You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

No, I didn't feel like you were attacking me. Sorry if I implied that. I just saw 1998, and thought "that can't be right." When I looked at the linked page, it said 1990, which made more sense to me.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Psst. Daniel, you did it again.

I blame glucose.

Mostly lurking...

Does anyone know if it's possible to check a login record in gmail? Several new e-mails of mine were "read" yesterday while I was napping, and I'm a little worried that my account has been hijacked.

vw, I don't think so, but can you change your password as a precaution?

Yeah, I already did that.

VW, is it possible that you logged in at a public terminal and it stayed logged in for the next person?

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

I blame Toto.

But really, if you changed your password you should be safe.

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

Okay, I have a basic question. If I get a bluetooth cell phone. How do I connect it to my PC? Like what do I need? I'm leaning toward a Nokia or Motorola phone right now and I think with Motorolas you need an adapter and Motorola Phone Tools. Is that right?

I have a Dell Latitude D600. This is most likely the computer I'll be using.

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

Next, where is the best place to buy tools and adapter?

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

I think with Motorolas you need an adapter and Motorola Phone Tools. Is that right?

Not for Bluetooth connections, no. Basically Windows and the phone OS will allow you to set the phone discoverable, have Windows search for Bluetooth devices, and then you create a PIN you type into both devices and then they're linked.
