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

Huh. My iPod somehow had its HD frelled and it couldn't be repaired. So I had to reformat and now I'm transferring 103 GB of stuff back to it.
I wonder what happened... perhaps my cat triggered an EMP while I was at work....
eta: Bah. Reformat didn't fix the problem. Time for a new 160 GB iPod classic.
Weird - my iPod classic that died never actually ran out of disk space.

Anyone ever replace an iPod HD? I can get a 160 GB HD for $180 here: [link] Anyone know of a cheaper source?
A new 160 GB iPod is $249. Hmmm....
eta: And will a 160 GB HD fit if the iPod originally came with 120 GB?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Good lord. One group of users at work just asked us to get a price quote for a server with 1TB of RAM.
That's not a typo.

Yeah but if those guys get a server with 1TB of RAM they get at least 1024 geek points.

Hey. New board.
Border's was already stocking the Sony readers in-store, but I guess this is a new attempt to compete.
The Kobo is nice-looking, but reviews of the interface have been mixed at best. And the inability to buy books directly on the device (no WiFi or cell antenna) marks it down for me. Before actually using one I wouldn't have though that was such a big deal, but the convenience of being able to buy a book anywhere without a cord is impossible to give up, now that I've had it.
Still, more competition = more better, so go them.
(I dropped my Kindle and lost the screen, sadly. Toyed with the idea of getting another reader, but the only one with the Kindle features I want is the Nook, and the glowy screen at the bottom feels weird in my peripheral vision, though otherwise the reader feels excellent in hand.)
