Normally, to debug Javascript in IE you set "Display a notification about every script error" to True and "Disable Script Debugging" to False. Anyone know why sometimes script debugging may not be an option even with these settings?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cellphone question. Yesterday I finally called Cingular/AT&T to complain that my reception has been getting worse over the past year. The guy on the phone was very nice (and I to him). And he supposedly looked at a map of my location, and the location of cell towers. He said I was in the middle of about 10 towers. He explained that the probable reason of poor reception was that as I leave a tower (i.e. driving into work), that tower will hold communication with my cell as long as possible, even tho I am now closer to another tower. Such that, my low/no signal is because the phone is trying to talk to tower A. But if I turn off my phone for 15 seconds, and power back on, that it would seek the strongest signal and latch on to it.
Which sounds ok for a moment. But then, like... if your cell says "No Signal", wouldn't it actively LOOK for a new signal and latch on to tower B??
Just wondering if anyone knows better, or if the guy was real nice and LIED to me to get me off the phone.

omnis - I have heard that other people who had your problem got a new sim card and that things improved considerably for them.

I started noting the problem in/around March or so. I got a new iPhone in November (with new SIM card). And it hasn't improved.

I've watched my phone do exactly that thing, omnis. It will get no signal in a place where I know it should be getting great signal.
To get it to reset to the nearest cell tower (instead of whichever one it's locked onto), I flip it into airplane mode for a second, and flip back. When it tries to pick up signal again, it will grab the nearest tower, and get great signal again.
I had only theorized that this was what the phone was doing. It's nice to get some official-type validation of my big brain.

the thing that says its bunk is this. I'll do it (and ya, I do the airplane mode, as it's faster 'reboot'), and leave the phone on the desk. It'll show full bars after the 'reset'. Then, like 10-15 min later, I'll look again, and one blip or no service again. If its reset to the nearest tower, shouldn't it stay at full bars if the phone hasn't moved?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Quick dumb question-
How do I make 'invisible" folders visible in Windows. My boss saved something very important in a file called "temporary internet files" inside "Local Settings" inside her user folder. However, the "Local setting file doesn't show when I go in (It shows on the Save as Screen, and I can see the 10 different version of the document in there)

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

Thrive to spite them
I am an idiot.
I've been getting a message on my laptop from McAfee that I need to renew and I wasn't thinking, and uninstalled it thinking I had Norton on my laptop already. Except I don't have I Norton on my desktop.
So now that I have uninstalled McAfee is there anyway to get it back?
