Porn buddy!
edit, erm, not to imply your son and porn or anything -- just that Coupling thing where a friend is designated to de-porn your belongings upon your death.
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

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.
If I get hit by a bus, he's to come and tell you guys, and the other sites I frequent where folks might want to know.
Given what happened over at the Bronze, you might want to mention that we're going to need some kind of proof. Ya know, a certificate of some sort, or maybe an ear.

Ears are not definitive enough. He could just have her locked up in a closet somewhere. Eyeball? Heart? Something with commitment.

I definitely am not thinking I"d want my parents to have access to my email or LJ or anything! OTOH, I feel like I really should keep a password somewhere--if for no other reason than that, should I die, my laptop shouldn't be forced to be a brick, ya know?
I guess if I were dead, I'd be fine with my sister getting into my stuff. (Should I die, please reference this post to Yahoo, eh? :)

You don't need a password to reformat the machine and start over. Which is what I'd like my successors to do with my hardware thanks. Okay, except for the TiVo. They can keep my TiVo season passes. In fact, I may just insist they do.

I'm with Yahoo! but I sympathize with the family too. I hope they can find some way not to erase the data and maybe appoint a trustee of some sort to parse it for publication.
And FTR, someone else has been writing all my posts. And my emails. And surfing the web from my computers. Poncy bugger.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Two ears and a tail?

Are you ready to be strong?
Hey, ita? That little iPod car device thingie you linked to? What does it mean that it has "no FM modulation"? Does that mean it sounds like shit?
Thanks, all, by the way, for the Tivo remote info.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I'm backing Yahoo! on this one. If the lad wanted anyone to see the contents of his yahoo email account, he sh/would've left provisions for his password to be made available. If Yahoo were to give in on this one, they'd have to give in on every request and that could spell the end of yahoo email.

Actually, if I understand it correctly, FM modulation sounds like shit. Relatively. Connecting your iPod via FM is the lowest quality option.
But it'll take a bigger audio geek than me to confirm.
