Except that the security guard didn't do anything once the thieves indicated that they were carrying guns.

For some people Apple loyalty only goes so far.

aha! thank you! I knew that it was a simple thing. this is what happens when you learn a program by trial and error.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

We have started the learning process for the transition from our crappy e-mail server-provider to GoogleApps! Squee! Of course, the first round of video's is about dealing with Microsoft Exchange, and exporting contacts and calendar. As a Mac user, doesn't really apply to me. But it is fun to see how crazy it is. You'd think Google would write a widget that would run an exe file to automate the tasks.

AT&T responds to iPhone MMS hoopla with a video explaining why they are delayed in letting iPhones do MMS: [link]

What they don't answer for me is, how come OTHER AT&T phones can MMS, but the iPhone can't?

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

Okay, my prime suspect for the fucked-up fan is indeed the fucked-up fan. It's clearly dying; I can stop it with a pencil and the noise stops and the noise returns as soon as it starts up.

I measured it, and it looks to be 90 mm. Do I have to get a fan with the same dimensions? I figure I do or else the screws won't be in the right place, right? I found one on Newegg for three bucks that looks just like the piece of crap that's in my computer already, so hey.

I'm 99% certain it's not CAN'T, but MUSTN'T BE ALLOWED TO.

The strain on the data structure for AT&T because of the various iPhones is enormous. MMS would make it melt down. I'm almost certain - but not QUITE (because, after all, I can't know, not being a decision-maker at AT&T) - that this is a totally-artificial excuse.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It is, and you know why? Because every picture I *would* be sending via MMS, I send now via email or ShoZu instead. The pixels are still being transferred over the EXACT SAME NETWORK. The data load excuse is a good one for why 5 bars sometimes means no reception. It is BULLSHIT for MMS.

yes, that is apparently why there's been such a problem with getting voicemail
