Dell towers, hell, even the Gateways downstairs aren't as loud as this thing. And it's brand-new, too. I can't believe HP is so incompetent at fan-making; or at least having the proper firmware so it doesn't sound like I'm working at O'Hare.
I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
So in the great chasm of my workday this morning, I set up Google Reader. Is there a way to make the feeds show the pictures? Because when I had the feeds set up via livejournal, the pictures were always there, but with GR, the pictures are just the ALT tags. And I can't find a setting in the preferences that would adress that.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Sorry SA -- I haven't had any problems with Google Reader displaying images. Could it be a browser setting?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have avoided the whole blackberry thing until now, but a friend is visiting and let DH and I play with hers and now WE MUST HAVE ONE.
We are Mac users at home and of course will want everything to sync up nice and be massively cool. Any advice on where to shop, provider contracts to look out for, which devices are the awesomest, etc?

Some feeds display images and others don't, so I don't think so. And I don't think it's a setting by the feed itself, since the images were displayed on LJ.
Robin, ita's pretty familiar with BB devices. You might want to email her.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Andi's titanium powerbook g4 has suffered what appears to be a catastrophic blunt force trauma.
Any suggestions of really cheap replacements (Mac only) welcomed.

And it's brand-new, too.
Sounds like a bad fan, could you contact tech support and have them listen to it on the phone. If it is that bad then I'm pretty sure your fan is defective.

Probably. But I'd have to go through IT here at the hospital and really, the annoyance of the sound is outweighed by my desire to avoid doing actual work.
