Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

So, I was sat here going 'Damn you Apple! You're going to make me buy a Macbook just so I can get the iPhone Software Development Kit as it doesn't work on my G5, aren't you?'.

Then I googled VMware OSX from a spare Windows laptop I had kicking about. Which is now running OSX. Hee.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

WTF? netflix is eliminating the profile feature. I can't believe this shit.

They are eliminating this and just merging the data from the sub-profiles to the main profile. Why can't they export the data to a new account?

Although spending $$ on two new accounts is more $$ than two profiles on one account...

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Are they merging it into the main? I just did that myself t sigh Must have misread the email.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes. they are merging it into the main.

I don't want Beau's ratings on my account, so I may just cancel the account and start fresh like he may have to.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hey Techorinos!

The free anti-virus I've been using (AVG) is about to make me start paying them. Any suggestions (besides "a Mac") on what else I should get?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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

AVG's not making me pay--did you read all the little text?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
