Anyone using Word 2013? An author on my team just got it and were having crazy versioning issues.
For example, I got a 46-page chapter from him and saw track changes perfectly until page 30, then nothing. He has been a huge pain-in-the-ass so I had suspected he hadn't finished but sent anyway (with the time difference, it was hard to verify the comment time codes once I could see all of them).
Today he says the 51-page document I sent to him is showing up as 18 pages. Googling shows this missing page thing happens, but it seems random and I'm not finding a clear fix. Anyone know of one?
[On a side note, I can't believe the default for track changes is essentially that changes are now invisible and there's no longer a built-in dictionary. WTF? I use my laptop often without being online. Planes, traveling, etc. To the Adobe issue Scola mentioned above, I so do not want software that depends on wifi access, or a subscription.]
Some nice ethernet cable for audiophiles: AudioQuest Diamond RJ/E Ethernet Cable 12m - FutureShop.co.uk
12 meters, £6,899.00, or about $11,500.
When insulation is unbiased, it slows down parts of the signal differently, a big problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio.
Well alrighty then.
Great tagline, Tom. I love that song, especially that line.
I'm clearly in the wrong part of the audio business.
Just need to sell a couple of those a year to make a living.
Argh. The charging port on my kindle is loose or something, and will only charge/transfer things when I hold it juuuuuust so. Just went and checked--it's 14 months old. Hrmph, Amazon. Not impressed.
Check and see if there's a build of of dust or grit or other junk in the port, that can cause the cable to not seat quite correctly.
Semi-related: I got the warranty on my latest earbuds at Radio Shack, hoping it would actually be worth it. And? TOTALLY WORTH IT. When they started crapping out, I just went in and they gave me a new set. No questions, no testing the equipment, just a new set.
A+ would buy again.

If it's not the grit that ND suggested, it sounds like a loose solder connection.
Is it a Kindle Fire? It seems to be mentioned as a common repair.
the repair vids don't seem too intimidating, so repair is possible.
