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

Oh, do I need a special Apple-only Firewire cable/adapter for my MacBook Pro?

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

It's a Firewire 800 connection, which is different than regular Firewire.

Oh. Thanks.

Is Firewire 800 backwards-compatible with regular Firewire devices?

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

Think the search market is saturated? Microsoft doesn't. Lifehacker discusses bing.com.

Which reminds me--what settings could be set in OS X to make web sites think I'm in Australia? My PC seems to be in the US just fine.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I heard that Wikipedia has banned the Scientologists from editing their entries - anyone know if this is true or just one of those urban legends?
