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!
I'm having trouble with Firefox since I downloaded the most recent version. First of all I lost all my bookmarks. I followed the helpful guidelines to reload them from the backup...but then they disappeared the next time I opened it.
You might try checking which profile is being used.
Close Firefox, then click Start-->Run and enter
firefox.exe -profilemanager
It could be that the profile that is launched by default is in a different folder than the one you've been restoring the booksmarks file to.
ION, the update to ver. 1.5.0.7 was just released today.
okay, so here's some ipod unboxing porn:

So, I've decided to attempt another escape from the evil empire (tm) and so far it's going pretty good. So far Ubuntu 6.06 hasn't given me the problems that I experienced with 5.10. I am preferring Gnome over KDE though in the past with other linux distros it's been the other way around. I've managed to get Ktorrent working without a problem. Likewise with VLC and Opera. I've got Wine installed but haven't had much luck with it so far--it installed a couple of games fine but then wouldn't load the damn things. I signed up with Cedega for 3 months but have only had limited success with that so far--only tried some smaller games, and since it's designed for top-end games we'll see how it goes.
I have a new iPod, la la la la la LA LA LA LA LA LA LA.
Anyone know stuff about mail merge in Word?
Do you need to "open the data source" every time you open the merge document in Word? (For what I'm working on, the data source will always be the same.)

Yay!
In my experience, you do IF the datasource has changed any and you want to include the new items. If anyone knows an easier way, I would love it!
I suppose you could do it with VBA, assuming there's a method for that.
Maybe I'll look that up later.
Crap on a crap burger!
I inserted a buch of merge fields of the If... Then... Else variety. (i.e conditional, based on data in the data document.) Now they're gone. The other merge fields are still there.
I am looking at the document now with Word XP, but I created it in Word 2000. Maybe the different version of Word screwed it up?
Anyone ever use the If... Then... Else merge functionality?
We just installed software DAID on a Win2K server. To test it, my boss pulled one of the three RAID drives and then booted. There was no warning of anything at all, except for a warning in the system log. Is there any other way to detect a drive failure besides periodically checking the system log?
tommy- I have tried to use the if, then, etc, but I think Word mail merge is the devil. I have more luck hand checking the people I want to send to.
