues (I am running OX 10.4). Apparently the issue was the Linkys I bought had a speed booster that doesn't get along with OS X. It was much easier for me to install the Netgear I purchased next (which was about $20 cheaper as well). The Netgear router has worked great for me so far.

I will do some googling. Thanks, Daniel.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
tina, depending on which firmware the ipod is running, ephpod will not work.
the best thing might be to mount the ipod and copy the music files over to the hard drive. This only worked for about 50% of my music when I tried it over the New Year.
Anapod Explorer is pretty good, but it is $25.
