It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

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

Glargh.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 on my new PC. It gets not that far and then I see:
Out of Range
Horizontal Frequency: 81.4 KHz
Vertical Frequency: 65.0 KHz
This is a monitor (Viewsonic VX2000) error, not a computer one.
I installed Ubuntu server without a hitch, but wanted to use Desktop for right now.
But the message pops up and even the buttons on my monitor stop working, so I can't switch over to digital to show my main PC's images.
Anyone have any idea how to work around it?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Well, it is a software issue, as the server works. The resolution on the desktop mode is set outside of the parameters the monitor accepts.
I do not know ubuntu, so I found this from a ubuntu forum:
I think your xorg.conf is messed up. To reconfigure it, start up in normal mode when you get to the black screen, press CTRL + ALT + F1 to get into a login shell. Input your user/pass and press enter, you'll then get an input terminal, type this into there. :sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and go through the options.
Once done, type:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
If that one fails, you could try :
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -foninteractive xserver-xorg
Which will try to set it up automatically by detecting the values from your hardware.
Then do the sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop/start thing again.

I don't have one--this message comes up during the installation. I'm going to try installing from the Alternate CD and jiggle the video commands there. Hopefully this 6.10 fix is still applicable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What/when is the next big Apple event, when they might introduce new products?
I need a new iPod. There was a rumor site that had a rumor that the new iPod would have touch-screen controls like the iPhone. Apple asked them to take the story down. So maybe it's true?
Any rumors about bigger HDs in new iPods?

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

There's no event scheduled, but there are lots of rumors that Apple will update the iPod soon (they haven't updated it in a couple of years). And if they're going to update it, they would have to do it soon (say, by the end of September) if they're going to have something ready for Christmas.

Speak of the devil....
ThinkSecret reports that Apple is prepping an update to their full-size iPod that could arrive in the "first-half of August".
ThinkSecret believes that the iPod will not feature a touch-screen or a scaled down version of OS X until 2008. Instead, they believe that the new iPod is somewhat shorter than existing iPods but will maintain the current screen and click wheel. If true, this would correlate with a recent mockup posted to 9to5mac.
The saved space will shrink about an inch off the device and give it proportions that in some ways more resemble a BlackBerry.
They also confirm that the recently leaked iPod inteface videos will be used for the upcoming 6G iPod's interface.
