The GINA link made me wonder: how light can using a space frame and nonstructural covering make a car? I mean spaceframes in cars are not new. The Audi aluminum intensive car uses one. But I gather that most of the weight savings comes from the use of aluminum, not from the space saving. Assume the covering weights close to nothing. How heavy is a space frame strong enough to provide full protection equal to a conventional car with a crumple zone? Anyone enough of a car geek to answer this one?
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

I'm confused about something. Last week, as some of you might know, I picked up a trojan. During all the stuff tech guy had to do to clean it up,he mentioned there were still exe. type files floating around in it somewhere, and the best way to be really sure we got everything might be to back up my files, wipe stuff clean, and reinstall. I trust him, but that is also likely to run into $$. What would you do, if you were me?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
meara, if you're on a Mac, and on a network (wired or not, just not phone line), normally you have to get Roxio Toast, but TiVodecode is available for free.

If there are still exes floating around,he is probably right. Do you trust him trust him? Or trust him "you never had reason to distrust him, but don't really know if he is trustworthy or not".
A thought: before you give up and reformat, can you boot into safe mode and have him talk you through getting rid of the leftovers?

I am brave. I just downloaded/installed FireFox 3 on what I think is the first day. In my 5 minutes of use, it has a slightly different look to it, and seems a bit zippier.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I've been using the latest release candidate...seems the same to me.
heh.
As usual, you can customize Firefox 3 massively. Sometimes too much.
The default look and feel are supposed to be more OS-specific.
Oh, and click this [link]

So.
New Mac 10.5.3 Airport driver update that I just installed? Finally fixed printing.
Printer control center and desktop widget still can't see the printer over the network, but I can print again, and don't have to hunt down each and every driver writer at Apple and Brother and personally thwap them.
