Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

The status is NOT quo.

Just wanted to say that I'm very impressed with Kristin's mad tech skills. Seriously.
Thanks! I really am rather ridiculously proud of myself. I ended up having to reinstall Leopard in order to migrate my data directly and lose the dual user problem, though, so it took longer than it should have. But right now? Fully functional shiny new laptop with all of my files and preferences and bookmarks and everything.

The alarm is going to go off in four and a half hours, but I'm trying not to think about that.

Our wings are not tired

Looks like I just missed Kristin.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

AT&T is offering refurb 8G iPhones for $249. [link] Someone tell me why I don't want this.

Go you with your mad skillz, Kristin.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

So by default there's nothing free to compress in Windows, right?

Huh? XP has built in zip compression utilities. Right click --> Send to --> Compressed (zipped) Folder.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Indeed. Although I have run into XP mchines where this is not an option. I wonder if it was a SP1 thing?

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

Or maybe XP Pro/XP Home?

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

It's an option that can be turned on and off. [link]

Dumb question. My school linksys isn't letting me log onto my personal network. What's the IP address you use to find settings, again?

Thanks, Jessica. Hm. Do I have to put www first? It's not connecting for some reason.
