I've actually had two video cards fail, but this is a high end HDMI-enabled Media Center. The replacement card this time has its OWN fan, because its intended for game and video-production use.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
That's some seriously bad luck.
Tell me about it. Or maybe it's me and I have a computer components equivalent of a Black Thumb. The machine was running fine before I messed with the memory stick this time, so it must be something I've done, right? *sigh*
The video card fail though -- that was not me! Not sure what the hell happened there.

Sophia,
is your mother paying for the subscription on a credit card? If so, you might go through them and dispute future charges if the MSN people give you guff.

I am paying for it on my credit card! But that is an idea. This was to tide her over until she could get roadrunner, which she now has.

document your attempts to cancel the service and then dispute the next charge.

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

Is there a Twitter app (desktop and iPhone) that can remember where you stopped reading and sync between both platforms?
I like Tweetie but it only remembers the last thing I read on the desktop, and not on the phone. I want to be able to switch back and forth. (The other factor that complicates things is at work where I can't install anything so I just use Twitter.com...any way I can sync between the site and a desktop/mobile app?)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Echofon and Tweetdeck both advertise syncing between phone and client (disclaimer: I like one on the phone and one on the computer, so I've never actually used the sync feature), but I doubt you could incorporate things you've read on the twitter website in any client.

Excel is fucking with me again.
One of my spreadsheets mysteriously turned itself read-only last week. No biggie, we saved-as to make a writable copy and kept going.
Now I'm trying to delete this file and it won't even let me do that!
I'm running a locked-down XP and Office 2007. Any ideas?
