Thanks. PCs all round. I'll give her the bad news.

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

Thanks, LeN. I'll send it to her.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Belatedly - I've used Tokbox for multi-person video conferencing. Free for up to 20 people at once:
Mac or PC only. It is an active X control, so you have to accept active X. You need your sound and video properly set up before you connect. It can kind of guess if you don't but mostly it depends on you to have your system default to the right hardware. If everything is right (and mostly if you have web cam your defaults are right and you are good to go). it creates a URL for the conference and you send the URL to whoever you want on the conference. Pretty much foolproof as long as everyone is on a Mac or PC and as long as everyone has everything set up right. (I've actually gotten it to work on Linux, but it is not supported.)

I'll give that to them as a backup, TB.
I went into Swivel search on my TiVo, and it seems to have been updated--I opted in and it's let me do some stuff more like what was described for the S4 search. It was able to automatically construct a wishlist search for an episode that's not up in the next couple weeks, and that's the only thing on the search description I was really missing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone familiar with Microsoft's IIS Server? We've got a webpage that runs a stored procedure that takes about four or five minutes. But the server just returns an error 500 (due to, I assume, something timing out).
On our development server, I just had to change the connection timeout (in IIS) to get around the problem, but this doesn't work on our client's production server. (Our development server has a later version of IIS.)
eta: Nebber mind - it turned out to be the .asp page timing out, which is fixable.

What Do You Suggest? is a site that lets you visually explore how Google Suggest autocompletes a query. "What Do You Suggest takes a seed from you, then guides you on a journey through language and the collective lives of Google users."
It's cool - it shows a bunch of autocomplete options, with the thickness of the line indicating how many matches you'd get for each branch.
