Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Isn't it just the 3Doodler, but a little smaller?

All is well that ends in pizza.

If anyone runs into a working motherboard for a Dell Inspiron 1545 for under $20 let me know. I'm randomly checking eBay and Craigslist, but you never know.

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

I gave my sister my Galaxy Nexus phone that I bought internationally, and it won't recognise a Jamaican SIM. I bought it internationally because of the lock question--what could be stopping it? Would the fact that she used the SIM in an old style Blackberry be relevant?

I am thinking this is something she needs to chase down in JA, though. It shouldn't be a phone problem...

(Her BB connects to TMobile (my provider) seamlessly when she's here. I don't know.)

Hey. New board.

Near as I can tell, there's no reason it shouldn't work. My guess is it's something with the SIM, not the phone.

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

She's tried 2 separate account SIMs now (one not BB), so I told her to take it to her provider.

Would any folks with TomTom around these parts be interested in the news that Brian Blessed's voice is now available for the service? [link]

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

That's kind of awesome - my current GPS persona is called Karen (by me, I can't remember what TomTom named her), but she hasn't got even a smidgen of his personality. Might be time for an upgrade...

Does anybody know -- if you have a paper subscription to the New Yorker, does it include the electronic version?

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

Yes.

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

I may have found my One True OS X Text Editor: Atom

A hackable text editor for the 21st Century

At GitHub, we're building the text editor we've always wanted. A tool you can customize to do anything, but also use productively on the first day without ever touching a config file. Atom is modern, approachable, and hackable to the core. We can't wait to see what you build with it.

Atom is a desktop application based on web technologies. Like other desktop apps, it has its own icon in the dock, native menus and dialogs, and full access to the file system.

Open the dev tools, however, and Atom's web-based core shines through. Whether you're tweaking the look of Atom's interface with CSS or adding major features with HTML and JavaScript, it's never been easier to take control of your editor.

OS X only for now. They're gonna have versions for Windows (and Linux?) eventually.
