Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

It may be worth it to clear out the aging episodes as much as possible -- the pixiliation might be the result of mondo-fragmented files.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

My Tivo went through a phase like that, but I'm pretty sure it was TWC's fault, because it wasn't happening on every channel.

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

My computer is acting weird. When I try to shut a browser window, it won't shut, and that window freezes. The only way I can shut it is with Ctrl+Alt+Delete, which shuts every browser window, even when I only choose one. Everything else with the computer is working fine. Any suggestions for a fix?

Dump all the browser history & cache?

I just tried that and restarted the computer. It didn't work. I have also run ad-aware a number of times.

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

Does a G4 iBook have a separate battery that maintains the clock? or is that based on the regular battery?

Not sure about the iBook, but my G4 PowerBook does not have a separate battery. When I let the main one run down the time is reset.

A friend's iBook has recently started losing its time. So yeah, sounds like new battery time.

More silly questions about ripping DVDs: My Best of Siouxsie and the Banshees DVD is Region 0. I can *watch* it on the faithful PowerBook, no problem. But when I open it up in Handbrake or Instant Handbrake, the only chapters either of those two applications show are the copyright blurb and the Universal logo. No chapters with the actual music videos. Help?
