Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, help! I'm setting up my new (very lovely, thanks for the advice, 'ffistas) laptop. I finally got it cooperating nicely with my home wireless network. So now I'm setting up profiles.

Thunderbird claims that it automatically imports from Mozilla profiles without me having to do anything. It did this just fine for the first (of four) profile I set up. For the second one (and all subsequent ones) it doesn't offer me the wizard, and when I try to import, it doesn't offer me Mozilla as one of the options I can import from.

Any ideas?

If I only had a brain...

DAMN. My TiVo recorded the amazing race instead of LOST. Where can I find torrents nowadays?

I almost made the same mistake (I had TAR7 as a higher priority season pass, never expecting a conflict) but remembered to check my to-do list because I'm running out of room on my Tivo. If you can't get it via torrent, let me know and I can copy it to disc.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well, tvtorrents.tv, actually. Or btefnet.com, org, net, info...

DCJ, that's a different site (which you might already know). I like the one I mentioned because it's simple to navigate and it's been around forever. They only do television, specifically current stuff.

I guess my main objection is that tvtorrents.com is a login site that makes you register.

As far as I know, tvtorrents.tv and btefnet have been around longer and do not require a login, credits, or have glitzy ads.

They also only do TV shows.

I torrented it. Thanks, all.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Just don't download the Lost ep18 from btefnet. They claim it is watchable but my friend downloaded it and said it is, in fact, watchable ... if you don't mind black screens and large green blocks covering most of the screen at random intervals. ThePirateBay.org has a different copy of ep18. It's supposedly 5.1 audio so the file size is 700mb but it looks and plays perfectly.
