Flea, I'd guess too many links. They probably think it's spam.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'd be surprised if that was it, actually -- (for a comment, yes, possibly spam trapping, but not for a post) Hanging and timing out sounds more like it's having trouble writing to the database entry for that post (which is created as an autosave even before you post). It's usually fixed if you copy the content, start a whole new post, paste, and post that version.

I tried that, both yesterday and today, and it did not work. The new post hangs, too. WEIRD.

Okay, I got it to post. I tried posting it from the netbook, using the campus wireless network, and I used Chrome instead of Firefox. And while it wouldn't post on either of two different computers with hard internet connections, it posted on our super-ultra-flaky wireless? Whatever. It's done.

Eww, yeah, when it comes down to the flakiness of any given network, I got nothin'. Glad it finally worked for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are these MacBook Pros a new announcement?
Man, I almost wish I was back in the market for a new laptop. But this baby has been very nice to me, nicer than I've been to it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Are these MacBook Pros a new announcement?
Yes.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Pretty!

I want a new laptop. Shame mine survived the spill so well.
Actually, it's a good thing it did, or I'd already have a new laptop and be really pissed at that. As things stand, I'm merely envious, but realise that in a few years it will be better and brighter and ready for me to buy.

Ooooh. It might be time for me to retire the 6-year-old iBook...
