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!
Bonnie: I just bought a domain name on Sedo and it was a fairly good experience.
Thanks Una. Another friend recommended SEDO as well. I'm doing to give it a look today because this godaddy thing is out of control. I like having all my stuff in one place, but when that place is such a pain, it's not worth it.
I shouldn't totally damn gd, I've had good experiences with them in the past. Still, any new product they offer...in this case domain sales...just seems to cause more problems than it is worth.
Their customer service people are generally pretty good, but, for some reason, regular tech folk cannot access auction functions and that division is a 'no phone zone.' Email only support? Feh.
if I claim it now for GV, what happens?
I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you using Google Voice now? GV will let you transfer an existing phone number so that it becomes your GV number. They charge a fee for that. But most people either give out their regular cell number and have voicemail forwarded to GV, or they give out their GV number and have it forward to their cell (still having GV's voicemail pick up if there's no answer). Which are you doing/would like to do?
Vortex,
Do you own the number or does work? If you own it then you can move it to GV.
I am sorry to hear about RIF.
I just installed Chrome (which I like!), but I was wondering one thing -- when I go to copy text, here for instance, if I'm far enough up on the page, the highlighting goes to flush left, making it look like I'm also copying links from the lefthand side of the page. They don't paste with the other text, but is that a bug or a design flaw?
It just looks wrong to me.
I have noticed that with Chrome, too. The other thing it sometimes does is if I am typing in a box and there is wrapping text, and the last "letter" before the wrap would be a space, it refuses to believe in the space, and writes the two words togetherlikethis, and brings them both to the next line. Bizarre!
Huh. It seems like something that would be so easy to fix for developers, it's surprising Google's left it that way. Thanks, meara.
If anyone finds a really god deal on a PATA/IDE laptop (2.5in) HDD, let me know, Andi's Powerbook Hdd is starting to sound loud, and the best deal I can find is some $65 120GB ones.
I just want to give her some more storage internally. She has an 80, but it's nearly full, too.
Geeks.com has some decent deals on IDE laptop drives.

In order to pay our nanny legally, I'm going to need to either sign up with a payroll service or download some payroll software. Anyone have anything to recommend? We're a Mac house, so Nannypay won't work for us (boo).
is this what you need? you might need to call to ask if this fits your situation
