I'm beginning to think it's my employer's firewall that's the problem; I was able to send a file to a friend in the UK later that day without difficulty, but this morning I still can't beam my coworker anything.

I've been trying to use this to send my co-worker files. Can't even send him a 1.9MB file without it disconnecting halfway through. And, since their help is non-existent (save for a contact email address), there's no way to know what's going on.

I've used Twuffer ([www.twuffer.com)] before for the same purpose, although it only works for Twitter. But since all my tweets automatically go to FB as status updates, that's not a problem.

Not a big surprise - when we had our baby, the bottle warmer instructions recommended occasionally cleaning out limescale from the warmer with vinegar & H2O.

Have you considered "Be seeing you?"

I don't put bread in the fridge because it keeps it fresh. I put bread in the fridge because my college dorm had a roach problem and it didn't take long for paranoia to set in.

I only own a "feature phone," not a smartphone, so please help me out: what's "tethering?"

Allowed tech to pass him by? Hardly - the man is on Twitter constantly, and has been on the forefront of recommending higher-tech projection in theaters for a long time. He just thinks the 3D rarely adds much - he makes exceptions; he did commend the 3D in Avatar - and unavoidably dims the light values reaching the…

I'm a college math teacher, and I always recommend to my students that they read the material in the textbook *before* we cover it in class. When it comes to highly conceptual stuff, it's best if you're not hearing it for the first time and going "Huh?" while your instructor's moving on.

I'd never heard of Synfig. Does it handle typefaces well?

If my plan works, this would indeed become a regular thing. I'll keep Fireworks in mind, though - thanks!

I'm looking for a simple animation app - I'd like to be able to animate text + basic lines and shapes, maybe with some squash and stretch, and superimpose that on top of video. Free is best, inexpensive is also good. :-) Any suggestions, other than a large product like Flash?

"Long have we accepted?" I love how self-righteousness influences grammatical choices.

Well, they certainly made a pretty one.
