I'm a rebel. I run Firefox in Dangerous Mode, baby!
You should try Fucking Suicidal Mode. It crashes your computer, but oh! What a ride!
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I didn't even know that Firefox had a difficulty level setting.

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

Haven't tried that, although I did use Meth-Fueled Crime Spree Mode for a while....

So, restarting iTunes has not solved this problem:
"The iPod could not be synced. The required file could not be found."
Any other suggestions?
t eta Restore seems to be working - let's hope it keeps on trucking.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Argggh! I just got a huge new monitor (25.5") for my new 'puter that's been working like a charm since I built it from parts a few weeks ago. I shut down the computer, attached the new monitor, and hit the startup button and... nothing! No cpu fan, no hum, and certainly no beep. WTF? I checked and rechecked all the connections, opened up the case to look for any loose wires, but I can't find anything wrong. Could the power supply have crapped out so completely? Any suggestions on things to look for or test?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Did you try putting back the old monitor?

Not yet, but shouldn't at least the light go on, even if there's no monitor connected? What the heck, I'll give it a try.

Well blow me down! That seems to be it! I'll try double checking the monitor connections and the HDMI/DVI cord (it has a VGA connection; I'll try that too). Damn, I hope I don't have to return it. I hate dealing with mail order returns.

Yeah, fans should come on, computer should go through BIOS and attempt to boot....
Did you plug the new monitor into the power supply of the new computer? I wouldn't think that'd matter, as I'd think that 120V output would come directly from the 120V input and not be part of the power supply's listed capacity, but maybe there's a fuse for the whole thing?
All I can think of to suggest is to swap in a different power supply (don't take Slade's) and see if it works then.
