I did a clean install, and there's nothing there.
My experience from doing 15 years of this stuff is that upgrades should be avoided. A&I or a clean install are always to be preferred.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hey. New board.
I did a clean install, too. Upgrades still use the old method of starting processes, which is why I wondered.

So, I got that email about the battery--I have to pull the battery out of my computer ot find out if it's one of the affected ones?? That sounds...dangerous. And will being without a battery while I look at it do anything to the 'puter?

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

Not at all. Batteries are removable in laptops. I think you get the replacement before you send yours back, though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And will being without a battery while I look at it do anything to the 'puter?
Nah. If the computer is off, it won't do a thing at all; if it's plugged in at the time and the computer is on because you're doing it at work in a state of semi-freakout about omg my precious is going to burst into flames while in the middle of doing something (NOT THAT I KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT), it will (PURELY THEORETICALLY, AS I DID NOT DO SUCH A THING MYSELF) probably be just fine too.
(It's the big screw that you can open with a coin, with the lock/unlock icons on it, and it'll pop right off. The serial number is right on the top of the battery.)

OK, cool--thanks Amy! I'll try it momentarily, then.

Gmail keeps crashing Safari (on OS 10.3.9) -- anyone else having this problem/know how to fix it?
No, I haven't re-booted yet; I figured I'd ask around to see if it's happening to anyone else first.

and it was that easy, and it looks like mine is not supposed to explode into flames.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That they know of... Yet...

The DVD portion of my PC's DVDRW drive seems to be frelled. A quick gander at Tiger Direct makes it look like they're too cheap to bother repairing.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Also, do I need to take into consideration the burning software, or are drives backwardly compatible (the busted drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW 106D -- it's only recognising CDs now)?
Of course, if I could work out how to use iDVD, this'd be less urgent. I dropped an .AVI onto a project, but preview doesn't show jackshit.
