Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Some enterprising hackers have been known to make Apple TVs into dual (and more) boot Macs. [link]

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

Thanks, Tom, fuel for the next debate with myself.

I have apparently forgotten my account name on my iMac after years of logging in automatically. At least I'm not calling tech support and demanding someone fix it.

So iTunes has suddenly decide not to recognize my iPod. When I plug in the iPod, it gets the "do not disconnect" sign on it, and the computer bleeps, but there's no iPod on the iTunes interface and it's not actually updating.

And yes, it's iTunes, because it doesn't recognize either of my iPods, with different USB cords.

Anyone got any ideas? I'd rather not update iTunes because the last time I did that, I lost all my playlists...

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 keep forgetting - anyone here use ASP .Net?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I do. Sometimes.

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

I have to take a DataList control and have an "export to Excel" option. But I found this page [link] that discusses various approaches, so I think I'm good. Hopefully.

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

I love how serious the explanations are.

I read about this soon after it was invented. It's nice to see that significant progress continues to be made....
