I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Show hidden files and folders

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?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Did McAfee come with the laptop? If so, then it's probably on one of the restore disks that came with the laptop. Also, You could also just go to McAfee's site and buy it there. [link]

There are also some free antivirus programs that work pretty well, too, like AVG [link] or Clamwin [link]

Quick wi-fi question...

vwbug is at my house and her PC can't log onto my Apple Airport based network. I know we have the password correct but she keeps getting an error message. Any obvious ideas? (I tried taking the password off completely but Leopard wont' let me or at least I can't figure it out.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

do you have the option on the airport to say "these M.A.C. address's only". You might have to add the MAC address on her wi-fi card to the list.

Interesting site I just learned about:

www.seeqpod.com

you can search and listen to pretty much any song. Also works on the iPhone. Not sure about other mobile devices.

I don't think it's the MAC address - I haven't enabled that on this network. It's weird - her computer is giving her this error that says the password needs 13 characters even though I know it only has 7.

All is well that ends in pizza.

You might give it more characters.

Otherwise is it WEP or another style?
