All is well that ends in pizza.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I just ditched the old white crumb catcher iMac keyboard for the Aluminum one. Much better! Keys actually work. The crumb catcher is the worst keyboard ever released!

Tom, I've been told that quite a few cars will run in water provided the air intake for the carburetor/pistons doesn't get immersed. Aside from the splashing of the waves, it looks like the hood of the Fiesta stayed above the water.
(And I wouldn't put it past the Top Gear mechanics to fit in some kind of unobtrusive snorkel, though of course it would have been much easier to have a couple identical green Fiestas on hand....)

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 would like to contest that theory.
I remember most all of those. I've only used a few, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
LeN, you use Dropbox, don't you? I just introduced my sister to it so she can transfer huge audio files to her transcriber abroad, and he liked it so much he's going to start using it with other clients.
Does anyone else here use it?

I use it occasionally to give people temporary access to large files.

ita, I love dropbox!!!!!
and, I love the fact that it keeps files you've deleted. because every so often I accidentally delete or overwrite a file I didn't mean to and dropbox has my back.

Dropbox sounds quite useful. I'll have to check that out.
Why do I browse NewEgg sometimes just for the heck of it? I always find something I want to buy. At least I've never actually bought anything I've looked at while just browsing.
$170 bucks for a computer?
I mean, sure the keyboard is probably cramped and it only has 4GB of storage. But if it is good enough to run a web browser, Abiword, gnumeric, and play MP3s then it would do everything I would want out of such a device.
Still, not motivated enough to actually buy it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha, I can't believe I just this morning realized that instead of restarting my computer after an Explorer crash, I can just log out and log back in to restart Windows. It's much faster. Does that work for programs/Windows Updates that need to "restart my computer" to complete installation too? What's the advantage of doing an actual restart?
