Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I thought the iPhone lightsaber was the most useful app...

If I could actually use it to dismember my enemies, then maybe.

Jessica, depending on your version of Outlook, this may help you.

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

An actual light saber iPhone is against the law. I blame the Enemies of Tom Scola PAC....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So um, I just installed OpenOffice and it appears to be in Portuguese. Does anyone know where the option to switch it to English would be? Or have a direct link to Open Office 3 Aqua in English?

it is as if you work at the same place I do, and think similar thoughts to mine.

Oh man. I'm laughing, but I feel for you too.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Bonnie: George Malley! You learned the Portuguese language in 20 minutes?

George Malley: Not all of it.

A site that has catalogs different blank cassette tapes sold over the years: Project C-90

113 different TDK tapes alone. I was surprised at how many I recognized - I was thinking, "I bought a case of those... ooh, I had a few of those."

But no Maxell - WTF? No wait, those are under Hitachi-Maxell. I bought cases and cases of Maxell over the years. The UD XL-II pictured here [link] brought back many memories. So did the XL II-S. Damn, I bought a lot of Maxell....

OK, I'm a geek. I used to be quite obsessive over my cassettes. I had a nice tape deck and was sure to set the levels, Dolby, bias, etc. correctly. I would record every LP and CD I bought, and usually just play the tapes. Plus while in college I'd borrow albums and record them, as there was so much cool music and not much money. I'd also make a compilation tape every few months.

anybody know of a free program that will let you do curved lines of text, like along a CD label. I had a program, but my computer crashed and I can't find the damn CD key.

Yep, lots of those, and when my budget was tight, I bought a lot of these [link] Memorex DBs) from Kmart.

One of the latter I had Sgt. Peppers on one side, and Abby Road on the other. On my drive back from California in 1991 I played that tape when I didn't have any other music in mind. For a while after I got home, I could play it in my head without the tape.

One of the Maxell tapes you show had In-a-gadda-da-vida on both sides.
