Coding and Sleeping

I thought I had my first serious fail from Windows 7 64-bit. I hooked up my old laser printer and it didn't work. I installed Vista drivers from Samsung and it still didn't work. I uninstalled everything and installed a different Vista driver. Didn't work.

Then I changed USB cables. Turned on the printer and Win 7 had it configured in a few seconds without any action on my part. Windows 7 - 1. USB Cable - 0.

not sure if it's the new Firefox, or just Netflix, but reorganizing my queue was a royal pain in the butt. Anyone else having the problem?

ita, on the desktop version of Skype, it's in Options under Privacy. I can't find a place to set it on the website.

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

Thanks, Deena. I went through the adventure of setting it up on my PC (Vista and firewalling Skype makes *no* sense--it wouldn't let me log in until I had unchecked Skype as an exception to the firewalling) and bumped into it much more easily there.

I can't believe that the new, shiny, large hard drive that the Mac repair place put in my laptop has already failed. It's only been a couple months. I wonder what their warranty period is like...and why did it have to go pear-shaped on the 4th?

Can anybody tell my why my Mac isn't connecting with anybody's iDisk? I really need to check for a file on Drew's iDisk, but every time I try to connect, it just gives me "clunk" sound and nothing happens.

Sean, has your system been up and running a loooong time? Maybe a reboot?? It's a long shot.

I have discovered the problem. Nevermind.

Drew didn't actually leave anything on his iDisk.
