The DVI/HDMI connection works when I attach the monitor to another computer. And I just noticed that the rear panel of the computer that it's not working with has a separate HDMI input connection. Perhaps the mobo of this machine requires HDMI/HDMI? Not sure why HDMI/DVI wouldn't work. Off to search around for a HDMI/HDMI cable...
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

There used to be a Firefox extension called TabBrowser Preferences, which hasn't been updated for Firefox 3. Most of the features have been integrated into the default tab options *except* the option to have URLs typed into the address bar automatically open in a new tab.
Is there another (current) extension that will do this? Remembering to Ctl-T every time I want a new tab is a PITA.

I found Tab Mix Plus, but I kind of hate its execution. Oh well.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
wow, that's a handy option. I have never heard of that, Jessica.
and guess what? one of my favorite extensions does this if you enable the option ----> tabkit

Now tagless for your comfort.
If one wanted to download a video from YouTube to use in a PowerPoint presentation, how would one go about doing it?

Cashmere, what kind of computer are you on?

I tried that but got a very strange result--just a loud blip and a streak of light.
However, turns out I had downloaded a program called Any Video Converter to get some clips off of my motorola Q and I could use that to pull stuff off of YouTube and convert it to an mpeg or wmv.
Then I just insert the file into the PP presentation.
So I guess I should have pressed some buttons and then saw what happened.

All is well that ends in pizza.
There is a Firefox add-on that i added that lets me "override all compatibility" on extensions not officiallly updated for the current version of firefox.
"Nightly tester tools"
it can't fix them all, but I've had a lot of success.
