Okay, that's it. I fell victim. I'm in the process of installing ubuntu on one of my machines. In a short time my desktop will have three computers with three different operating systems running and no less than 4 LCD monitors shining away. I think I need help.
Note to self: religion freaky.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

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

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I have a new Mac edit station at work, and I'd like for the tower to be farther away from the monitor than the included monitor cable currently allows. Does Apple sell extension monitor cables? I can't find any on the Apple site, but maybe I'm just not looking in the right place...

It's not hard to find DVI extension cables.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
So I'm better off buying separate DVI, USB, and Firewire extension cables than trying to do all three at once? Off to Staples!

Is there anything I can do about my domain being used to send spam? My provider says that it appears it's just my addresses being spoofed, and thus, there's nothing they can do. I was concerned I was being used in some way as a junk remailer, but if they're just spoofing my addresses, there's nothing I can do, right? It's very frustrating, knowing I'm contributing to the problem, somehow, and having my nonprofit's name go out attached to some very problematic spam. Eventually, spam filters will block my domain, right? Plus, it's filling my mail folders with undeliverable notices to where I can't distinguish between it and valid mail.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I need a new laptop case for my 13" MacBook. Am thinking of getting a backpack (one specifically designed for a laptop). Any recommendations?
