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.

Free Mac stuff - today only:

This is a deal worth writing home about. Inventive's iClip application, a well-known multiple clipboard utility, is rapidly approaching its 4.0 release. To draw attention and get some new users onboard, they've teamed up with MacZot to give iClip 3 away today for absolutely free. Score it while it lasts, folks.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Ever since I installed the scheduled software updates on my PowerBook yesterday (running 10.4.7) I can't minimize any of my programs, either by double-clicking on the top tab, or by clicking on the tellow button. Nothing happens! Has anyone seen/heard of this before?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Does anyone here have a Motorola Q from Verizon? I am getting myself a new cellphone next week. I was going to get a Treo, but the Motorola Q is cheaper and it seems comparable.

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

Has anyone replaced their own ipod battery? I'm not worried about going into the machine itself, but whether it was relatively difficult/easy, worked okay, etc.
