Also annoying? None of the iPod games work with the iPhone.
How can such an awesome new toy be so sad-making?
I guess I'll just have to comfort myself with the fact that I have a new iPhone, and the best boss in the Universe.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Well, we got NoiseDesign's Powerbook today.
Andi and I had just gotten home from going out for lunch when I stayed outside to bring the empty trash can from the curb.
A fedex truck pulls up, the guy gets out and I say, "Good timing." He hands me the box and I ask "no signature?" "No," he responds.
I'm a bit nervous about the potential for misdirection of packages "Some guy jumped out of a truck and handed me this laptop!"
I finish my outside chore and check the oil on Andi's car and top it off, then head inside.
Andi is up taking a nap before work already so I thought it was a good time to start migrating tings from her old iBook.
Migration Assistant is a wonderful thing, but it only does local disks or through Firewire.
...and I forgot my last Firewire A-A cable at my sister Jean's with my iPod.
50 miles away.
Crud.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One of my co-workers is insisting I use an HTTP-compliant file editor to edit a web page. No direct file system access to the files, no FTP.
I have never heard of this stuff. Popular method of accessing files?

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 don't know how popular that is, but it's an option while using MS Visual Studio .Net (letting you create and edit asp, etc. files on a web server without file system access. No, I don't think ftp is an option.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is he talking about WebDAV?
There's also the Atom Publishing Protocol, which was just published as an RFC last week. Nobody has implemented it yet, but it could become a big deal in the future.

She just said HTTP, and said that MS Expression uses it. I don't have MS Expression and don't want to learn it, and really like being a curmudgeon.
I wonder how it's managing permissions, then. AD? Over HTTP?

Almost certainly WebDAV. Try these instructions and see what happens.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I find implications that UltraEdit should support WebDAV if it's configured in My Network Places, but when I do create the network place, I can't even browse and see a file I'm told I have access to. I can't believe this is all because I fixed some JS code (which I hate) on a website I don't want to work on.

So how does one get album cover art for CDs one already owns into iTunes?
