I suggest contacting Seagate and seeing if they will replace it with a similar-sized Seagate drive, this time.

I'll probably do that. I've been just sitting on it because I've been busy and won't be going out of warranty anytime soon.
I replaced the drive after I sent it in since it was my Mythbox's drive. I'm not exactly sure where I'll put it once replaced. Maybe I'll stick it on my slug for more backup space.

Hi hive mind. Last night I learned a new game... or rather one that is credited as the oldest known boardgame. Senet. There is a website that you can play online. But it won't load on any of my browsers (Firefox, Safari, Camino). All say it needs an unknown plug-in to play. Could someone tell me what plugin it needs? Will it play on others computers? Is it just hating my Mac?
TIA. Here is the [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
IE7 on XP tells me it's an ActiveX control. But it doesn't work there either.
OK, Firefox on XP tells me it needs Shockwave 10.1. So I installed that, but now it says it's missing a Shockwave decompression XTRA. Then I get A Shockwave error: "Error playing Director Movie."
Hope that helps.
edit for decompression thingie....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

OK, I opened up Firefox in Windows (thank you Parallels) and it works just fine. Most curious. Thanks Tommy for your help.

Omnis, See if you can unistall, then reinstall Shockwave on OSX.
The Shockwave Player installer for Macintosh also functions as an uninstaller.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
HELP! I was working on a Word document, and went to save it, and got some message that the table was corrupt or some shit and blah blah blah, and I hit "OK," because that's what I do, and the document is GONE. Not on the thumb drive it was saved on, not anywhere in my C: drive, no where, as far as I can tell. How could that be?? And is there anything I can do to get it back?? Fuck.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You could try searching for all documents modified recently. Windows lets you specify that.
