And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Iiiiiiiiinteresting:

Apple will next week announce that it's going to start selling full-length movie downloads through the iTunes Music Store, if the forecast of a US market watcher is correct.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

They've been talking about that for eight months. I'll be really interested to see if they are actually able to go through with it. I mean, what would the file size and type be? Could you only play it in iTunes? Would it therefore transform iTunes (as it more or less is now) from a music application to an all-around media application, like WMP?

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

I'd assume it'd be like watching the TV shows from iTunes, just longer.

Hey. New board.

iTunes technically IS an all-around media player. It's basically a wrapper to Quicktime.

Mmm. I just never viewed it that way until they started incorporating tv; for whatever reason, I see it as a big step to being standard media player.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I am trying to troubleshoot my TiVO again. This is not fun. Anyone know where I can get an extra IR cable?

eta - Nevermind. Found it on the TiVO site finally. Can't make it easy, can they.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

can someone help me with this?

I have a word document that I need to put "DRAFT" on every page (like diagonally, left bottom corner to right upper corner) in grey-scale electronically. It needs to be light enough for the text to show up.

How can I do this?

it needs to be done in the electronic version and print that way as well.

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

It depends on what version of Word you're using, LeN. The procedure changed a bit between the 2000 and 2002 versions, but it looks like the instructions here: [link] are reasonably clear for both.

BTW, I found something I really like: listmixer. You can make temporary bookmarks until such time that you want to put them in your permanent bookmarks on another site.
