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

Any recommendations for a not-too-expensive TV, say 30" or bigger? $300 to $600?

Damn, I haven't priced TVs in a while....

We bought a 32" Samsung on sale from J&R for under just $600 and have been really happy with it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I would just isolate and replace the fan.

According to some page on the Internet, I can do that by sticking something into the blades of each fan for a second to see if the noise stops? That's safe?

Typically it's like a $5.00 part.

Is there anything special to consider? I like this one. For fun. Or there are these cheaper ones. I guess I have to see what size the fan is. Do all fans have the ribbon connectors? I guess they need to get the power to run from somewhere.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yeah, the fans have very little torque. You could probably even use your finger, though a pencil is less scary.

Have people see this video of an Apple store being robbed? The thieves got in and out in under a minute with 23 laptops thanks to the mag-safe power cords:

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

any photoshop types know how to change the size of the background of the image without changing the rest of the images?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Vortex, all I can think of on the spur of the moment would be to essentially separate the two and then resize the background.

That's weird--most of the Apple stores I've been to have the computers locked with cables.
