I am the fly who dreams of the spider

my browser window went full screen and I can no longer access the task bar, and can only switch between tabs. I have mashed every F key and combination of Shift and Ctrl and Tab and Alt. It's Internet Explorer. Help!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Juliebird, the F11 key should fix that.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Or the Escape key.

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

I just performed a Flash upgrade on my work laptop, and now I'm not able to play any youtube video. At least, I'm assuming that's the reason. Anyone else having problems?

eta: never mind--it seems to be "just" taking a hell of a long time to load. I hope that doesn't persist.

Okay, so you know how tivo defaults to only having 5 episodes of any one show available at one time? What happens to the one that it deletes? Due to some of the stupid "recaps" that some show are doing, an episode accidentally got deleted. It wasn't in the deleted shows queue, but I can't figure out where it went. Anyone have an idea?

Into the ether, I'm afraid.

But that doesn't make any sense! It should still be on the hard drive!

It doesn't not make sense. Auto-deletes don't go into their equivalent of the recycle bin. That's only for things you erase, and only for a little while (annoyingly enough--I have lots of space, but nothing ever stays long enough for me to grab it back).

Ann, that's a ferret.

Vortex, how old were episodes? Our Tivo sends the earliest recorded shows from the deleted list into the ether first, regardless of the order in which they were deleted.
