Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I love it when that happens. Win-win!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

MoinMoin has a free desktop wiki program: [link] which intrigues me. I could annotate EVERYTHING!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I had a very similar question to Jon's. I tried to find an answer on my own (ended up at google sites. We'll see.), but I'll take a look at those, as well.

Thanks, amy

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

I also saw wikidot.com as a free and paid hosting site.

I used to like ComputerWorld's Shark Tank as a place to read about stupid and hopefully funny things that happen in the IT world, but recently it's been pretty lame itself. I also stumbled upon The daily WTF which is simpler and less corporate, but not quite it. Does anyone know of anything similar that might satisfy that particular jones?

Huh. The Opera spell-checker suggests RTFM as an alternative for WTF. Nice to know they're profane.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is anyone else seeing a problem with Google Maps satellite view right now?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Nope, looks the same as always to me.

works for me. I'm on Firfox 3.5.5 with MacOS 10.5.8. I zoomed Dallas, and NYC. Both worked fine for me. Is it a particular area you having problems with? Or the map in general?

Any satellite map tile comes up as "We are sorry, but we don't have imagery at this zoom level for this region. Try zooming out." -- no matter what level I'm zoomed at.

I'm going to assume that it's a problem with my work's web proxy.
