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

I don't know about people who actively want to be hotlinked (I've also never encountered people who actively want to share their networks either, but I don't dispute their existence). There are sites who certainly possess the knowhow to prevent it and don't, and I can only assume it's not a deal for them.

But it doesn't make hotlinking not rude, and I think the same for piggybacking on wireless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I downloaded an album, and now I can't get iTunes to recognize it -- any ideas? The songs are each apparently mp3s, but nothing I've tried has worked -- importing the folder into iTunes, adding each file individually into iTunes, just opening the folder and double-clicking on a song, nothing! Weird, right? Is there any way to tell if they aren't actually mp3s or something?

Hey. New board.

When I was at school, I did this. I'd do it here, too, except it's New York City - there are 25 wireless networks within range of my card, which implies even more than that number of people with laptops. If it were just a few, I'd happily leave it open (probably with limited access - web only - for those not me).

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

My wireless network is open, and I don't mind if people share it. (They don't, as far as I can tell -- I can see about as many other networks as there are adjoining apartments to mine, so everyone seems to be using their own.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Does anyone around who knows about Photoshop elements? For the past week or so, all of the images I open are locked, so that I can't add text or anything like that. This didn't used to happen. I've checked all of the preferences, but can't figure out how to change it.

Lee, I use Elements, but I've never had that happen to me. Sorry!

Anyone know how to do a screen grab in Windown 2000? The MS knowledgebase is being unhelpful.

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

Cool, thanks.

Coding and Sleeping

For the past week or so, all of the images I open are locked, so that I can't add text or anything like that. This didn't used to happen. I've checked all of the preferences, but can't figure out how to change it.

Could it maybe be that the files are read-only? That's what it sounds like.

Nope. I tried to open up images that I had previously used sucessfully to make icons, but that are now locked.
