For some reason an articulated skull is much grosser to me that a mouse made out of a real skull. Although if that's really sheep it must be a lamb. Maybe that's how come--the skull hasn't fused yet.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
And then there's my mom's, which are a conglomeration of random letters and numbers with various capitalizations stuck in there for good measure. She uses the first letters of a phrase you'll remember method, which I taught her but don't use. She's awesome.
I do this with movie quotes.
Our home computer's password is a version of the word "Serenity" and I love the hint D came up with: "malcontent".
That mouse is awesome. If I could afford it I'd have a steam punk house.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I think so, too.

Something weird has happened with my Firefox after the last update. Aside from somehow reverting my bookmarks back to some much earlier state - anything bookmarked in the last few months isn't there anymore - the browser has started automatically reloading the last session every time I start it up, rather than asking me. I can't find where to change the setting for this. Help?

That sounds like what it's currently doing. I didn't know there was a setting for it to ask, unless it crashed.

I think I've come across a square peg/round hole scenario.
Due to the theft of show playback computers at work, I'm wanting to take our 20" iMac and stick it in a rack. Ideally it would be on a VESA type swing arm, so it could fully articulate around, so it's easy to look at during tech rehearsals, and then easily stores in the rack. It looks like this will be a custom made job. Unless y'all have some GENIUS idea?? Of course, the 20" iMac doesn't have VESA clamp, and is 0.5 cm wider than a 19" rack opening, such that the computer would have to go in sideways.
So? How much crack am I smoking to want this?

Our wings are not tired
I looked into this for a few of my 20" iMacs at one point and came to the conclusion I'd be wasting an awful lot of money to try to make it happen and then it wouldn't work nearly as well as I would want it to.
Money would be better spent getting a Mac Mini, strapping it to a rackmount shelf and then getting a proper 19" LCD that you can put on a real Vesa mount.
