If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Thanks for all the U-Verse beta, folks. I think I will have to remain chaste and just get internet and phone. Can't afford fancy tv service now also. I do still have a digital-analog converter box, which I can probably rig again in-line with my Series 2 Tivo and get some SD use out of the Tivo.

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

Suffice it to say, the birthday gift arrived late, but arrived, and Amazon did refund nearly my entire purchase price of the items - I think it was because I am a Prime member and this was marked as a gift.

I'm kind of surprised by it all. But I must admit that this is one of the best customer service experience I have ever had.

That's awesome, le nubian! I have had...inconsistent customer service with Amazon.

Are there any PowerPoint mavens here? Is there a way to set the slide to advance after your last animation finishes? I can only see options for advancing On Mouse Click and Automatically After X Seconds.

Ooh, never mind, I think I figured out a better way to do it. I am awesome.

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

I am awesome.

Yes you are!

ION, Don't Hit F1 in Windows If a Web Site Asks You To

Microsoft has announced a scripting vulnerability affecting Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 users using Internet Explorer. A dialog pop-up that convinces the user to hit F1, the commonly known "Help" button, could then run code on the machine, which would lead to, well, all kinds of unfortunate things. A patch will arrive, but in the meantime, let no web site direct you to call for help.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

They must be rolling out something that screws it up, because it just stopped working for me.

The digital video cable I bought from the Apple store is bad. Will they exchange it if I have the receipt but can't find all the packaging? (I bought it on 2/20/10.)

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

I've installed Star Contact for Android OS. It is an improvement on the standard in that the search is better, but not great. It doesn't seem to search company names.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Are you still on the contacts tab, with its T9-style pad? When I switch to the search tab, search by company is the first selection in the pick-list, and it works okay for me.
