All is well that ends in pizza.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I had a very similar question to Jon's. I tried to find an answer on my own (ended up at google sites. We'll see.), but I'll take a look at those, as well.
Thanks, amy

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I also saw wikidot.com as a free and paid hosting site.
I used to like ComputerWorld's Shark Tank as a place to read about stupid and hopefully funny things that happen in the IT world, but recently it's been pretty lame itself. I also stumbled upon The daily WTF which is simpler and less corporate, but not quite it. Does anyone know of anything similar that might satisfy that particular jones?
Huh. The Opera spell-checker suggests RTFM as an alternative for WTF. Nice to know they're profane.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is anyone else seeing a problem with Google Maps satellite view right now?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Nope, looks the same as always to me.

works for me. I'm on Firfox 3.5.5 with MacOS 10.5.8. I zoomed Dallas, and NYC. Both worked fine for me. Is it a particular area you having problems with? Or the map in general?

Any satellite map tile comes up as "We are sorry, but we don't have imagery at this zoom level for this region. Try zooming out." -- no matter what level I'm zoomed at.
I'm going to assume that it's a problem with my work's web proxy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I am having a really hard time organizing my hundreds (thousands?) of firefox bookmarks. I've done dozens of google searches trying to figure out something to help.
do any of you have suggestions (like rapid-tagging, or quick ways to organize them all)? I've been tagging bookmarks, but got 1/3rd of the way through. it is a bit tedious, but I can do that if that's the best I can do right now.
I don't do social bookmarks (like delicious) at all.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
OK, so that problem I was having a couple of weeks ago with screen blinking and fritzing and the computer rebooting by itself? Turned out it *was* a video card problem, solved by a new graphics card. The problem is, after the video card exchange, the programs seem to open and close a lot more slowly. Even browsing is a tad slower than before. I don't think the card I bought was that powerful (it's a GeForce 8400) compared to my old card, which I believe was NVidia 6000 series. Any ideas? I defragged and cleaned up the drives but that didn't seem to help that much.
I suspect I need more RAM (my current machine is about 3 years old and has only 1GB) but I wanted to know there is anything else I can do before I shell out the money for that.
