Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

wow ... and a really polite answer.

If a real person answered that, I can imagine them getting the question, going "what!", checking it again, and then going around to their coworkers and giggling hysterically over it. Then sitting down, repressing the giggles, and coming up with an answer that doesn't include "dumbass".

I have discovered FireShot, the Best FireFox Extension Ever (today at least, for me.) It takes screenshots and lets you mark them up.

Oh ye people who need their hands held with screenshots of every blessed thing in order to learn how to use something, watch out, because I have an 18-page handout for you!

I love this answer from that thread:

Every Gigabyte counts as 5oz of extra weight for your computer.There has been cases (in computers with 1Tb of Hard drive and more) of people left eMule activated 3 days and when that people returned to the computer,there was a hole in the floor instead.

My wireless on my laptop has ceased to work, and when I go to the Control Panel, HP Wireless Assistant won't open. Any thoughts?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Go into device manager (Control Panels->System->Hardware-> Device Manager) and see if it's listed.

if it is, is it disabled? Enable it.

It it is and it's not disabled, uninstall it and reboot, and see if it will reinstall.

If it is not listed, there is a menu item up top that says "Show missing devices" or some such, find it and uninstall, reboot, etc.

Yeah, okay, it's not there at all. HP is saying that my model (though not necessarily my series) of notebook tends to have this problem. Now I have to find out which BIOS?? I have and therefore need to update to. I think.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is there any way to record streaming mp3 audio to disk, so I can grab songs from the file (using Audacity)? I may end up using Audio Hijack Pro, but that entails grabbing the audio after it's been uncompressed, which means I'll have to compress it again to mp3, and it'd be nice to avoid the resulting quality loss.

Updated the BIOS and Wireless Assistant with the recommended upgrades and still nothing. I've rebooted the laptop seven times so far. Nothing.
