Is it literally called "hosts"?

Maybe lmhost? I'm on a Mac right now, and entering a food coma.

It may also be in Windows>System32>drivers>etc.

Some sites work fine, like this one. I can always get to Yahoo Mail's front page, but no further. I can get the header of cnn.com, but not any content. I can load Norton's webpage, but not McAfee's. It seems to be completely hit and miss.

Okay, that doesn't sound quite as bad as the nasty program I ran into. It was similar -- some pages would load just fine, but others wouldn't. However, the ones that wouldn't would get hijacked and redirected to some other site entirely, namely on the home page and on several search sites.

Sorry, there's not much more help I can offer.

Thank you, Jessica. Cause I was all, "buh?" It was more a tone thing, as in, if she had bitched about it as Marissa is such a fuck up and she is JACOB and I'm fucking Esau, the kid who is forgotten because of how needy Jacob is then I would have bought it. Or if she had something about how "Why should I act right? No one ever notices me if I do. It's only when I fuck up as much as Marissa that I get any attention." But she sounded so admiring or jealous as of potential admiration that I was confused.

Also, question: was it here that people were talking about Gerald Butler's turn as Beowulf? I finally saw the trailer and Butler seems to big to be Beowulf. And I'm disappointed that Grendel is just some excessively hairy dude and not an actual troll.

I saw it at a film festival in September. It wasn't that great. They did period look, modern dialogue. The funny bits were good, the drama and the action, nsm.

Oh, I agree that Kara must go. I hope next.

The OC - okay, in the Cooper family, Marissa is the one that everyone loves -- heck, she got to stay in OC and not be shipped out to boarding school.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Got it. The hosts file shows nothing but "localhost".

Just got the latest MoveOn.org email. It looks like the Dems are going to fillibuster Alito. If you have a senator that you think will listen, call them at their DC office and register your desire that Alito never come anywhere near the Supreme Court.

That song is not dorky!

Speaking only for myself, as the person who called shrift a dork, I didn't mean the song was dorky; *Shrift* is a dork for making that reference.

Though I admit it made me laugh, which makes me complicit in her dorkness.

Really? Everything I've seen news-wise has indicated that it'll be smooth sailing.
