Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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

Oh, do I need a special Apple-only Firewire cable/adapter for my MacBook Pro?

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

It's a Firewire 800 connection, which is different than regular Firewire.

Oh. Thanks.

Is Firewire 800 backwards-compatible with regular Firewire devices?

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

Think the search market is saturated? Microsoft doesn't. Lifehacker discusses bing.com.

Which reminds me--what settings could be set in OS X to make web sites think I'm in Australia? My PC seems to be in the US just fine.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I heard that Wikipedia has banned the Scientologists from editing their entries - anyone know if this is true or just one of those urban legends?
