Can anyone recommend a reliable, cheap place to buy a power adapter for a HP netbook? Name brand cords are $50-60,and I've already had to replace it once.

Flashing back to the $100+ cord I had to buy from Radio Shack. (But mine had died! And it was New Years Day!)
It did have nifty little adapter nubs so that you can use the same cord with pretty much any variety of laptop or a bunch of other electronics by switching out the tip.

Heh, well I think I bought the first replacement for $40 (on sale.) so I hope it will not come to $100 all-purpose cord.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I have bought so many replacement ac adapters of varying price levels for one computer in the last 18 months. The iGo lasted a couple months, so I almost recommend that one, because I think it was around $50. I don't have faith that a $40 will work. I am right now on my second $90 Targus.

I've found some with potential on Amazon.ca. The ones on .com had crazy shipping to Canada. ($15 shipping on a $17 adapter.)

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

So, don't install "MacProtector" if you have the option.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I did have that pop up, but Sophos caught it and I was able to remove. It was the first time in over 15 years of Mac use that I got anything.

Javascript-based PC emulator, running GNU/Linux
Fabrice Bellard has written a 32 bit x86 emulator in Javascript -- in plain English, he's created a virtual PC that runs inside your browser, using Javascript. And then (of course), he created a GNU/Linux variant that can run inside it -- so you can run a full-featured PC inside your browser. It's a pretty fabulous hack and has far-reaching implications: for example, you could theoretically run any program or OS inside your browser, even if you're using a locked-down platform that won't let you change the OS or install your own programs. And then there's stuff like installing MAME in a virtual browser machine, so that you can play all/any retrogames.
Go to bellard.org/jslinux to run it. It's rather slow, but whadaya expect?
