You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

All is well that ends in pizza.

So you didn't have your iPod with?

If no one wants to buy the transmitter here, maybe you could bring your iPod and the transmitter in and let them discover the trouble, and maybe in the end they'll just refund it anyway. Sometimes they even fix the iPod for free. Sometimes.

Worth a try, if you have the time.

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

Does one have to upgrade Powerbook memory symmetrically? Or can I buy 1GB and use it with my 512MB DIMM?

Our wings are not tired

Powerbook memory does not have to be done in symmetric pairs. You'll be just fine going to 1.5 GB as you have described.

Excellent! I'd hate to buy 512MB and find out I wasted it because I need more.

Thanks.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I'm wondering how long I will have TV if I can't TIVO. Cooking shows are the only thing I seem to be able to handle with commercials anymore...

I don't know *any* CSS, so I can certainly attest to that title.

I suppose I should take some time to update my web skillz.

Microsoft Anti-Spyware Removes Norton Anti-Virus

An anonymous reader writes "According to a story over at Washingtonpost.com, the latest definitions file for Microsoft's Anti-Spyware beta flags Symantec's Norton Antivirus products as a password-stealing trojan and prompts users to delete portions of the program. Users who follow the instructions hose their installation of Norton, requiring delicate Windows registry edits and a complete removal/reinstall of Norton. Microsoft's support forum is quickly filling up with complaints about this problem, many from businesses that have been pretty hard hit. This should be a cautionary tale about deploying beta products in production environments."

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

Thanks for that, Daniel. A friend of mine mentioned that he'd gotten that trojan warning today, and that his Norton installation was hosed. He assumed it was the trojan that had hosed Norton, and was going nuts trying to figure out how it had gotten onto his machine. I have passed that along. If you hear the sound of ultimate suffering coming from Fall River, that's why.

Maybe I should post that in Press, for the non-tech Buffistas to be warned.

I think I will.
