For some reason I thought they came in assorted colors. I was sure I'd seen a red one. Oh well. I don't want one anyway. Those grapes are probably sour.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I wonder if Stephen Colbert got one? I loved his review of his non-existent one, especially when he pointed out that it weighed hardly anything....

Our wings are not tired.
Does anyone know anything about boosting cell signal? I'm headed to the Adirondacks tomorrow and cell phone coverage is dismal. There is one tower 6 miles away and no others anywhere near. My son spent a lot of time on the roof last summer texting and I was able to get a weak signal in the driveway. The middle of the lake is a bit better. Other than that not so much.
There seem to be a lot of products that boost the signal of the phone itself and a number of antenna solutions, but I have gone blind trying to figure out what is hype and what is fact. It wouldn't make sense to pay more than putting a land line in, but having my cell would be a big help.

The truth is that all most all of the antenna boosters are hype. Your phone would need a power boost and that is regulates by the FCC.

The hype says that phones are X power by default and you can boost them to the Y max that the FCC allows. I'll check with the Sprint people. It is mostly for my son's text addiction. But there is always the roof for him.
I use the ip phones, but sometimes they are crazy noisy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Perian 1.0 is available. This is likely the only QuickTime plugin you will ever need.

Hey. New board.
This is likely the only QuickTime plugin you will ever need.
Combined with the WMV plugin anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good and free U3 password manager? SignupShield only seems to manage web passwords--I want a PC version of Keyring.

I've never used it, but there's this.

It's weird. I don't want to install a trial version of anything, because I don't want to spend the time typing in the info and then redoing it for an app I actually settle on.
Which is kinda dumb.
And I realise that I'm a bit leery of typing my passwords into a third party apps whose innards might not be trustworthy. Which is kinda dumb too.
Having recognised the dumb, thanks--I'll give that app a shot.
