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.

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 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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hivemind question cross-posted with Natter:
Has anyone read any good articles or papers or whatever on the future of mobile devices recently?

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.

So the replacement AC adpater for my HP Mini that I order through amazon arrived today. [link] It looks virtually the same as my previous adapter, except it's a two prong plug instead of a grounded three prong plug. Should I worry about this? Am I exposing my netbook (house?) to a higher risk of damage? I suspect it's a knockoff or a refurb, even though it was sold as "genuine."

Is one prong wider than the other? Do your outlets have one slot wider than the other so that the plug can only go in one way? If the answer to both questions is yes, then you've got nothing to worry about. Everything is correctly grounded.
