Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, yeah, meara, that was totally a thing for me. In fact, I kept getting confused because I wasn't really looking at drop down menus, I was just rightclicking and then moving the cursor down to open in new tab, not realizing I was opening in new window, and then I was all confused. So I migrated my other computers, just to be consistent. The placement of the bookmarks folder is still somewhat confusing, but I think I'm mostly adjusted now. But it was a pretty close thing there for a bit; I nearly went Opera.

Where do you shop for desktops these days? Dell does not seem to be great.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, I've heard nothing that makes me want to upgrade to FF4.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, that took a minute to get used to.

Can you get stuff out of the drop-down autocomplete or whatever address bar in FF? I haven't tried that hard, but in IE, there's just an X you can click on the right of the drop-down list.

yeah, thought so. Might just be an issue with Vizios and Tivo. I like the TV otherwise. It's a tiny issue, I don't get the tivo sounds when I am using the FF buttons while watching a show. I miss my bloops, but it's not that big of a deal.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I've seen some prices for HDMI cables that (in my opinion) border on the criminal.

Ctrl+Shift+Del or Tools->Clear Recent History

It's a good idea to select to show Details so that you can pick just what you want to delete.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It could still be a bad HDMI cable, but spending more money for one won't increase the odds of it being good.

So I was just trying to have a video chat with a friend using gchat, and weirdly, I could see him, and myself, in the little window, and we could hear each other, but he couldn't see either. He kept getting a message that his computer didn't have a functioning camera, or something. Which...clearly it did, I was getting video of him. Any thoughts? (He's apparently on a macbook--if there hadn't been any video, I'd have assumed it was an issue with the camera, but since there was...)

Ah! That's what I was looking for! Thanks.

Edit: No, sorry, I meant individual sites. Not the whole shebang....
