@sundogplanets Have you ever had the joy of bottle feeding one? It's adorable.

@jonathankoren @beka_valentine I saw her at a conn once where she was asking this kid what his least favorit villain was, he said the borg. She was like "Yeah, but not because they were boring, right? You wanted to get 'em, didn'tcha? Yeah. Good man. Dismissed."

National treasure.

Bit of a long shot but I’m looking (again!) for a Mac OS9 driver for the FW iSight webcam. It was not supported until OSX by Apple. But IOXperts did a beta driver that I'm guessing does support it (I think!). Unfortunately archive.org does not archive FTP and that's the only links I can find. I've been through all the other drivers and it's just “iSight1.1b26.sit” that I cannot find. I've just spent an hour trawling through Hotline servers with no luck! https://web.archive.org/web/20080623093642/http://lists.ioxperts.com/pipermail/video-beta-discuss/2003-October/000015.html

For your information, candles do not like being burned. It causes them extreme pain. So the next time you see a candle, snip the wick. It's the humane thing to do.

@Floppy @rgarner Provolone?
