I've got a Canon that's been quite good to me.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I saw an article a while back that said HP branded printers were the best for OS X, but I don't know if it was a real comparison or a puff piece.

Blargh.
I installed the extra memory we talked about the other day...just cuz it was here and, why not? The eMac doesn't seem to even recognize it.
System Profiler says 128 built in and 256 L2 cache.
If the memory card was any good, it would say 256 built in, right?
Or am I misreading?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'd double-check to make sure the memory is properly seated. If it still doesn't work, I'd try removing the memory and putting it back in. Most of my "computer doesn't recognize the memory I just put in" problems have been resolved by one of those two things.
It's also possible they sent you the wrong memory.

I'll reinstall later this evening.
Fingers crossed.

It depends on the system, but usually there's some sort of visual indication that the memory has "snapped" into place, so you might want to look for that too.

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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Bye bye standby?
Huh. Even my new TVs don't have standby.

Off seems to be standby on my TV. Whenever it's off, there's a little red light on the set that says standby. Isn't the only way to stop wasting of that little bit of energy to unplug it entirely? Which is a huge pain in the ass depending on where the plugs are.

I'm with Sue. If I can turn it on with a remote, it's on standby, isn't it? Some juice is powering the IR receiver.
