Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

How is it misused?

I remember seeing a particularly inane article by John Dvorak where he was complaining about ajax. A closer read, however, made clear that what he was really complaining about was poorly written CSS and javascript.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I don't know if any of the tech gurus will have advice since my preferred browser is so out of date (Netscape 7.1 for the Mac), but just in case:

Something apparently happened to my program over the long weekend, resulting in Netscape no longer actually saving files to my computer when I click "Save Link Target As..." or "Save Image." It seems to work normally, but the download manager doesn't pop up and nothing actually gets saved. (Whatever happened also erased most of my saved bookmarks, but left a random assortment including some recent ones.) I've looked through the preferences to see if there's some setting I need to switch back, but couldn't find any likely culprits. I also re-installed the program, but the same problem continues. Any advice or suggestions?

have you cleared out your cookies and cache?

can you create a new profile (like you can do on firefox) and start over?

I'll give the former a try. I don't recall seeing a place to create a profile within the program, though.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hotmail has decided my friend's email address is spam. Any clue on how I fix this?

PC. The Language Toolbar swears I'm in English (US), but my at and hash keys say otherwise!

[eta: It's not a huge deal because I'm leaving in 5 minutes, but I really hope it fixes itself by tomorrow.]
