Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Just grabbed a trial version to, well, try. Thanks! An early warning would have been nice when the last laptop suddenly lost its motherboard.

Laptop goes in Friday afternoon. Hopefully there is a quick, "This is how much money we want and this is when we will give you your computer back."

Hey. New board.

Gris, I still cannot get over your bidet purchase. I just don't know.

Try it. It won't exactly change your life, but it will make you favor that toilet over all other toilets.

Thank you Amazon, it was on my doorstep when I got home. Gotta love Amazon Prime!

I downloaded a music video from Youtube for Dylan to put on his iPod, and the damn thing will not sync. Granted, this was not strictly a legal download, but I've done it before without any problems - any ideas?

The "Create iPod version" option is nowhere in sight, but I'm not sure if that's iTunes 11 or if it means this is already compatible. It's a regular H.264 mp4 file, exactly like every other video on this device.

Got it, ARGH. Stupid device.

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

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

What was the porn content of Geocities?

Am I misremembering, or did Gmail used to have a "Save to Docs" option for attachments? It seems supremely stupid that I have to download this PDF and re-upload it in order to get it from Gmail to Drive. (There is a Chrome extension for this, but the current release notes say Google disabled it. WTF?)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If you "View" the attachment you get a button to "Add to Drive"
