Is anyone else seeing a problem with Google Maps satellite view right now?
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

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.

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.

If it's powerful enough to block you disclosing its name, it's powerful enough to do all kinds of crazy shit to your computer. Sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh god, the video card got Vonnie!
(And also made me temporarily illiterate, clearly.)

HAHAHA. I don't know what the hell just happened -- the linking snafe ate the rest of the post! Or my new graphic card is evil, possibly.
