Jessica, if no gurus show up soon, search on OS X force quit. I can't remember the key combo.
Jayne: Anybody remember her comin' at me with a butcher's knife? Wash: Wacky fun.

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

Thanks ita. Have the drugs kicked in yet?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Tried that, still beachballing. Argh, nevermind, I'll just use the power button.

They've quit and unquit a couple times now. I hate hospital.

Does anybody have any recommendations for a good cordless phone? Our old ones were crapping out, and we replaced them with a Uniden phone/answering machine combo. From day one, this phone has performed like complete and utter crap. The handset has had terrible reception, and many times when we make or receive calls, the person on the other end is almost inaudible, especially if they are on certain kinds of business multi-line phones (the ones used in hospitals, in particular).
We need a new, good, cordless phone. Somebody please help.

We bought this [link] in January 2006, and it's been pretty much fine (they don't make that specific one anymore, but you could look at the brand). It's a little wonky when we're talking with my mother's cordless phone for some reason. But, you know, cheap. I used the ratings/comments at Amazon to choose.

I appear to have solved my Safari crashing problems on my iPhone for now by powering off the iPhone completely and booting it back up. That's - hold down the sleep button for ten seconds and follow the slide prompt to kill the power, then hold the sleep button again to restart the thing.
It's also possible to kill all open browser windows by holding the main button for about 5 seconds, but it doesn't always fix the problem.
Strangeness I've seen includes the inability to click text boxes to type, iPod music stopping whilst surfing (that one is a constantly reoccuring bug and is Really Annoying) and the unit hanging once whilst trying to reply to an email. They're not end-of-the-world bugs, as restarting only takes 30 seconds - but I've only had the thing a week now and I've noticed all these things. It's like using Windows.

I'm lusting after a flat-screen monitor, but I'm wondering if my Matrox Graphics Millennium G200 AGP video card can handle it. Are flat-screens fussy about what systems they work with?
