Do you still have any Windows 95/98 computers? If not, then toss 'em.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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

No, I don't. Any of you people with ancient computer collections need them?
Related question: I have 6 zip disks. I no longer have a zip drive. They contain a five- or six-year-old backup, so it's possible that there's something sensitive in there. Hulk smash?

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

Ginger, I believe the solution is probably staring you right in the eyes. Or the knees, rather, if I remember someone's stature correctly.

That will lead to a whole different sort of data dump.

Can I share my geek find of the day? It's an email obfuscator that uses PHP to generate a random cipher of your email address. It then dynamically generates javascript with the decryption key, making it extremely difficult for bots to harvest the address. Neat!

Does anyone know if a disk recorded in m4a will play on regular CD players? It plays fine in my car, but I don't have another CD player to test it on. I'm on a MAC and giving GarageBand a trial run.
Thanks!

What do you mean "recorded in m4a"? Are you creating an audio CD, or a data CD with mp3/m4a audio tracks on it? If it's the former, it should play on anything, since there's no way to tell what format the audio files were in before they were converted to the audio CD format.

It's an audio CD and you're saying that it will play on any kind of player. Thanks, that's a great help. GarageBand gave me the option of exporting the podcast to disk but since I've only recorded from AIFF files in the past and know nothing about m4a, I wanted an expert opinion. I certainly didn't want to make and send out a bunch of disks that wouldn't play on people's CD players.
Again, thanks.
