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.

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

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.

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

From putzing around with a friend's Treo it seems that voice-activated dialing isn't native to the software. From googling, the major hit for "Voice Dialing for Treo" doesn't work with Bluetooth earpieces, which is precisely what he wants it for.

Do any Treo users here have a solution in place?

Our wings are not tired

I don't have one, nor do I remember seeing one. As much as I adore my Treo, the OS is extremely long in the tooth, so it may just not be a real option.

Hey. New board.

What ND said re: the Treo.

My MBP order can no longer be cancelled! The internets assure me this means it will probably ship tomorrow YAY.

What does Intel Centrino x86 family 6 Model 13 mean in English? I mean, what's the short form of that processor? Pentium 6, what?

Thanks for the Treo information. I am sad that it's impossible, and redoubled in my insistence on avoiding that convergence. I'm too headspinny about WinCE to consider that OS on a PDA phone.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

What does Intel Centrino x86 family 6 Model 13 mean in English? I mean, what's the short form of that processor? Pentium 6, what?

Various sources:

Looks like family 6, model 13 features the "Dothan" variant of the Pentium-M processor.

(Edited because I really do know how to spell "processor")
