I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

"The connection was refused when attempting to contact start.mozilla.org."

Will Firefox connect to any other web sites for you?

Is your Firefox home page set to start.mozilla.org? Check Tools->Options->General and change it to your normal home page.

Hmmm...when I try start.mozilla.org I get www.google.com

www.mozilla.org looks normal.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

No, I get the same message for all websites. I tried changing to my normal homepage, still getting the same problem.

What firewall are you using?

Good question. How do I find out?

Tell more about the hardware and the software you are using. I'll get out of my depth pretty quickly, but some other part of the hivemind may pick up the slack.

Actually, the problem now seems to be resolved. I think it was the pop-up blocker in IE SP2.

Thanks everyone for your help.

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

Where's a good place to start reading about flat screen TV technology?

Say, if one were to have fixed a PowerMac G3/266 that one got for free what Operating System would be a good match? Say Mac OS 9 or perhaps a slightly older version of OS X like 10.1 or 10.2? I don't think OS X 10.3 or 10.4 support that old a Mac.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Can someone download this Access 2003 template and see if I am craxy:

It appears to be missing the Payments table, and therefore doesn't have the ability to make an invoice, etc. I would think this was a feature, but some of the queries says 'cannot find table or query "payment"' AND there is a table of payment methods, but no where that I can find to enter them.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I've got a perl script that has worked in the past, but has decided this year that part of it doesn't want to. It's for the WMBR fundraiser that starts Wednesday morning. Here's what it does:

  • Collects information from an html form.
  • Writes the data to a flat file.
  • Sends an email to me notifying me that a pledge has been received.
  • Sends a different email to the pledger acknowledging their pledge.
  • Generates and displays an html page acknowledging their pledge.

Everything was working except for the first email (the pledger receives an email but not me). Just a moment ago, all I did was change "my" email, and now *I* receive an email but not the pledger. WTF!

Anyone want to take a look at the script to see what I'm missing?
