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.

Perkins,
I think Diane Riehm had a radio show on this topic earlier this year.
you might want to search gizmodo or engadget and see if you can come up with something. Oh! Wired too.
