I did put it on rice. I'ma wait another 24-48 hours before I flip it back over and try to turn it on. I am the world's worst at delaying gratification and so the wait is KILLING me.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have an Android g2 question. The new email notification doesn't work usefully. It tells me the total number of unread messages,, which is reasonable, but it also insists I have new mail if there are an any left unread. Which there always are. The phone before defined new mail as mail received since the last time I checked the inbox. Googling finds me with some people complaining if the problem, but not as many a I'd have expected, and no suggested fixes.
Anyone here know anything about it?

What is Python 2.6.2? From my quick Google, it looks like a programming language, but I don't do programming, and I don't know why it's on my computer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, it's a programming language, and it comes with Apple computers. I think it's used to run install scripts and stuff like that.

So if I remove it from my PC, it probably won't hurt anything?

You might have an app that runs on it. Unless it is running on start up and eating memory cycles I would not remove it. And even then I might just remove it from startup.

Ah, well, my impetuosity got the better of me. We'll see what crashes after it finishes uninstalling.
edit: What I should really uninstall is The Sims Complete, but I keep thinking I'm going to play it.

Hopefully nothing will crash.
