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!

Ok, let's start with, can I actually post?
Great. Next question: Does anyone else have problems with Panther (both Safari and Firefox) and LiveJournal? Every few days LJ pages change sizes, such that I have to scroll horizontally in order to read each line. Last time, Daniel fixed it by, I think, View Maximize Screen. Today, that trick sure worked for the horizontal problem. But then it would not allow me to scroll all the way to the bottom of an entry to post a comment.
Is this an LJ thing, or is it more likely that someone is screwing with my computer when I am not looking?

Allows you to use a desktop computer while sitting in bed.Me likee space-saving aspects of that design. Would be useful in many situations.
See, but that's for sitting up in bed. When I saw your link, I was picturing a monitor suspended above my head so I could lie down in bed and type up. Heh.
A friend gave me a Sony SVR-2000 Tivo box. I have no wish to actually purchase the tivo service (nor do I have a landline to utilize). I can't seem to figure out how to bypass the phone set-up to be able to use the machine as a plain digital recorder. Google isn't giving me any help on that either. Anyone here have a suggestion?
Question for people familiar with Outlook Express and the way viruses work:
I have two harddrives. I use one as a system drive and the other has a data drive, so that if something's likely to get fried or nuked by a virus, it's the system drive. Before, I had stored my mail in the default folder on the C drive because I hadn't bothered to check whether I could change it. I manually backed up my mail every now and then, but it's a pain, and I'm paranoid that I'll forget for months and then the C drive will die. So today I changed the mail to be stored on the D drive.
What I'm wondering is that now that OE is deliberately accessing the D drive, does that it make it more vulnerable to any viruses or worms I might get? Or will those still attack the C drive, the one running the program?
It's not that simple, PC. Viruses are programs, and as such, do whatever the writer wanted them to do. They may not kill drives, they may grab all your e-mail addresses and propagate, or they may take all your data and throw it to the winds.
So, basically, I'm no more or less safer. Okay. Stupid viruses.
