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

I installed Opera 9 on my work machine and it failed utterly to authenticate or play nice with our proxy server. So off it went, once I got out of the cascade of username/password prompts.

This makes me less interested in installing it at home.

So, what's a good AIM-and-MSN-chat-in-one thing for Mac? I know y'all have recommended some in the past.

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

Adium.

Seconding adium.

Hey. New board.

Adium is my favorite piece of free software ever. It's such a wonderful piece of macintosh open-source (far too rare a breed)

Plus, it's pretty.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I, personally, love the meta-profiles and the ability to change the display names.

eta: That is to say "great taste!"

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

Okay this is the mobile phone watch I need. (Phone has bluetooth, site has audio.)

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

Turn a "disposable" 10 dollar digital camera from RitzCamera, CVS, or Walgreens into one you can use over and over, just like a normal digital camera.

Most digital cameras are expensive so you don't want to take them places they might get wet, muddy, lost or broken. With this cheap digital camera you can get decent pictures and take it with you wherever you go without having to worry about losing it or breaking it.

I like this, because something about the whole concept of a "disposable digital camera" just annoys me....
