Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Apple care seems to be one of those warranties that's worth it--but surely that implies the hardware fails...

Still, it seems much simpler than any other program to get back into gear with--I still remember the woman who replaced my hard drive after water damage for free because she couldn't see definite signs of water damage-even though I told her what had happened.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Well, I've had the phone for almost a year and a half, and I drop it and expose it to sawdust daily, so I can't complain. Yay lifeproof case.

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

Anyone familiar with setting up a DNS server on a Windows server? (A Windows 2008 server, specifically.)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I don't venture in here very often, but I have a problem.

Either my power cord is failing or my battery is. I have a macbook pro circa 2008 and I've already replaced the power cord once for it.

Just in the last few days the cord would only glow orange, then just a few minutes ago it stopped lighting up at all.

Then the computer just went off. When I restarted it the cord is orange but the battery is reading 0. It had been reading 96% before it went off.

Now it's starting to slowly charge.

Any ideas?

I'd first check to see how your battery is doing. My light indicator on the power cord is sometimes fritzy, so I kinda ignore it. But I have had similar behavior when my battery stopped being useful and so I replaced it.

About this Mac under the apple menu-> more info-> power

Check cycle count and condition.

I'm not super techy, this is just from experience.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I went through two batteries on my Macbook before I something more front and centre broke and I ended up replacing it. I like the machines, but I'm suspicious of the power system from wall all the way inside.

aka anecdata says battery...

Mine was a refurb bought in mid-2008, so it is maybe a 2007 model? But I got the new battery for xmas 2011, I think.

Well the cycle count is 31 and the condition is Check Battery. WTF?

Ok, I have that bookmarked. I don't think I will try anything right now, since I'm heading to bed. But I will give it a try. Thanks Tom.
