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!

Thank you, megan walker, you've saved me from the embarrassment of having my Editor in Chief see a saucy Benedict on my desktop. (If he'd asked me if that was my boyfriend, I was totally gonna say yes.)
We don't want another "spik-el-oost" situation!
In other positive tech news, not only will dropping cable save me $50+/month over the next year (even with upgrading my DSL, switching to Netflix streaming with 1DVD, and adding HuluPlus), but it turns out by not using the cable box I can finally watch 1 channel while taping another.
ETA: spik-el-oost x-post!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I do! Sometimes just for fun I say "spik-el-oost" and LAUGH.

Hee. When I started at my last company, I was still very amused by that, and somehow ended up using "pikelust" (minus the S??) with a number on the end as one of my passwords.
Turned out that was the one password you couldn't change (most made us change every 90 days). I had it for four whole years.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
MacBook Pro fragrance reproduces the scent of an Apple unboxing
Never in a million years would I have thought someone would want to bottle up the "scent" of a MacBook Pro unboxed. Sure enough, three Australian artists have recreated a fragrance that replicates a fresh MacBook Pro being opened.

Dude, I just installed Wordpress all by myself, with only one mistake. (Yes, it's easy, shut up.)
Go me!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Rock on, Dana!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
