hmm. I think gmail's performance is a firefox one. I don't think all the extensions I use in gmail has affected it much.
and I have a whole lot of email in gmail. I think I'm 50% full.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
iFeast Pet-Feeding & MP3 Docking Station
Finally, A Portable Pet Feeding/Watering System For Your MP3 Player
Let's face it. You and your pet don't share the same "taste" in music. That's why TechnoPetz created iFeast, the portable pet feeding/watering system for your MP3 player. Mealtime will never be the same for your pet with iFeast.
No, the products aren't real. But the empty boxes are. Wrap your otherwise forgettable gift in an Onion gift box, and watch their faces fall when they realize there is no such thing as a pet feeding/docking station for an overly pampered pet—just a crappy bric-a-brac inside you waited until the last moment to buy.

Hey. New board.
Okay, I just got the second e-mail from my parents, sent to a very weird contact list, that is clearly pointing me towards some sort of viral thing at depositfiles.com
The thing is, my parents only use Macs, and the address it uses is an older one that is not their default at all anymore. Plus, the link it sends me takes me to "new5.exe" which doesn't sound much like a Mac virus, all things considered.
The address it's using is a Yahoo account, and doesn't appear in their sent messages online. Any idea how this might be happening?

Are you sure your parents sent the message? Someone else may be spoofing their address.

Hey. New board.
No, it's from them. But it looks like the contact list it's using is their actual Yahoo Mail contact list (a very arbitrary list), so I'm just having them change the password to something more secure.

Gris,
they may want to change their answers to security questions also. That's how Sarah Palin got punk'd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Le N, I know I've asked you this elsewhere before, but I can't find where--what are you using for journalling on the Mac?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I've got a problem with Java in both Safari and Firefox. I'm on a Macbook Pro with Leopard and I've updated my software, repaired my permissions and restarted, but I cannot use some online games that I used to play all the time.
I get the message that Java is either not installed or not enabled. Neither of which are true. Does anyone have any ideas?
