But only if you're man enough.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I feel old-fashioned, but as much as I like the epaper folio cover, part of me screams MAGNETS!!!! AIEEEE!!!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Without a hard drive, it should run a whole lot less hot.
But I wouldn't discount the heatsink factor altogether.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I searched this thread and I couldn't find an answer to this question. I'm thinking about buying a new laptop in 2-8 months and I am going over the question: mac or pc?
If I decide to get a mac, is there a website or something that can give me info on what kind of software I may need to buy for the mac that is seen as "must haves?"
Does firefox work well on the mac (because I probably use that software app more than any other)? I can get Office through work I figure if macbooks don't come loaded with it.
How much of a pain is it to move pc files over to a mac?
are there accessories I need if I go the macbook route?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've got a MacBook. I was playing around with iChat today, and now, even though I shut down all the programs that were using the iSight, the little green light next to it is still on. I shut down and restarted the computer, and the light is still on. How do I shut the camera off? The help menu was entirely unhelpful.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I've been using Firefox for over a year on a Mac, and I loves it.
They've got a whole section on moving from PC to Mac. I don't recall it being particularly painful when I did it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
They've - meaning Mac?

How do you guys work cable management? Under my desk in the bedroom I have cables for the cable modem, my router, two PCs and their keyboards and other various peripherals.
I just got a Roomba (go dork me) and although I should have organised that crap a long time ago it's too chancy to leave that imbroglio where robotics can try and swallow it.
Cable management has come up as part of my project at work, and the solutions that made it to the final round were this strange sort of velcro (if you try and tug it apart laterally, like you were trying to expand from the inside, it's really strong. But it peels off itself very easily), open-sided plastic hooks, and this 'hanging basket' from Ikea. I'm not in love with the idea of screwing anything to my desk, but we'll see.
Do you guys manage your cables?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah. meaning Mac.
