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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I haven't read much about the Amazon thing, and I don't know if this makes sense....

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

I really want more desk space. What's the easiest way to let my Mac & PC share one set of peripherals?

KVM switch: [link] (many other brands available with different numbers of ports, VGA vs. DVI support, etc. But that should give you an idea of what they look like and do.)

Awesome, thanks. (Hopefully that's something IT just has lying around, because I'm pretty sure they won't want to spend any money on this...)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Has anyone done any work designing web pages optimized for the iPod Touch/iPhone?

I've got no specific pixel sizes on the pages. Everything uses percentages or, in a few cases, ems. I've got an html form that's sized to be readable. When selecting a form element like a dropdown box, the box magnifies (which is good). But after selection, the box only de-magnifies part way. The page stays slightly magnified and the only way to see the entire width of the page is to do the finger squeeze or double tap twice.

Anyone have any idea why this would happen and how to fix it?

All is well that ends in pizza.

I need convincing, folks.

I have been slowly cleaning my basement of old computers, sending some 20+ carcasses to the recyclers.

Now I'm stumped.

I own an old Macintosh II CPU. Should I recycle it?

It's not a IIvx or a IIci or any of the later modifications.

It has the original ST-277N hard drive and the original NUBUS video card.

I need to convince myself it's the right thing to do.

Help!

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

See if the Smithsonian wants it?
