try double bagging it in ziplock bags (with as much air as possible out of the bags) and put it in the freezer for 1 hour. Take it out and see if disk utility can deal with it.

I have a similar problem, Matt.
I have two external HDD, same brand, with similar symptoms. When I get a chance, I'm going to take them out of their cases (Seagate over packaging) and try them directly in my computer or in another external adapter.
Argh.

After a week or so, my Carbonite backup is at 84%. Those last 100 files or so seem to be going very slowly!

Should I be thinking about a DSL router that handles IPv6?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Should I be thinking about a DSL router that handles IPv6?
Not in a "you must switch on this day or you go dead" way like with digital TV, no. Thinking about it henever you would normally upgrade otherwise, yes, but since just about everything you can buy now can handle both v4 and v6, it shouldn't be something you'd even have to worry about at that point.
The major issue is for ISPs and major sites connecting to the backbone, not end users connecting to their own ISPs -- if your DSL provider is assigning IPv4 from their existing pool of addresses, they'll keep doing that, and handle the address translation at the upstream end once they actually have to in some months (if they aren't doing that already).
I wouldn't be too surprised if ISPs started saying "hey, we're going to swap out your existing box" kind of like cable companies did. But since you have a DSL provider (and therefore aren't running your own internet node on pre-2000 hardware, in which case I'd be awed but also a little confused!), it'll be pretty invisible on your end for a while yet.

I think I'll upgrade when something important to me is accessible only on an ipv6-only website.
ETA: Or if there's a really good deal...

OK, I need advice.
I recently rebuilt my Mac Mini's directories using DiskWarrior. It had been in a permanent kernel panic before that. Now, should I restore to a Time Machine Backup from before the kernel panic problem started, or will that reintroduce the problem? Or do I even need to restore? I'm not sure what rebuilding the directories changed.

Hey, does anyone have Zooborns on their iphone/ipad? For the past week or so, it's been telling me there aren't any images to be found, but the web site seems to be updating still, and I am wondering if it's just me or the app.
