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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

In the Unix/BSD/Linux/Apple command line world, you are limited by your login as to what you can do. Unless you log in as root, in which case you can do anything. Logging in as root is considered dangerous because you can really mess things up - especially if you forget you're actually logged in as root. But sometimes you need the unlimited power of the root user.
'sudo' is something you preceed a command with if you want to execute just that one command as root, reducing the chance of you screwing up.

Question: Lately, whenever I plug in my flaah drive, all my music files start loading to it automatically! A screen pops up when I plug it in that asks me if I want it to automatically perform a function with Media player, and I always click "Take No Action" but the little bastards start streaming over to the flash drive anyway.
Can someone help me make the madness STOP?

You might open up Media Player and go to the 'Tools' menu and select 'Options...' That will bring up the dialog of many choices. Select the 'Devices' tab and see if there is some device you can whack to keep Media Player from sync'ing.
That's just sort of a guess, I don't really use Windows for anything not work related. Hopefully someone more Media Player experienced can come up with a more definite idea.

I have 3 questions. At least about tech things.
1. Is there any way to get gmail to show only conversations tagged with a specific tag?
2. Is there any way to delete all songs from iTunes that it can't find (ie, that have an exclamation point next to them). I moved my iTunes folder and I have about 3000 of these now.
3. Does anyone use Google desktop? Is there any benefit to it?
