Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

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

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....

Disposable digital cameras are not actually disposed of. They replace parts when they get the film out and sell it again as a new ddisposabe digital camera. So more of a camera share operation like Zipcar is for car sharing.

Anyone know of a simple on line reference for window script hosting. Not just sample files - but the a reference of the basics. It has been so long that I have forgotten how to use the file object for copying files, how to execute exes and so forth. And I'm too cheap to pay for a reference microsoft should have included in the help files.
