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

Current or former Konfabulator users:

I really like this, especially because I've become accustomed to the Dashboard on my work computer. But unlike Dashboard, I can't seem to make Konfab disappear completely--if I min all my windows, it's still there, on the desktop. This is screwing with my head, because I like to see the picture on my desktop; it gives me zen. Is there anyway to make it disappear completely, and only come when I command?

All is well that ends in pizza.

If I could fix it myself, I sure would. I hate the disposable society we have. I don't want to add more to the landfill.

hmmmm.... What's wrong with it again?

heh.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Aw, it's too late. I already mailed it in to Konica and I don't think they're going to mail it back unless I pay (although they haven't commenced working on it yet). Plus it'd need parts. They say "Repair to factory specs, repair zoom lens, replace front cover and LCD."

Is $107 a good price for Apple OSX v10.4 "Tiger"?

Are they going to come out with an even spiffier newer OS this summer/soon?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It lists for $129, so yes.

They'll be announcing the next version in June. It won't come out until late fall at the earliest.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm looking at this deal on a Western Digital 320GB Serial ATA hard drive: [link]

At the bottom, it says, IMPORTANT: Because of the time-limited error recovery feature, this product is intended for server applications and is not recommended for use in desktop systems.

Wazzat mean?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's not meant to play back multimedia?

Dunno.

I have a similar WD 320GB SATA drive in my home computer...

...and it works perfectly. I was thinking it might be the same drive, but it's not.

Maybe if I buy Tiger, I will be able to placate the part of my brain that keeps whispering to me that I could afford a new iBook.
