Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Help again!

I put a blank DVD in the drive, pressed ignored when it asked me what I wanted to do, and now there's no icon on the desktop so I can't eject it, and I can't figure out how to burn something.

Being an IT professional who suddenly doesn't have a clue what he's doing is distressing.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Did you press the eject key?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hit f12, for two seconds.

Unfortunately it seems to be remapped to Dashboard on my mac.

Unbent paper clip, if you have the little hole...?

it is on all macs, daniel, but the fn (function) key makes the command work.

There's an eject key? I didn't even realise. At work at the moment so I'll fiddle when I get home. Thanks all!

Is that a Tiger change? Hmmm.

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

I know there's not supposed to be a codec issue on Macs, so I'm not sure why QT balked at so much.

I love Growl. My father hated it, because up came a window he couldn't click on. However the idea that while I'm typing fast it's okay to give a new window the focus is crank-making to me. I hate when typing hits the combo of keys that makes a command decision on the popup and then dismisses it.

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

I can't remember if I had to install the Xvid/Divx codecs separately or not to play torrents in QT. (I normally burn everything to DVD and play it on the TV, so it doesn't come up that often.)

The only codec I installed with quicktime was the wmv support. Weird.
