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 good pair of headphones for around $100?

I've always liked these: [link]

Comfortable, rugged, and sound great.

I was about to recommend the same headphones.

If you want noise canceling ones I have a pair of these and I'm pretty happy with them:

I'm pretty sure that imported Tivo files are MPEG-2 already, which means you shouldn't have to do any transcoding, just drag it into the DVD burning software and hit go.

no, they're not. When I try to do that I get an "uncompatible format" message.

Tivo files are MPEG-2, but they are in a proprietary wrapper, the software strips that wrapper off, but there isn't a needed transcoding step.

It's all very crazy and annoying.

I purchased a Seagate FreeAgent drive for the work Mac. It seems the bugger goes into energy saver mode if idle for a few minutes (not sure of time). As we are start/stop with rehearsal, there are times when the drive spins down when we want it to stay spun up. It seems to be a firmware thing, as there is a WINDOWS app that can adjust that, but no MAC app. Even though the drive says MAC on the box! There is one Seagate app, but it is for FW800 drives, and this is a USB only drive. Any thoughts that do not involve connecting to a Win machine?

All is well that ends in pizza.

My FreeAgent mac app seems to work for both firewire and usb.

Hmmm.

curious. How big is it? Any chance I can get that app from you?

Wait, it doesn't seem to have any way of setting the sleep function.

Odd.
