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

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

Anyone been paying attention to Psystar and their selling of OS X on non-Apple hardware? They make noises like it's legit, and tout their better value, but System Update is broken. That's mighty sensible.
Finally got my Powerbook back from the shady repair place, and had to listen while they condescended to me and explained themselves very patiently. I had to laugh when the guy was trying to explain file permissions to me, because he couldn't actually remember "execute." Still, a point I didn't want to ask him because I'd been there way too long already--why should we be repairing permissions in OS X periodically? How are they something that drift?
Gud, BTW, the Powerbook sees Blaise as being in MSHOME and not Velvet too. I'm gonna fiddle more on the weekend.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
ok, first reaction was : WANT. Second was: you REALLY need white walls then. And forget about the popcorn ceilings. If I had that cool, open floor plan- loftish place, that would totally make sense. And if it has a speaker built into it, and it can play the iPod, it'd be a neat party trick, to have roving music.
Any idea on price? Or is it "if you have to ask, you can't afford" deals?

How random and seemingly pointless is that? I can telnet into my TiVo. I feel compelled to write something in Perl to take advantage of that.

That is pretty cool. I can use telnet to have my TiVo record something, or change the channel. Because... it just is.

It in Tivo now because high end home theatre intalls use Crestron and AMX controllers which are somewhat built around RS232 and now Telnet control of devices. I could control Tivo from an SFX machine.
