@bonny fides yeah I def understand where your coming from in terms of online security. I know one thing that helped me in terms of the security feature was to just try using an account that was not a high risk if something were to happen. I would monitor it from time to time until I got completely comfortable with the level of software security and set up. I believe both Inoutcash.com and Mint both offer the VeriSign and TrustE which are leaders in online security services. If all else fails there is always the faithful ole excel spreadsheet! Good luck!

Hey. New board.
Jessica, the current iPhone version of scrabble will let you hook up to and start scrabble games using a facebook account, so I imagine the ipad version will offer that as well.
This is pretty much the only reason I keep my facebook account these days.

Is there a way to force Adobe Acrobat 6.0 to open documents at 100% zoom instead of "fit to screen"? It's only a couple of clicks, but it's starting to annoy me.

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

A fair number of people, actually. I think it's where I look first.

Laptop repair question:
My 4-year old laptop has been overheating and (eventually) shutting off for a couple of years. This has not really been a problem, but it seems to be getting worse. From what I read on the Interwebs, this seems fairly common and just requires dusting, especially around the heatsink.
There are plenty of step-by-step instructions on the web, which tempts me since I managed the dvr. It looks like bringing it into a repair shop will be $100+. Am I crazy to consider opening this thing up?
Otherwise, this laptop is perfectly fine for my needs and I do not need to upgrade right now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Have you just tried blowing compressed air into the fan vents?

Yeah, I tried that awhile ago. Naturally, one of the repair guys I just spoke to said "whatever you do, don't use compressed air". But it clearly didn't break the fan or whatever.
