Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Microsoft Offering Free Domain Name and Hosting for One Year
Microsoft Office Live Small Business is a web hosting service that gives you a domain name (any available .com, .net, .org, or .info), email, business management tools, collaboration tools, and more, for a surprising price tag: $0.
Despite the Small Business moniker, the service doesn't appear to be limited only to businesses—meaning you could probably use the service as a personal site (as CNET suggests). Check in with the Microsoft Office Live Small Business video tour for a closer look at what you can expect if you decide to sign up. The service is free for one year, after which you'll need to pony up a still-reasonable $15/year.

The onion video button just kinda spins. Does not play for me. Disabling flashblock does not help. Firefox 3.06. Works fine on IE.

OK, upgraded by flash player. I had ten, but apparently needed 10.something

Because books.
Is anyone having problems with Gmail? Several times a day over the last month I've been getting an "unresponsive script" error, and I have to log out and back in, and sometimes even restart.
I have a PC running Windows XP, and use the latest update of Firefox.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm pretty sure the "unresponsive script" message results from Firefox deciding that some Javascript has been running for a long time. i.e. the script may still be running; it's just taking a long time. Do you have the option of allowing it to continue? If so, that's what it is. It might just be that you have a slow computer, or it might be that Javascript is taking a long time (for whatever reason) to finish downloading all your mail or something.

Well, the computer is getting long in the tooth. And low on disk space. I think I found something in the Gmail discussion groups, too.
Thanks, tommy!

Does anyone have any experience with/fondness for/hatred of Ubuntu? I'll be inheriting my dad's laptop, and he currently has Vista on it. This seems like a golden opportunity to dip my toes into Linux. But I'm a little confused by the various distributions.

Hey. New board.
Nobody't mentioned the new kindle, right?
Very thin. A little prettier, though I kind of liked the ugly-clunky actually. I wonder how it works ergonomically.
Read-to feature could be useful very occasionally, and I have to laugh at all the people mourning the loss of the replaceable battery, just like at Apple a while ago. I don't really care about the removable media either - 1500 is a LOT of books, especially since anything I buy from Amazon is backed up online (and redownloadable directly from the device).
Otherwise, basically looks like the same thing. Which is one of my favorite things, so that's good. If I hadn't lost mine, I doubt I'd be itching to buy one, but I'm having to physically restrain myself.
