Thanks, folks! I've been hitting MacSlash again recently and Macintouch is an old standby. I'll add the others.
I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Microsoft Says Recovery from Malware Becoming Impossible
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.—In a rare discussion about the severity of the Windows malware scourge, a Microsoft security official said businesses should consider investing in an automated process to wipe hard drives and reinstall operating systems as a practical way to recover from malware infestation.
"When you are dealing with rootkits and some advanced spyware programs, the only solution is to rebuild from scratch. In some cases, there really is no way to recover without nuking the systems from orbit," Mike Danseglio, program manager in the Security Solutions group at Microsoft, said in a presentation at the InfoSec World conference here.
Heh - is "nuking the systems from orbit" common IT usage?

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

IME, yes. And even more common practice.

All hail crappy web programming. I just tried filling out my application for unemployment online. They warn you not to use the "backspace" button (I think they actually meant the "back" button in the browser toolbar. I didn't. However, I did use the Window menu in Firefox to select the window to make it active again after having browsed at something else. The page lost every bit of info I had entered into it. GRRRRRR.

All is well that ends in pizza.
In Windows XP, when I'm connecting to another machine in a workgroup, what can I do to change the name with which I use to connect to the other machine?
ETA: For instance, when trying to connect to another machine on my company's internet, I'm required to log into the site with the username workgroup(backslash)danielj, but the ability to change is greyed out, and the name is workgroup(backslash)guest, and I can't recall how to change the default name.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The weird thing is that Apple's shares are up 7% on the news.
I don't get it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
That makes me think-- is there such a think as "virtual mac", allowing me to run mac only programs on a PC? I really like ical!

Daniel, I think you need to go to 'My Computer,' but I just discovered that it's not working (it just locks up) on my work XP computer. Weird....

The shares being up doesn't surprise me. My first thought is that that move by Apple will make it easier to move into the enterprise market. They were already making gains there with OS X, but now that businesses know they can still run Windows natively when they want, I think things are really going to open up. The only reason I bought a PC was because voice recognition has the lead there and you can't use Virtual PC to run Dragon Naturally Speaking.
